It was a beautiful day today and I had a great long weekend without treatment. The weather was extraordinary for early March with lots of sun and quite warm. Cherie and I had a great walk on Sunday and I was able to work in an errand as a part of it. This enabled me to connect my son, Patrick, to the internet. After a frustrating and ultimately unsuccessful foray into wireless connecting I hard wired his computer to the router in using problem solving skills that give me so much pleasure.
Last night I watched some Academy Awards, but not much I confess. I haven’t seen enough of the movies and the show of itself was deadly. For the record I don’t get all the hype about The Hurt Locker. I saw it. It was a good movie. It was very American and in my view not a powerful antiwar movie; too much mystique around the hero/antihero. The Academy loves a David vs Goliath contest and when younger ex-wife beats out older ex-husband for the big prizes I guess that’s good. I should have seen more of the other contenders.
I was happy to accept an offer for a 12:30 appointment rather than the one originally scheduled for 5:20. Parking up the hill at CNIB and walking down to Sunnybrook in the sunshine worked to perfection. Although the sign said 40 minutes delay I went in on time and although I was worried about my gas quotient the treatment proceeded routinely. Parking was $3.75 instead of $9.00.
It is really quite remarkable how this stuff becomes just a part of your life. Without going into details I am very clear that the stressors in my life are much more complications at work and in family life. As long as the treatment unfolds well it is mainly an inconvenience. Of course if I have more problems with my gut that could all change.
Later in the day I walked down the hill to meet Cherie at her office and escort her back home. It was very pleasant and marked a return to more exercise after a period of relative inertness. We made an original pasta for supper of farfalle, mushroom, tuna, garlic and olive oil. I recommend it but I’m not sure about the impact on my gut. I’ll let you know tomorrow.
