Catching up yet again

I was reminded tonight that I haven't blogged in a while.  That usually means that not much has been going on.  This last chemo wasn't too bad, though my counts were still descending.  I had another transfusion of two units last Monday and I'm starting to feel peppier.  I've had my mammogram--negative as i expected, saw my cardiologist--everything good there  It's hard to remember, when I have this big cancer thing going on, that I have other parts of my body that are in great shape.  The cardiologist was very good news, since congestive heart failure can be a side effect of the Doxil I'm on.
The living room TV spent a week in the TV hospital and came home today good as ever and only $165.  I don't think I could have gotten a new TV for that, so I'm happy.  I never thought I'd get tired of watching TV in the bedroom, but I did.  It's nice to have it there, but I like my Queen Anne chair.
I can't remember if I've talked about Charles.  I think I have.  Charles was the security guard at my therapist's office.  Charles is one of those people who make your life better by being in it.  Charles would say "Good morning, Beautiful," and I would feel beautiful.  I'm not beautiful, but I felt beautiful.  Charles was an excellent hugger.  I got a hug on my way in and on my way out.  When I got to my appointment two weeks ago--no Charles.  His place was filled by some other man.  I pointed out the obvious, that he wasn't Charles.  Charles was moved to another building.  My heart broke.  Wherever you are and whatever you are doing now, Charles, I miss you and will always love you.  I still get to see my therapist, and that is a very good thing, but Charles was a blessing.
I think that catches things up.  We had Eastern Star tonight and elected four new members.  I'm very excited.  The first time I was Worthy Matron, we had four initiations--I don't want to make that record--meeting once a month as we do now, we don't have time.
I think I have NOTHING to do tomorrow.  Saturday is a wedding.  I have to keep reminding myself.  I'm looking forward to it, even though I've known the bride all her life--and she's old enough to get married!  I love weddings--the ceremony itself.  Receptions are OK, but I love weddings.
That's it for now.
xxooxx
