A continuation of yesterday!

Everything's A-OK as they say. It feels funny eliminating a pill from my morning and evening cocktails - now down to 5 in the morning, 1 at 2:00, and 2 at bedtime. A far cry from the 30 something pills they were giving me when I was in the hospital last February.

My wife's birthday is Saturday, so we are having a little family get together on Sunday to celebrate the momentous occasion. I know at our age that we don't like to be reminded of such things but it's as much an opportunity for her mother to be able to participate in celebrating one more time - she is almost 92!

The get together has pre-empted my opportunity to begin painting the kitchen - my wife does not want it looking a mess with everyone coming on Sunday. I guess that I'll begin on Monday! I suppose that I could use a little time off but I really am itching to get going for two reasons. One - it gives me something to do and two - it looks so nice when the job is done.

Still no liquor, however, and we didn't press the doctor on the issue as I still have at least two more months of immuno-suppressants in front of me.

So...

tomorrow will be another day of rest...
