The Day From Hell Condo
Another late condo. I was gone most of the day, in my rental car. Cinco was kind enough to give me a permission slip to go. I had lunch with the friend that hosts our wine tasting group every year for Passport weekend, then delivered candy to our regular vet in Sac. After that I visited my cousin's BBQ place, where they were cleaning up after a very busy morning. They got a call to cater lunch for a film crew at Beale AF base - Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg are there making a movie about Gary Powers and the U2 incident! Quite a feather in their cap. I left candy and came away with a rack of ribs, fresh off the grill! Mmmm! Dinner was easy - made herb roasted potatoes, tossed a salad and heated those ribs. Yum!
So Minka seems to be none the worse for her chemo yesterday - she ate her breakfast and her dinner with just a little prompting. Sasha was only slightly less eager, and Harvey hoovered his food at both meals! I think it's a little karmic payback for my crappy day yesterday. The dealership called and said a couple of "coolant elbows" had "popped" off - they connect the intake to the alternator to keep it cool. At least, that's as much as I understood. The car should be ready sometime tomorrow.
Thanks to all who visited us last night.
Ella, I made six trays (cookie sheets) each of white almond bark, white cashew bark, milk chocolate almond bark, milk chocolate cashew bark, dark chocolate almond bark and dark chocolate cashew bark (each batch fills two trays, so three batches of each). I made two batches (two large cookie sheets each) of English toffee, three batches of Rocky Road, 112 milk chocolate turtles, 140 dark chocolate turtles, about 130 bourbon balls and two batches of peppermint bark (about 7 trays).
Elise, they have to check her kidneys and make sure they are strong enough to withstand the next round, as well as doing blood work, etc, to make sure her bone marrow has not been damaged. The plan is to proceed with another round after a two week break, if all tests indicate it is safe to do so. For her fourth round this coming week, they will recheck her kidney values, CBC and urine specific gravity to determine whether she can handle doxorubicin or if they need to give her another round of cyclophosphamide instead.
Amy, I'm sorry you couldn't see the cards. Here are two of the photos I used:
I'll have to put the other two in a separate post, since two is the limit.
Now I have to get to work digging out the kitchen, and then write our Christmas letter, print the cards, etc. Tomorrow will be organize and pack day. I'm definitely going to need a vacation after all this!
