Diagnosis: Leukemia; September 10, 1988

I woke up at seven thirty and realized Alex needed to be changed. I let him sleep on my side. Alex said he didn’t like me sleeping with Pa, that it wasn’t fair. I told him that he should go back to sleep as we had a lot of things to do today. Alex never did go back to sleep, sure hope he’s not a grouch today!

We decided last night that we should leave after dinner tonight. It just seems like such a waste to pay for another night in a motel. So we packed up our stuff then we got ready to go. Alex had a fruit cup for breakfast then we left the motel.

We went to a small mall in the downtown area and had breakfast. Then we did some shopping. We also went to the tourist stores. Alex said he was getting tired so we went for a drive.

We had lunch at a restaurant that Allison recommended called the Dutch Bakery. It was crowded when we got there but we were able to get a table not long after we got there. After lunch we went for a drive around the waterfront, Alex finally fell asleep thank goodness. He sure was getting cranky.

I forgot that before lunch we had gone to another cottage called Anne Hathaway’s Cottage. Allison said they had been there and that we should go. It was alright but nothing in comparison to Fable Cottage.

After our drive we went back to the tourist area and looked at all the shops. Then it was time to go for dinner. It took us quite a long time to find the restaurant. Charlie wanted to go for Chinese food, he finally went into the mall and found a phone book to look it up. We got there and then unfortunately they put us in the smoking section which we didn’t realize until it was almost time to go. Alex said when someone lights a cigarette that’s dirty they shouldn’t be doing that in here go and tell them to put it out. We told Alex that you can’t say that put he was still mad.

We then drove to the ferry, Alex was glad that we were going home. I guess he misses his friends and all his toys, and probably most of all his bike! We made it onto the ferry, there sure were a lot of people getting onto the ferry. The parking lot seemed to be almost full. It was nice going across the water at that hour, we caught the seven o’clock ferry. It was just starting to get dark as we came in we could see the lights of the city.

When we were driving home we took the wrong turn off, which really annoyed me. We got home after nine probably nine thirty, or ten o’clock. I started to unpack right away, I don’t like to leave it until the next day.

Alex went to bed the same time we did which was eleven o’clock.
