This is the birthday of my goddaughter, whom I love dearly.  I dropped her a brief note by email; she answered it with a longer, loving note that made me very happy.

I went through some old papers and magazines and got rid of a lot of stuff.  There’s a lot more to go, but every bit I can discard now will help later.  I had a productive day at work, too, both at home and in the short time I was in the office.  The day was chilly but sunny and beautiful.

I’ve been exchanging more email– lots of news of classmates and neighborhood friends– with the classmate (from second grade on!) who made me the pillowcase, and that’s been great.  And I got a beautiful note of support, via postal mail, from neighbors in the building.

Tomorrow is infusion day.  I’m a little nervous about it because this week has been harder than during the first cycle, but we’ll see.  One step at a time.
