Diagnosis: Leukemia; August 11, 1988

I woke up at seven thirty, Alex said he wanted to have breakfast. I gave him his breakfast and I figured I might as well stay up. There isn’t much point in going back to sleep now even though I would like to.

Charlie got up around nine o’clock and we decided to go to the beach for lunch. Charlie first went to the bank and came back. We left at eleven o’clock, there weren’t very many people there yet. It wasn’t all that warm today.

We had a good time helping Alex build sand castles, Alex also made all sorts of cakes. He said he had chocolate cake and vanilla cake. We left at one o’clock much to Alex’s disgust but Charlie had to go to work today.

Charlie wasn’t too thrilled about going! Alex and I watched TV in the afternoon. We ate dinner at five o’clock.

At seven o’clock Kurt Andrews came to the door. He asked Alex if he could come out to play. Alex asked me and I told him he could go outside. Alex then told Kurt he could and Kurt said don’t forget to bring your remote control car. I thought to myself Kurt wants to play more with the car then he does with Alex. We went outside with the car. Kurt seemed to fight over using the car. Patrick from up the street came over as well at first he played with Alex quite a bit but he wanted to use the car as well. Patrick and Kurt fought over using the car. Alex didn’t want to use it at all he just wanted to ride his bike. Patrick got tired of waiting for the car so he left. Then I told Kurt it was time to put the car in the house. Kurt said where did Patrick go and I told him that he had left. Kurt said that he was going to go find him. I thought how rude that was of him to use the car all that time and he didn’t want to play with Alex. Nora had heard him say he was going and she told him to stay around here much to his disgust!

I told Alex it was time to go inside, Alex didn’t seemed too interested that he hadn’t played with Kurt. I was glad because I was afraid he was going to be upset.

Alex went to bed at eight o’clock. I watched TV and went to bed at eleven o’clock.

I forgot to mention that today we went to the library and we saw Maggie there. We had just got there and returned our books when I heard someone call my name. I turned around and saw someone coming towards me but I didn’t recognize her until she got closer. I thought to myself oh no now she’ll want to keep in touch which is exactly what she said! For some reason she wants to be close and as far as I’m concerned we having nothing in common. The last time when we got together at her place when she was still living with Rodney I felt she had gotten pretty weird. They had nude pictures of her all over the house. I mean they even had them in the dining room, could you imagine eating and looking at a nude picture of your hostess!

Maggie and I went to school together, but that was a long time ago and we have changed greatly. She was always pretty wild and I don’t think time has changed her in that aspect. She probably has gotten worse.

She asked me for my phone number and address so we could keep in touch and she then gave me her phone number and address.

Anyways that was it for today.
