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.
