Daily routine

Life has settled into a strange routine. Strange because it is far from normal but not bad. Radiation schedules are long and rather relentless, but they focus your energy by simplifying your schedule. Everyday I wake up, get Max to school, come home and work on the house and then we go to radiation. We greet the other patients there, say hi to all the techs and Michie gets treated. As we pull out of the garage we say bye to the guy at the booth who always knows we want a receipt. We go back and get Max from school. Every other day I go and water the grass at the old house. Every week we take out the garbage. Every night Michie (mostly) makes us dinner and we eat in our new dining room. I love that things are simple for just a few weeks in my life. No work. No moving. Time to surf the internet and relax for a few moments here and there.

Soon enough it will all change again. Michie will finish her radiation next week (YEAH!) and then I go back to work as a new Lieutenant. Life will bring change back into my routine before I know it, but for today I am enjoying the calm within the storms of the last few months.

Great post. It is slightly strange how everything - including trips to the hospital becomes routine.

I just filled out my ballot - it felt great to vote!
