The lag between updates… well, basically a lot of things going on:
- Renee finished her last chemotherapy session and followed it up with having her port removed. A lot of happiness tied up in getting past what could be seen as the worst of our cancer adventure, but a good deal of pain and struggle related to finishing up this phase of it.
- Sick children - lots of high fevers and midnight vigils
- My mom is having some health problems they can’t quite diagnose and it’s been going chronic for about a month here. Couple hospital stays involved in it too.
- We had a big ugly episode at our church with some people that are not our friends and found it more sensible for us in the long term to move on somewhere else. We haven’t landed anywhere yet, but some promising prospects.
- Emma started taking a dance class and it’s been very much the family thing to see her off into her first “big girl” thing.
- I took on 6 & 7 year old soccer coaching this season, so a bit of work getting all that up to speed. On the plus side, I understand we’re supposed to get certified this time, so I’ll have a license to practice recreational sport coaching before its over
- With all this junk going on, I wanted a bit of goof off time, so I put the hours into finishing Ninja Gaiden on my Xbox. I bought it a couple of months ago and got stuck about halfway through, so I put the time into finishing it.
So basically I have been alternating my time between caregiving and lopping heads off. I am such a Renaissance Man…
