Diagnosis: Leukemia; October 8, 1988

I woke up at nine o’clock. Charlie went and had a shower, the delivery guys are coming today for the bedroom furniture. I had my shower after he was finished and while I was in the shower I heard the doorbell ring and guess who?! I asked Charlie to get my clothes, Charlie had a fit and told me to stay in the bathroom until the guys were gone. They weren’t in the house yet so I went and got my clothes and got dressed. Charlie was muttering away as to why I hadn’t gotten my clothes before I got into the bathroom.

All the furniture came in boxes and the delivery guys don’t open them for you. We unpacked the boxes once they had left. Before we got it set up Mom and Dad came over, Mom said that Dad wanted to see the new furniture. He had quite the time getting up the stairs. I said it sure if good that you don’t have that many stairs. Dad said yes I’m sure glad!

They said they really like the new furniture, they didn’t stay long Dad was feeling tired.

Alex had a nap in the afternoon while we got the furniture set up. Charlie couldn’t get the mirror on without adjusting it, so he phoned the store and they said they would send someone out on Tuesday. There isn’t any lights with the night deck, the guy will bring that when he comes to fix the mirror.

Alex woke up around three o’clock, he wanted something to eat. I got him a snack and did some work around the house.

We left at five o’clock to go to dinner, we went to a Won Ton House on Kingsway. After dinner we got a newspaper for Mom and Dad and took it to them. We played Trivial Pursuit, which was a lot of fun, it was amazing to think that I actually got some of the questions right! Alex was feeling tired and kept interrupting us, I had brought a tape for him to watch but I think he had seen it too much. Alex had also brought toys but he wasn’t interested in playing. We went home at ten o’clock. I got Alex ready for bed when we got home and Charlie read him a story. I watched TV and went to bed at midnight.
