Morning ritual, redux

Cassie and I walked a half-mile again this morning, and, like yesterday, the left leg tired most quickly, and there is a little back soreness - but not bad. I am considering trying to walk to the train station this evening which would get me up to a mile today - a decent distance for […]

Linda and Alice’ big night

Linda and Alice did indeed make their way to the re-nion (excuse weird spelling - note post problem below) last night, and seemed to have had a great time. They sat up after returning from the big event, and twittered about classmates, many of whom Linda has known since grammar school.
I thought it interesting to […]

More steps

So Cassie and I walked just about a half a mile this Sunday morning, more than doubling yesterday’s distance. Woo hoo!
The really good news is that edema is down, and balance is back. I’m very weak, but my 56-year-old reflex against falling is back, and that makes a huge difference (vs. 2 weeks ago). But […]

Busy, fun day

Linda has a class party this weekend. I’m using ‘party’ here because if I use the proper, more descriptive word ‘re-nion’ (if I drop only one letter, the post works), I get a permissions error from Apache (probably actually something Wordpress is doing) when I post the entry. What up with that?
Anyway, Ms. Hubbard had […]

Chemo fog

It’s real, it would seem. Not just my fogged brain…

Long week finishes up in the garden

90 degrees almost, by the time I finished up a long week’s work efforts to the extent I could, took a walk (part of rehab therapy) and got into the garden for a little work (ditto). We put the pole beans in, got stakes ready for the tomato vines and watered a thirsty-looking bunch of […]

Very tired, but happy

Most folks wouldn’t see 3 days back at work as a big deal, but I’m a happy guy. I even managed to walk back to the train station today (don’t ask how long it took)! I did almost completely collapse once I got home from the train, thanks to work, the walk, no nap opportunity […]

Our paperless project revisited

So we’ve flagged a bit in our paperlesss project, especially scannning in every document that comes through the mail et al., OCRing it in Adobe Acrobat and storing it in YEP, the very nice PDF browser for Mac (though I did a little catch-up tonight). YEP has new features at rev. 1.6: and I’m thinking […]

An early date in the garden

Cassie and I spent about 20 minutes in the garden this mornig, drinking coffee and, I’m pleased to say, putting in 20-some lettuce plants. I usually doze for a half-hour after spouse Linda hits the road on her 4-mile jog, but it’s getting lighter in the morning, so today I got up with her.
By the […]

A yay kind of day

Have to admit I was pretty tired (we’re at peak fatigue/low red cell count after chemo) by the time I got off the 4:25 CalTrain in Menlo this evening, but it was great to be out of the house and back to work today (despite 45-minute AM Caltrain delays this morning). Almost my whole day […]
