Nothing of note.

I feel good that there's not to much to write about recently. Thanks to the economy taking a belly flop on the back of the common man, well, I don't have a job to moan about to you either. I feel kind of blessed in that regard because I have more time to spend with Marion during this initial stage of diagnosis and treatment. There's plenty of time to troll the various job boards for a job. I can send out my resume, and hear nothing, just like the day before. And, for now, I'm cool with that.

Marion has pain every once in a while, and we know it's due to the tumor she has, but there's just not much we can do until the 3rd when we go for another Dr. appointment. She has pain medication that frankly doesn't work all too well. At least it's better than nothing. It's weird though because as far as the pain, she can be doing nothing and all of the sudden buckle. It makes me sad...

But, overall, she's doing well. She hasn't bled of note since December 8th when she was at the hospital. We go out maybe once or twice a week. We went to Wal Mart yesterday and that was like a huge deal for her. It's just kind of sad to me that Wal Mart is a huge excursion for her and most people just take that kind of trip for granted. I reckon people take a lot about life for granted. People take the blue sky of a clear day or the singing of a robin or the meow of a cat for granted. Life is a splendid and wonderful thing filled with wonders all the time. If we sat back and just took it all in maybe our hearts would burst. You can see this sort of thing in the eyes of children when everyday is filled with a new discovery or a new smell or taste. To regain the innocence of a child would be a wondrous thing. I long for that feeling of exhilaration.

So, tomorrow will be like the day before and the cycle repeats over again like a sadistic Lady Gaga recording [;)]. I'm just happy Marion is doing well.
