A quiet Sunday evening

We had a very quiet Sunday. Mary started on the rough side but by late morning she was feeling fine so we joined Ingrid and MaryR for late breakfast, early lunch. Mary had a strawberry-banana yogurt smoothie and it went down nicely for her. Mary napped this afternoon while I delivered Ingrid's new six foot tall cat tree along with Ingrid to her place in Mountain View. Turns out she had locked herself out of her car as she joined us for lunch and fortunately, she was in the same parking lot as Mary R who then dropped her at our place. We had stopped at Williams Sonoma so Ingrid had to wait until we showed up. As for the cat tree, Ingrid bought it yesterday morning in Los Gatos on her way to work so I swung by and we stuffed it into Humette (our Honda Element) where it sat until this afternoon. We wrestled the tree up a flight of stairs, Ingrid found her spare keys, we noted the cat was now able to jump to the top of the book cases. Ingrid's afternoon project became securing her bookcases to the wall--which every Californian should do anyway for earthquake protection.

Saturday was also a quiet day. We are both just so looking forward to the end of the radiation therapy in 10 days. Given Mary is off the radiation and chemo for a month, we hope she gets back some strength, appetite and can drop the nausea medications. Mary has not lost any weight during these first four weeks of radiation which is great. She did lose weight during April, May and June but its been stable for the month of July. We are hoping that is a sign that she can recovery substantially during the month break after radiation.
