Diagnosis: Leukemia; December 10, 1987

I woke up before nine o’clock. I think I’m coming down with a cold. I took some medicine, I had a shower and got dressed.

Alex woke up at ten thirty. He looked really tired, it worried me. I thought maybe his blood count was down. By lunchtime though Alex was back to normal.

In the morning I made shortbread. Then I had lunch. After lunch I vacuumed the house.

At three thirty we went to the bank. Then we went to McDonald's, as we were leaving McDonald’s I dropped Alex’s hot chocolate. Alex made such a big deal out of it. I told him we had to go home so I could change my pants since I had chocolate down the front of them. Alex had a fit, he said I don’t want to go home I want to go to the mall. If I’m going to the mall with a brown stain down my pants!

When we got home Alex had a temper tantrum. He didn’t listen to me, I told him we were going to the mall after I got changed.

We went to the mall. I was able to get a pair of boots and they’re the last pair in my size!

We came home at seven thirty. Alex played while I watch TV. At nine o’clock I got Alex ready for bed. Before I got him ready I went to tape a show for Charlie on the VCR but it ate two tapes. I had put the one tape on the chest of drawers. I told Alex not to touch it. So of course he touched it. I tapped his hand and told him not to touch it. This made him really mad and he started to hit me, he also was swearing at me. I told him to wash his hands and go to bed.

Alex said he was sorry when he got into bed but he wouldn’t look at me.

It sure is frustrating having a fight with him. It sure ruins the night.

I watched TV and wrote in the journal. I’m going to go to bed soon, it’s eleven o’clock now.
