3/17/2025 (Debi Day)
Was a good weekend, even if GMU lost in the final A-10 conference match to VCU, (where my youngest sibling graduated from, even if they weren’t into sports). Went to all 3 games with family, and had a great family dinner on Saturday, including family that took the train down from Philly just for the afternoon/evening/night.
Debi day, for reference, is a lifelong (essentially) friend whose birthday happens to fall on St. Patrick’s day, so we’ve been celebrating in various ways together for something like 25 years. To include opening/occupying bars for the entire day, but that’s been a few years. We were younger then, heh.
My radiation/chemo was supposed to start tomorrow, (3/18), but apparently my insurance company decided that wasn’t how they wanted things to go, so it’s been pushed to Thursday, (3/20), with a giant question mark hanging above all of the related appointments that had to be pushed in response. I’m so glad I have multiple people that also are now hanging around under the question mark in question, because I can’t tell them with any certainty what’s going to happen next.
Speaking of the chemo, the nurse practitioner that told me about the delivery was very certain at the time that someone would have to be home to receive it. Friday, the 14th, I received multiple notifications that the package was out for delivery, by UPS, about 90 minutes before it was physically possible for that to be true, (unless it was shipping from a time zone somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean), and then I saw the guy deliver/drop the box at my front door about halfway through the GMU/GWU game. While we were at Capital One Arena in DC. Definitely not home. Oh well.
When we got home that night, I moved the box onto our coffee table, where it sat for the next ~24 hours. I wasn’t ready to face it quite yet. When I did eventually open it, it was just a lot of pill bottles, and it still is just that, it’s just in a desk drawer now to keep it away from the puppies. I’ll have to open them soon… maybe Thursday?
To be continued.
