Living in blimbo

I'm glad the week is over, Jody is still feeling the effects of the last treatment on Friday a week ago. If you don't already know, the chemo builds up in his body with each treatment. So as of now, he's pretty much full. He had his PET scan yesterday morning, and we'll get the results next Thursday. I'm taking the day off to go with him, if I'm not there I'll only get bits and pieces of the test results.

I'm a bit worried, if they tell him the cancer is still there, he may tell them he's not coming back. No more chemo and forget about the radiation he's done. He's very stubborn like that. Last night he said something about quiting treatment and I told him that was STUPID! In essence I was saying he was stupid, which I never say because he's far from being a stupid person, he's probably the smartest person I know and I'm constantly learning from him. But quiting treatment when you are half way through is just STUPID! We're not going to talk about it this week, at least I'm not. That way we won't have any negative vibes moving around.

I don't agree with the way Cancer treatment is done, it's not right how they make you sicker than you were when you found out you had the disease, and they should be trying harder than anything to find a more humane way to treat it. I would be the type person to try alternative treatments over conventional, I would be the person that says "cut it out and let's see what happens."

We'll just have a nice calm week, hoping for a good outcome along with hoping for a phone call for Jolea. She's registered with every crew agency out there, had a couple of interested emails and was supposed to get a call back yesterday from a Captain she had talked to earlier in the week. He'll call today... I know he will, he and the crew were spending a few days in Charleston... they'll be sobering up today and he'll call. She's had a nibble on a job in Thailand too.

While she waits on calls, she spends the day watching The Food Network or riding my bike (and playing the guitar). That means we get to have experimental food for dinner!!! Oh JOY! This week we had Fried Macaroni and Cheese! Seems like this was one of the foods at the State Fair one year. The State Fair of Texas always has a fried food, fried Twinkies, Fried Oreos, even Fried Coca Cola which was nothing more than donut holes with Coke syrup poured over them.... yuk. But Jolea's fried mac n' cheese, wasn't too bad. The only benefit to frying mac n' cheese would be if you didn't have utensils and had to eat it with your hands... it's like as giant fritter.


She made quiet a mess and had to wear rubber gloves to keep from having cheesy goo all the way up her arms. Not worth the mess in our opinion, Mac n' cheese, it ain't broke so don't fix it....

I don't know how much longer I can keep this blog up... we are having some major computer problems. For about two weeks now the far left side of the keyboard has been stuck. If I type an A I get AS, if I tab it locks the caps asnd aso on... asee thast? I didn't go basck asnd tsake the exzxztras lettersa out. What a pain! Jeff did some research and said it's common with Dell laptops and we'll have to send it in for repair. Gresat!@ I think we should before Jolea leaves town with her laptop... the Grand Poobah computer (desk top) has Chicken pox or the Ebola virus or something so contagious we don't go near it. I need to send it to the High School for them to decontaminate it.
We're addicted... why is it humans get so addicted to things so easily? First it was an apple, now it's a computer. I think there's a pun in there somewhere@!

But these are minimal worries... I'm sure there are many people that would trade places with us... life is good. I can always resort to sending huge emails (from school) and hour long phone calls again. By the way... do you know what living in blimbo is? It's a blurry limbo (in other words, a type-o that works out.)
