Wednesday August 31

So today was like any other day I did not want to get up but I did and  got ready for work.  Patience had a rough night with the cat sleeping with us,poor Patience coughed most of the night.  I got up at four am and put the cat out of the room and gave patience so water to drink. 

Went over and had coffee at Mom and Daddy's then headed on in to try to get a jump start.  When ever I am the most energetic it seems like I get the least done.  Got to work and had one distraction after another.  Before I knew it, it was time to mark breakfast.  The day flys from then on.  When I was getting ready to leave I went into the work room and opened the ice box to get the dozen tamales out that I had bought for Janet's dinner, well someone else had gotten into them and there were only 6 in the bag! Luckily I had some at home that I had ordered for the house for this weekend so I called Misti to tell her I was en route to pick up six of them and needed her to meet me by the road so I could go on.  I know 6 would have been plenty but I was not for sure how many folks would be there when I got to Janet's so I wanted to have more than enough an also this way she could have some for lunch tomorrow if she wanted.  I left there about five pm then took Janet some dinner, it was kind of sad being there today and her telling me she found out yesterday she would be out of work indefinitely, so she asked me to bring some of her personal belongings to her so when they hire someone to replace her the stuff will be out of the way. I then came home after visiting for a bit and then we went to Boom a Rangs for our dinner.  It was good, nothing like a home style burger. The girls working there are so very friendly we had a great time, when we got ready to leave they asked if the kids could have a balloon so when we said yes, they blew up two and brought them out then tied them on the kids wrist so they would not blow away.

We then went to Wal Mart to do a little birthday shopping, Friday is Patience's birthday and we will have her party on the 10th, so I wanted to get some things to take to Pryor this Friday for her to open.  Normally there is not a great deal of things going on at any one time.  I have been invited to 3 gatherings on the 10th, Patience's Birthday, A co workers sons birthday and a former students child's baptism ( the one I buy my tamales from).

When we got home we got out of the durango and I had ahold of both balloons at this time cause we had to remove them to go into Wal-Mart and did not retie them.  Well Patience wanted to hold her own and I told her be careful if it gets away we wont be able to catch it, she promised she would, just as she got to the porch it escaped and she was devastated but there was nothing we could do.  She kept saying thru her tears" I wish we had a car that could fly" and I kept saying" I wish you had let me bring it in. " After a few times when I said" I wish you had let me carry it" she said " I do too."

Well it is off to bed tomorrow is going to be a long day, besides work I will drive to Norman and back, hoping the Dr has some good advice for the pain and the mouth sores. Maybe she will be ready to take me off the chemo pills and try something else.  I will let you know what I learn.
