Big Round Bales
Cattle in the Field in Back of Our House..
Up early to get ready to go to Jackson for Chemo. Joe got the car out for me and I loaded in the rest of the recycling. Took my juice and yogurt with me for a to-go breakfast. Judi and I met the shuttle at the Pinedale Clinic at 9 a.m. A really beautiful day for the ride, never tire of the scenery, the summer rivers, lots of wildlife. We all had a great time visiting all the way up and back. They are really working on that natural gas pipeline along the highway, lots more equipment, workers and much dirt and rocks moved. Reclaimation on the upper end is looking good and should have vegetation growing back by next summer.
It was just much like other days in the chemo department so this time I'm not going to write all the details. Very nice of Virginia to come in for a few minutes and check on me. The lunch was good - I had a patty melt and Judi had her favorite grilled turkey Ortega. Bob, who has been on the same schedule as me and rides the shuttle doesn't have to go back for a while now - I hope he feels good for some time to come. His cancer is not curable either.
We could clearly see where the New Fork Fire had burned, and in the morning many smokes were rising over a large area, but it was clear this afternoon. The rains must have done a good job putting it out. Al thinks it will smolder until the snow comes though.
I'm not even sure what time we got back to Pinedale, 4-ish, but I recycled and did the grocery shopping. Thought I'd only get a few necessary things, but went ahead and got the whole big list. Enjoyed the evening drive from Boulder to home and took time to get some photos. The ranches are in the midst of haying, looking like they are well more than half finished.
Joe unloaded the groceries and I put them away. Glad that chore is done for a while. I will go back on Thursday to get the pump taken off. Also Ward called and the TV repairmen are coming on Thursday. Perhaps the timing for that will work out so I can be here, maybe they will come early and I can go to Pinedale in the afternoon.
Not feeling too bad this time. The last session I got pretty sick while I was still in the chair so I was kind of dreading it this time, but am doing fine. Paige said it the chemo does build up over time, so it's not unusual to feel worse as time goes by. Anyway am having my usual first night insomnia, so decided to blog. I'll stick in a video and lay down and get cozy and hope to sleep.
Took my laptop along again today, but I didn't use it. The battery was low so Judi charged it up and did some things on it. She rearranged my blog addresses - now they are listed so the ones that have been updated most recently are always on top. Kind of neat because now you can see who has updated with something new and who hasn't for a while will be on the bottom. She also changed the blog listings to read the person's name instead of their blog address. It can be changed back if I don't like it that way. She also taught me how to play soduko, and at least I got the gist of it. That may be a big mistake - I've avoided it so far.
Thanks, Judi. And thanks so much for going along with me again today.
