Diagnosis: Leukemia; August 2, 1987

I woke up at one o’clock and went to the bathroom. Alex woke me up before nine o’clock to go to the bathroom. He didn’t want to talk to anyone, he said he wanted to get dressed. I took him downstairs and got him dressed. Then we went upstairs and I got Alex his breakfast. Alex wouldn’t take his medicine, he said Charlie would have to give it to him. Charlie gave him his medicine. Blair made blueberry waffles for breakfast and I washed some of the dishes. It’s a lot of work when there’s seven of us to cook for. I find I’m more in the way, I just don’t know what to do.

By the time we finished breakfast it was almost noon. I wrote in the journal for awhile. Then at one o’clock we went to Sun Fest, it’s similar to Sea Festival but I think Sea Festival is better. There’s more entertainment and it’s a nicer beach.

We came home around three o’clock. Blair had stayed home to do the laundry, she didn’t miss much. Alex was quite irritable anyways which wasn’t much fun. He seems to be having mood swings from the medication.

I wrote in the journal for about an hour. Alex came and asked me to read him some stories.

We had dinner after six o’clock. I went to sit down and the cat was eating my dinner. Gross me out of what! I put her on the floor and told Blair. It sure was weird I didn’t think cats liked meat. I put my plate on the counter and got some more dinner. After we finished eating Paul asked if anyone wanted some more meat. The only meat left was the one the cat had been eating., we thought he was joking. He had already taken a piece off and eaten it. We all laughed over that, I didn’t think he would eat it!

I got Alex ready for bed and gave him his medicine. Alex was asleep around ten o’clock.

We watched TV and went to bed around midnight.
