People often say to me, "I'm afraid to call you (or come by), I don't want to wake you up if you're sleeping", or something similar to that. Friends, bother me all you want. When I do take a nap, I silence my phone.
I'm not working right now. Making time commitments to an employer didn't seem possible when I didn't know how the chemo and it's side effects would affect me. I don't see this changing until at least January, after I get through my 9 treatments and have my next scan.
Some days I'm home all day, sometimes I have errands to run. Very rarely do I have something on my schedule that isn't flexible. So, please bother me.
The people in my world are so amazing, and would do just about anything to help us. People often ask if there's anything we need, and I often can't think of what to tell you! I mean, the floors always need vacuuming and the kitchen counters can always be wiped down. Laundry is never-ending, but the kids do their own, so there's not a lot.
There are a couple other things I did think of:
- I would like to try to get to the temple every week during the day. I can do this alone, but it would be better to have someone to go with! If you're a regular, I'd love to tag along.
- iTunes cards in small amounts would be awesome! I'm kind of tired of the music I have, and would love to download more uplifting, soul calming music. Gentri, Hilary Weeks, David Tolk, John Schmidt, Steven Sharp Nelson, The (Canadian) Tenors, etc. etc. I want to compile a playlist of relaxing, put me to sleep music. I spend many nights laying awake, mind racing, not sleeping.
We're so grateful for the love, tender mercies, and kindness that has been shown to us the last few weeks! Many, many small gestures by so many people have made a huge difference in our lives. Thank you!
