Spent all day Friday at Dana Farber in Boston for my wifes first chemo treatment. Not a fun day. After getting her home and getting her settled, took the edge off with my other sweetheart at the Father/Daughter Dance. Laying low today taking care of the wife, getting ready for snow. Maybe sled with kids.

Preparing snow removal bills to deliver today... Usually get a good response with another storm looming. Have to attempt to get some snow banks moved back further, cut access paths to oil tank fills, and maybe even cut a path to the back side of my own house so I can address developing ice dams. Vehicle and equipment repairs completed, so just change oil in one blower, again.... Then deal with better half's car, which arrived home last night from her Bloomfield CT office. On a flatbed.....

Keep her active and distracted, make her smile and even laugh. My thoughts are with you. Be thankful for this healing process and the incredible doctors in Boston which are nothing but a gift.

Thank you!... I'm blessed to have her. She is the most upbeat person you'll ever meet. Besides a few tears rolling down her cheeks as the medicine went in, she quickly smiled and said,"Let's beat this s@*#!!" She unfortunately was given the diagnosis that she will lose her breast, but we are blessed to have one of the best Dr.'s and breast surgeons in the country on her side. We will beat this.
It gives new perspective to life, and as she laid in the bed and rested her eyes as the last of the chemo went in, I watched the sun set out the window, and realized that another day was passing. It makes you appreciate what you have, and what's most important.
I urge everyone to be kind to one another. Hug your kids, and wife/husband everyday. Call your parents and tell them you love them. We're only here for a short while, so keep what's important to you as close as you can. Thanks again!

Yup, it's about right where it should be at this point. I'll be back on the weights by March.
