Routine

I am nine days out from my last radiation and it still seems a bit unreal. One of the mornings last week I started to panic because it was 8:20 and I hadn't yet left for treatment. And at least twice I automatically began to drive my well-worn route to the Spielman Center. During treatment there was a woman along that route that I drove by nearly every morning. She would be walking her dog and talking away on her cell, but she always looked up and stared at me as I drove up her street. I wonder if she's noticed my absence. I wonder if she wonders why.

Had dinner out this evening with my brother, John, and his kids. It was a send-off for my niece DiAnna's boyfriend (Tyler), who leaves, I believe, on Monday for Fort Benning. My nephews, James and Andrew, were also there, making it a really, really nice evening.

My collage Pic o' the Day, is for my new grand-niece: Ellie Sophia, who was born on November 1. She's a beautiful little thing, just like Audrey, her big sister, and their mom, my niece Amy.
