No news is good news

I guess it’s time for a mid-month update. I continue to get my Vectibix every two weeks – my last treatment being last Tuesday. It’s not as tough to take as the old treatment except for the acne-like rash. The rash is pretty pervasive, covering just about everything from the top of my head to my waist. It’s dry and itchy and unsightly but on the whole, not a terrible price to pay to keep living.


Tomorrow, I leave for Florida for the week to visit my father. He is transitioning to an assisted living place after his fall last November. I hope to finish up a number of things related to the move, and have my fingers crossed that he will be able to settle in to the new place. For anyone who has done this with older relatives, I’m sure you know that it’s not easy. Anyway, I look forward to a few days of warmer weather.

In the meantime, we shipped Vicki back off to school and took in a Columbia basketball game when we dropped her off. She had a terrific first semester and is excited to be back. David is finishing up the Winter track season having not run a single race – a high ankle sprain side-lining him for the entire season. He goes to practice and the trainer and PT but not to the meets. Hopefully, he’ll get back out there in the Spring track season.

I hope you Northeasterners enjoyed the first snow yesterday since our snow-tober surprise! I’m not a huge fan of snow generally, but it does look pretty. And speaking of pretty, this post’s photo is of our Christmas Cactus which has been blooming like a manic in the front window! BB
