Life with Leukemia (And Some Reading) - May 30

 
It's Sunday Post time!  This is hosted by the awesome Caffeinated Book Reviewer and gives us all a chance to recap our week.

This was a long week.  Will had a spinal tap on Wednesday which he did great with and we were able to figure out what had happened the last time that had given him a rough wake up and correct it.  Then after that it was chemo and finally we collapsed at home at about 4 in the afternoon after a pretty grueling day.  On top of that it's steroid week which keeps him from getting really solid sleep so he just feels worn out.  Luckily, it's only for 5 days but we are counting down!  

It's hard to believe this is the last weekend in May.  This is the end of my birthday month which I have been happily celebrating with presents for me.  The last batch will be arriving this week and I'm looking forward to it. My waffle maker was in a bit of a snit and died on me so I replaced it with an R2D2 waffle maker from shopDisney and we will be having Star Wars waffles very soon.  Will has even agreed to try them and he's not a fan of waffles.  Other then lots of online shopping not much has been going on here.

Currently:


Reading:  Murphy's Slaw by Elizabeth Logan and Pilgrim's Rest by Patricia Wentworth

Listening:  The Sign of Four by Arthur Conan Doyle

Watching:  A lot of the YouTube channel This Gathered Nest because I like watching family life on a small farm without actually having to deal with livestock.  Also, I'm getting my true crime fix with Kendall Rae's YouTube channel.  

Have a great week and happy reading!

  2. Will is a warrior for sure, and yourself as well. I don't have a waffle maker but one day I just might get one. I like waffles. Hope this week will be easier.

  5. I love waffles!! My husband too. I can just imagine what he would say about R2D2 or any Star Wars waffles.

    I'm glad your week is over. Heck, I'm glad my week is over. Been a rough one!

    Also glad you got to spoil yourself with some Birthday treats. You need to do that!

    Take care of yourself and Will this week and I hope there will be lots of time for reading.

  10. Wishing you all a good week. My thoughts are with Will and you as you get through steroid week.
    The waffle maker sounds fun!

  11. I hope that Will is handling steroid week well this time around. I am wondering why I bought a boring waffle maker when mine needed to be replaced recently when I could have had a Star Wars one!
