Diagnosis: Leukemia; July 22, 1988

I woke up at eight thirty, the repairman is suppose to phone between eight thirty and nine o’clock, so I figured I had better get up in case he comes shortly afterwards. He did phone and said he would like to come in the mooring which suited me just fine. I told him the additional problems we were having with the fridge. The fridge last night around ten o’clock became quite warm and the top freezer is warm as well. The divider between the top fridge and the bottom fridge is hot to touch. Charlie unscrewed the light bulbs as they were so hot.

Alex and I had breakfast then we got dressed. I tided up the house, did the dishes and put Alex’s toys away.

The repairman came at ten forty five and as soon as he looked at the fridge he knew what was wrong with it. He said the fan has gone which controlled the top freezer and the fridge. All the cold air was on the bottom freezer and just stays there. He came back from the van with the new part and said the only thing is that the fan costs $70. As far as I’m concerned there’s not much we can do about it, most parts are pretty expensive theses days. By the time he was finished it costs up $129.80, that was including labour. He was only here for half an hour but he charges for the whole hour. Must be nice!

About ten minutes later Aaron phoned to see if the fridge was working okay, he wanted to put Brent’s cake in the fridge. I had told Shirley yesterday that I didn’t know if the fridge would be okay as it wasn’t working properly. I told Aaron that it had been repaired and that it seemed okay. He then told me he would be over between six thirty and seven o’clock.

We had lunch and we were getting ready to go out when Charlie phoned to find out what had happened. He said it was a good thing it happened before he left. I was glad too!

Alex was feeling so down, I thought I would rent him a movie, we went to Save-On-Foods and got the movie as well as a few other items.

Alex has been very hard to handle today, he keeps saying what happens if I do this or if I was to do that. It really seems like he’s trying to make me mad. I felt very tired by four o’clock.

Charlie had to go to the travel agent to pay and pick up his airline ticket. I figure he would be really late but he came home around five o’clock. We had leftover pizza form last night.

Charlie wanted to go out but we had to wait for Aaron to come with the cake. He didn’t arrive until after seven o’clock, he didn’t want Alex to see it he was afraid he would tell Brent. I told Alex to go to his room which made him really mad and he started to scream. He really wanted to see the cake, and I know he wouldn’t tell Brent what it was. Their friend did the cake and he sure did a great job. It was a Dinosaur cake and it had eyeballs on it that seemed to be moving.

After Aaron left we went to the mall, Charlie was looking for some stuff for when he goes away. We didn’t stay very long as Alex was being a brat. He would try and hid or be really mouthy.

We came home around nine o’clock. Alex played for awhile then I got him ready for bed. I watched TV and went to bed at eleven o’clock.
