Diagnosis: Leukemia; July 26, 1988

I woke up at six thirty to hear the phone ringing, it was Charlie’s father. He said where’s Charlie and I told him he should be in Singapore. He asked when he was arriving form Singapore and I told him I didn’t know. There was no way I was going to say what time as I was afraid that maybe the plane might be delayed.

I figured there was no point in going back to sleep and anyways I had a terrible time sleeping last night. I kept on hearing all theses noises and then I would go and investigate. I must have woken up three or four times in the middle of the night.

I made banana muffins for breakfast then Alex woke up he still isn’t feeling that great. He asked for a fruit cup but he didn’t eat it again. I had a shower and got dressed. I vacuumed the house, cleaned the kitchen and bathroom floors before my shower.

Marla and the kids arrived before noon. After lunch we went outside and the kids went into the pool. Alex wasn’t in the greatest of moods. He didn’t want to share at all, he would grab things away from Paxton if he wanted them. Alex was rude when he talked to me and I had to chase him around the backyard before I could get a hold of him. He seems to use a lot of bad words.

After the pool the kids went into the sandbox then it was time for them to go home. Alex watched TV but he fell asleep on the couch. I put him into his bed but he woke up and wanted to go back to the living room to watch the rest of his show.

We ate dinner at five o’clock, after dinner we went outside, Alex wanted to ride his bike and I swept out the garage.

We came in before six o’clock and Alex watched TV while I typed in the journal. I got Alex ready for bed at eight o’clock, he’s pretty tired he didn’t even want to go to sleep on the top bunk. He said he was too tired to go up top.

I finished typing in the journal, it’s now nine o’clock. I’m going to watch TV and catch up on my writing in the journal.
