Whatever....

Let's face it....a day which starts with your child yelling "I HATE YOU" as he leaves for school isn't likely going to be one of your best days. 

Yeah.

Then off to the Cancer Center for an infusion (Ernie hates it when I call it chemo).  So we get there and we sit and sit.....I know, I know.....they're busy.  Finally a nurse comes over and says Ernie needs blood work and we have to wait for the results before he can get his infusion.  Don't you think it might have been nice if someone had told us that AHEAD of time?  She told us that he needs to do that the day before his infusion every month.  Again, it might have been nice to know that AHEAD of time as I had thought I would just be gone from work an hour or two.  So we left for awhile and headed back later and got him all infused....

I know what you're thinking.  Ernie said the same thing.

Payback is a bitch.

Nah, I'm sure that wasn't it.  Although it would have been nice if, since nobody TOLD us about it, the need for bloodwork was at least on the appointment sheet that every other kind of labwork is on, huh?  Well, the nurse that I screamed at last time was the one that made these appointments so....whatever, as I tell the boys NOT to say, whatever.... 

So the day got dragged out way longer than I had thought.  Ernie's really tired.  He's sitting on the couch attempting to read the paper and dozing instead....something very unlike him.

I'm tired too.  Of course getting up at 4 a.m. doesn't really help things.  I'm one of those people that really needs sleep....

It's done for the month though and I'm glad.  Watching the other people getting chemo isn't um, a barrel of laughs.

I think I might throw the nice salmon I had thought about trying to cook in the freezer and maybe ordering out instead....and just kind of hang out with my guy.  We'd also thought of going out to Fries and Peanuts for dinner with ABS (Ann, Bob and Sophie) but we just weren't up for it. 

A good night to stay in....  The guys are outside riding bikes....although now I realize I don't think I had them do their homework....  You know what though?  I don't think I care right now.....they can do it later...

It was a hard day.  Not all bad.  But hard.
