Halloween is officially over...the candy is gone.
sigh
So are most of the leaves. My black locust is bare now and through it peeps the bright orange of a Maple that is fading more every day. This morning's rains and heavy winds have them blowing like so many Monarch butterflies across the yard and some even reaching my patio.
Most of the outside buttoned down now with the exception of a few Fall decorations that will be left out until after Thanksgiving.
Huge week for John and I. This is the midway of his chemo and radiation. Aside from some mild symptoms he has been tolerating everything really really well.
Only 3 weeks left.
Appetite is still good. No sickness from the chemo. No radiation rash. Exercising 3x a week and still riding his bike most days.
Rides vary from 5 to 11 miles now.
The falling leaves are now scattered on the bike path and have totally carpeted his (and the neighbors) yards.
Lisa is back home from surgery and rehab...and she and Tina & I are coordinating our November Sisters Day to encompass Tina's Birthday and have a Thanksgiving Pitch-in.
Looking forward to that!
Today is a huge Cinderella Day here...wash..launder..scrub...even me.
All in preparation for tomorrow's Football and Food.
The Colt's are playing at 1:00, I think.
Kansas plays at 8:20 (Titans) which should be an excellent game.
Putting soup beans on to soak tonight...and making cornbread and custard tomorrow.
Have a Wonderful Weekend!
Love,
Carla and the Sofi-Cat
Gadget...waiting for Game Time
Update:
I think the Colts Game was best described as unwatchable...because it was.
The Titans/Chiefs Game was amazing...anybody's game up to the last 2 minutes of OT...with Mahomes and team emerging victorious.
The rookie QB Willis was impressive and immediately formed a strong working relationship with Henry.
In short..well worth staying up to nearly midnight to watch these two teams do their thing!
Updated Update:
OMG...it is official...Irsay has fired Frank Reich.
It is too late for this season...but gives me hope for the next one.
Yeah...if anyone wants me I'll be over here doing the Happy Dance!
