It's Saturday, so life is quiet on the medical front.

But I did have the opportunity to see 4 of my grandchildren today and that was certainly a treat. I had to go out to see 2 of them and it emphasizes how unprepared I am winter. Since I stay in most of the time, I have not had the opportunity to adjust to the cold winter weather and every time I go out it seems so cold - even if the temperature is around 30 degrees! Usually by this time in the winter, my body has adjusted to the cold weather and I have no problem with it - but not this year! I suppose that I could blame it on the chemotherapy - but I don't feel that way about it. This year, this gives me another reason to hate January and I hear that it's going to get even colder this coming weekend. Spring can not come soon enough!

As my father used to say, "Many are cold, but few are frozen!"
