This morning I got up at 5:45 a.M. to make eggs and bacon for Deidre so that she would receive food before going to early basketball practice. Today is report card day and I hope she is doing very well in her first semester-seemingly so. Last night I looked after my grandchildren in their apartment downstairs while David and Cora went out for awhile- an easy job as all three were sleeping. My lawyer continues to work on my insurance claim and she is doing very well as far as I can see. I got a catch-up cheque for the children's portion of CPP DISABILITY. I am feeling much the same. I see my nurse next week on Wednesday morning. I will ask for copies of my recent blood tests. Four more months of treatment- and then I will hear the results. My 61st birthday came and went-did not really celebrate. David gave me a gift the following day. Kira made me some pictures. I gave myself a new pair of pyjamas. Lyn is sending me money to purchase some painting supplies. Oh, yes I received a wonderful birthday card from my sister-in law-Emily who is Don Settee's sister. I called her and we had a very neat conversation. Don and I had been married for five years in the middle seventies. Don's family has always been very good to me through the years. The birthday card arrived just on one of those days when I needed a positve note. Thank you.
