Today I almost could forget that Lynn has cancer. We woke up (after she slept close to 12 hours) and played some games (Europa Universalis 2 for those playing along at home). Then we spent an hour or so spreading mulch. That pooped out Lynn so we went inside for a bit to rest on the couch. Then it was off to the library and the store. We might have overdid it a bit as Lynn is out cold on the couch.
She has mentioned fatigue and sleepiness, but feels that much of it is the meds when it comes to grogginess. Now that we are off the pain medications, there is no nausea, but we don't want to decrease the current dosage (the standard on the label) of anti-nausea medications for fear of taking too little. Given the chemo and the cancer---what's the worst that can happen?
I worry that this will all become too mundane. I never want to take anything for granted anymore when it comes to Lynn. She is great and to squander that because of routine would be terrible. A human train, none-the-less, that pulls us under eventually. Comfort. Routine. Ennui.
We bought Lynn purple hair dye.....why not?

Maybe the silver lining: appreciating the normalcy of day to day life and being able to resume some normalcy in the face of the cancer. It's wonderful to hear the pleasure seeping through your philosophical musing.
We love you both.
mom and dad
sometimes the mundane things are the most precious and beautiful, we have just gotten so used to handling them that we have stopped looking at how beautiful it can be, for example, to spread mulch with someone you love.
