So, you would think a recently retired guy would be happy-go-lucky Mr. Carefree, but that’s hardly been the case recently. True, I did have lunch with good friends on Monday, spent some time taking pictures, and otherwise had a very good time.

But, take yesterday, for example. My day started at 7:30 AM, bummming a ride from dear spouse to Palo Alto Transit Center where I caught the 8:05 ‘baby bullet’ express train to San Francisco (it takes 37 minutes – much faster than you can drive) and then a cab to UCSF’s Osher Center for a physical rehab session, followed by a chemo infusion at UCSF’s Mount Zion Cancer Center (less than a block away).

We came home on Caltrain’s 12:07 local (at a bit over an hour, rather slower than the morning express) cabbed it to the house, and got going moving the recycling (4 small, and 2 large bins) out to the curb. We sorted the mail, moved the laundry along (but forgot to start the dryer – d’oh!), folded the towels and put them in the bathrooms and started the cleaning rags in the washer.

At that point, chemo fatigue plus the day’s efforts left me completely exhausted, so we trundled off for a nap, but not before we got dinner going – a slow cooker lamb stew with root vegetables that we’d be sharing with cousins Kelly and Karen who were coming down from Potter Valley for the evening. Looking forward to a bit less hectic day today…
