Diagnosis: Leukemia; March 30, 1988

I woke up at nine o’clock. I still feel really tired. Alex didn’t wake me up, he was playing with Jay.

Blair said she wanted to go to Metrotown. Paul said he was going to stay home as he was tired of going to the mall. We left around eleven o’clock. I decided to take my own car as I thought Alex might get too tired. I didn’t want a screaming child in the mall!

Jay wanted to come with us. Blair and Holly went ahead and told us to meet them at the 6/49 counter.

We looked around at a few stores after we met them. Then we went for lunch. We shopped for awhile then Alex and I came home.

Alex was feeling pretty tired. He laid down on my bed.

At four o’clock we went to return the movie. I rented Dirty Dancing for tonight.

When we got back Blair, Holly and Jay had come back. They had bought quite a lot of stuff.

Everyone was happy I had rented Dirty Dancing. Blair and Paul said they had heard it was really good.

We went to Chuck E. Cheese for dinner. Jay was really pleased he had asked Paul to take him there. Paul wasn’t too pleased, he said do they take plastic. It seemed that he thought he was suppose to get free meals the whole time they’re here.

We had a good time at Chuck E. Cheese. The kids took Alex around so I had a chance to relax.

Blair talked quite a bit about Jays computer. About how Jay was paying for it and that he had bought a printer since they were down.

We got home around seven o’clock, I got Alex ready for bed. Paul informed me that Charlie wanted to watch the movie and he had to get up early you know! Like give me a break, I really don’t know what he thinks I am. He must think I’m a lousy wife, I’m going to worry about Charlie watching the movie when I’m the one who had to get Alex ready for bed every night.

Alex went to bed at eight o’clock then we watched the movie. It was really good, I really enjoyed it. Charlie fell asleep during the movie so I guess he didn’t enjoy it.

I went to bed around midnight.
