Diagnosis: Leukemia; May 25, 1989

I woke up at eight thirty. I did my blood test, had breakfast, gave Kelly his medicine then I had a shower.

Alex was still asleep, he woke up at nine thirty. I made Alex his breakfast then I did the dishes and swept the kitchen floor.

I wrote in the journal until lunch time. I took Alex to his class and came home. I did my blood test and then It was time to get Alex.

At least my car is running a lot better now. It should after all the money we put into it. Charlie had a used alternator put in last Saturday. Then on Tuesday he took it for a tune up. The mechanic phoned to tell Charlie that the water pump was leaking and the distributor plate had to be replaced Charlie told him to go ahead with the tune up and fix the hand brake. The mechanic told him the car wouldn’t run properly if the distributor plate wasn’t repaired. Charlie said okay fix the distributor plate but leave the pump. The pump would cost $200.

When Alex and I came home he phoned Kurt and Patrick but both weren’t home. Charlie had told him Kurt had phoned but he was in school. So it thought it was Patrick but he was playing with someone else.

I wrote in the journal this afternoon while Alex watched cartoons on tv.

Kurt phoned at four thirty to ask Alex to play. Alex asked him to come over to his house but Kurt wanted Alex to come to his house. They argued about it for awhile then Alex told him to come to his house or he didn’t want to play. Kurt said okay bye. Alex was pretty mad, he said he had been there on Tuesday so it was Kurt’s turn to come over.

I started to cook dinner, we ate at five thirty. After dinner we watched tv and exercised. Then we put away Alex’s toys and Alex got into his pajamas. We watched Cosby and Alex went to bed.

I watched tv and wrote in the journal. I went to bed at eleven o’clock.
