I've missed you. I've been tired. :) I am overall doing ok; going to work 4 hours each day. Some nausea, not horrible. Fatigue...yes. Sleep...good. I do have some thoughts on future blog entries including movies that will nicely visually represent the cell war going on in my body, and the high, high cost of medical care and specialty drugs. Those are next in the queue.
I do love this fall weather - slightly chilly mornings; sunny, warm afternoons, beautiful sunlit color. And football! (but I'm not discussing the Bears!) And baseball!
So, I have been a lifelong Chicago Cubs fan - 5 years old (1969) @ Wrigley field with Ernie Banks (Mr. Cub!) and my parents let me have not one, but two of those chocolate malt ice cream cups; you know, the ones in the paper cups with the little wooden spoons. Heaven indeed.
Fast forward to 2003. Cubs finally in the playoffs. My parents (of choco malt fame and so much more) had both died in March 2003, and I moved to Pendleton, OR in April 2003, and was in a fog most of the time. We watch the cubs in October 2003 collapse under that damn Bartman catch (I probably would have done the same; don't blame him). Heartbroken.
2016 - is this the year?? Cubs the favorite to win the 2016 world series
Your parents are so cute! And yes, let's not talk about the Bears... Go Cubs!! Growing up on the south side that's a dangerous exclamation ;)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Patty, I have never seen this photo of your Mom and Dad -- they just look so happy together -- not a care in the world!! It's great to see them like that! Love you and happy to hear you're hanging in there!! Karen (and Greg)
ReplyDeleteI have a great memory of when you and I (and Ken and Anne?) went to a Cub game one spring - on the day the Indy or Daytona 500 was being run? Seats way up high and lots of fun. Ken and I are headed to Wrigley for a game on the 21st and a tour of the field, clubhouse, pressbox, and dugout on the 22nd. One day when you are past all of this, head east and we can catch a game!
ReplyDeleteI love your parents. And I love Wrigley Field.
