indigo_rose99It is amazing to me how many hours talking to G, his friends, our family, and dealing with paperwork can consume. I think I worked a 10 hour day yesterday... And will only get paid for a a little over 6.
But I'm sleeping better at home. And I'm happy to be able to catch up on housework as I talk to relatives. It is always surprising how much better my house looks after I have to wander it with a phone to my ear! Laundry and partially unpacked luggage disappear, dishes get put away...
G starts chemo today in NM. I'm happy that he doesn't have to do the painful logistics of a multi-state trip in his condition. But I am guessing he feels more disappointed about the lack of hope. He is sending me articles about the treatment that starts today. It does sound interesting. Genetically tailored, combining drugs... Interesting.

This may be the kick that gets T and I started on our new house. T looked at the family heirlooms that G and I were discussing keeping in the family (= me taking them) and said, "We need to build the new house. Now." Not that there are that many, but our current house is already filled with furniture and art. Where are we going to put the new stuff?
Plus the new place could have a space for my artwork. My friend S keeps staring at my paintings sitting on the floor in our living room and says "I hung mine! And yours are better!" She is too kind. But I do think I've reached a point that I wouldn't mind hanging some of them.

I have nothing useful to add. But I'm glad things are going better for y'all.
