My gosh, it's May Day and we haven't even danced around the May Pole yet! I know, I know....the pole thing again. Seems like a popular theme for many a "slow-news on the blog front" day, but today it's obviously more appropriate to go back to the Bin Laden theme! Amazing that the very same thing that took away takes away Ed's pain, may just take away the PRESIDENT'S pain........ well, at least his painfully low approval ratings. Good timing, along with the stroke of genius to get a court-order for the sister's brain to check the DNA match! Interesting world we live in.
We will now return to our local programming...........Ed and Tyler are at the movies tonight - that Five something movie of "Fast & Furious" phenom fame..... I decided to stay home and pursue a much more relaxing and satisfying pastime. I'm still deciding between rotating the wheels on the refrigerator or stubbing my toe on purpose, both of which are higher on my list of "things I like to do" than going to a movie strictly dedicated to crashing cars. Must be a chick thing.... Actually I'm planning to sit in the steam shower, leisurely floss my teeth with cavalier abandon and then fire up my Kindle. It's a madcap life I lead.
Went to a 40th birthday party last night and had great time being out and about again. Great musical entertainment - Aaron sang with "No Bueno" (name of the band), but they actually were bueno......very bueno in fact. It was really good to see so many friends and have a chance to catch up in person. We were home in bed by midnight, which is not exactly our normal "howlin' at the moon" mode, but maybe this is just practice for when we really do get old - something our kids keep telling us is bound to happen. (Lately the mirror seems to be agreeing with them!)
This morning Ed went down to the car show in Camarillo - his car was there - and then we spent the day with Tyler before he had to go to work for a few hours. It was such a peaceful and normal day - a wonderful contrast to the past couple of months. Truly enjoyed sitting in the kitchen with pancakes and OJ this morning.
We are expecting a call from UCLA tomorrow to arrange the chemo in the next day or two, and I'll keep you posted about the status of that. Ed is feeling much stronger for this round than for any of the previous chemotherapies, so we're optimistic for a smooth hospital stay and quiet post-chemo week of infection-free recovery. Keep your fingers and toes crossed for him and I'll keep you updated on his progress.
And now, not necessarily paying homage to the current world events, I'll go spend the next half an hour as a towel-head, enjoying the steam shower. ( I'm pretty sure it will be a more attractive choice of head wear than the "what on EARTH was she thinking" hat (and I use the term loosely) worn by Princess Beatrice at the wedding on Friday!) Google it for a laugh.... seriously! What could that possibly have been about??????? She clearly must have lost a bet ........
Good night and Happy May Day!
Glad you both had a wonderful weekend, and Liz, I hope you enjoyed your steam shower. I was thinking, maybe a pic of you with your towel wrapped around your head, in one of your famous bikinis and perhaps some heels, with an AK47 and some gun belts stapped across your chest, with a slogan that says "bin Laden and Lymphoma - justice will be done" - might make a nice poster and be a good touch for the wall in Ed's UCLA room. :))
