It's been a busy week, especially for an "on" week where I have chemo. That's good, and I am very happy to be feeling well enough to be busy again. Sitting on the couch napping and watching movies was never something that I could tolerate for very long.
One of my projects has been to move into my little room. The work of a long and hard summer is coming to fruition now and I am happy to enjoy it. My beloved books are mostly on shelves now and available to me. I feel like a kid at a fairy-tale school reunion, running from old friend to old friend shaking hands and renewing acquaintances. Here's a photo of one corner of the room, showing the big picture windows and the high book shelf. The long white table is there for construction only, as are all the boxes of junk that have not yet been unpacked.
Yesterday we had an outing into town. We splurged and went to Romano's Macaroni Grill, a fancy family Italian restaurant chain. What's more, I had one small glass of red wine! Woo hoo! Probably bad for my ailing, failing liver, but what the heck, they say it is therapeutic to have a little red wine and it's been months for me. Then Pam and I went to see the new James Bond movie. He is certainly not my father's Bond any more, but I kind of like the new guy. He is full of grit and is all about the action, with less hokey humor. It's like they took all of the Austin Powers out and replaced it with Jason Bourne.

Today, and for the next two days, I'll be taking a class in Confined Space Entry and Rescue from ERS. My friend and rescue squad team-mate Shane is teaching it. He's a master of his subject so it's a great course. It feels really good to be back into something industrial, even if I'm not back on the job quite yet.
That's about it. Consider "no news is good news" again for the next few days while I am too busy with real life to keep up this blog. Thanks for listening.
