Measures of Hope | 13 December 2010

+1. I've not been paying attention to symptoms or lack thereof at all during this 2ww. I feel kind of like, 'been there, done that' and why worry myself about something I have no control over? I totally understand how we all obsess over symptoms. And I did it, believe me, in previous cycles. But it's kind of a good feeling to feel that I've moved beyond that. I'm not sure why. Maybe I've just been doing this too long, but I just feel more at ease with myself and this process, at least for the moment.

+2. Just recalling now a conversation with Mr.Right on the drive home from church yesterday about whether that particular church was too far away, especially thinking about a time in the future when our kids might possibly be involved in church activities and we might be running back and forth a bit. Mr.Right informed me as we pulled into the garage that it was exactly 18 minutes drive from church to home. Yes, I said 'kids.'

+3. New glass sliding door in the basement rec room and 3 new windows in the north-facing wall of the living room installed today! And just in time as those windows were basically nailed and caulked shut to keep them from falling down and the door's double-pane glass had totally failed.....and it's basically 25 degrees F out right now. Now, just 12+ windows and 3 french doors yet to replace (uh, which will take us, like, 10 years probably).
