The “C” Word – Day 48 Filling the day

Anxiety filled the morning air.  As the day approaches it will try to fill the air more and more each day.  Part of the cause for it today stemmed from the fact that we had to go do pre-registration and final tests at the hospital.  That took up a couple of hours of our morning.
After that, we went to take a short trip to Ardenwood Farm in Newark. It is a historical site and is still a working farm with fields of growing food and flowers. George had never been there and I think the last time I went was when my parents were in town and the kids were in elementary school.  I have a picture from that day.  Unfortunately, because of multiple classes of school children there today, we were not able to get into the farm house which George would absolutely love.  But we slowly wandered around the park looking at the various displays and at the animals.  It was a lovely day to be out of doors. 
On the way home we stopped for lunch and then to visit a couple of friends.  This weekend we will spend quite a lot of time hooking up with friends and neighbors both in person and via the phone.  It is good for us to be surrounded by them at this point in time.

One thing we have learned – anxiety and stress can be quite tiresome.  George is taking a much needed nap again this afternoon.  While he does that I am doing a little cleaning, a little catching up on some TV programs, and a little time just relaxing.  Filling up my time as best that I can.  Staying busy… keeping minds occupied with things other than cancer if we can.
