Diagnosis: Leukemia; July 31, 1989

I woke up at eight o’clock. I had my breakfast then I had a shower. Alex woke up after I had come out of the shower. I was hoping he would sleep longer. He needs to get more sleep, he’s being playing so much with Tina and Beau.

We left the house at eleven o’clock. First we went to Canada Trust, there sure was a long line. Then we went to a Toyota dealer to buy brake fluid. The light on the Camry for the brake was coming on. Finally we went to West Edmonton mall.

We told Alex we would be just looking at the stores that we wouldn’t be going on any rides. We had lunch first then we went to look for the store that is selling Batman figures. Luckily we found it almost right away. Alex bought Batman, Robin, the Joker and the Penguin.

Throughout the afternoon Alex bought a turtle’s sweatshirt and turtle socks. I bought a rechargeable shaver from London Drugs it might not be any cheaper but there isn’t any sales tax.

We decided to have dinner at five o’clock. First of all Charlie said he wanted to go for fast food, so we walked down to Gourmet World. When we got there Charlie said he wanted to go eat at Bourbon Street instead. Alex said he wasn’t walking all the way back there. Charlie said he would carry him there. If it isn’t bad enough we have to walk all the way there, Charlie has us walk all around the Ice Palace before he fond out which aisle to go down! We finally got to Bourbon Street but the restaurant Charlie was thinking of going to is closed! I sat down while Charlie looked for another restaurant. He decides on another one and they have steak which is what I wanted.

We had quite a time with Alex in the restaurant. Actually we have had a hard time with him all day. Anyways in the restaurant he was fooling around and not behaving himself. I was sure glad when we left!

We went to Superstore, that store is too big. I didn’t care for it at all. The baby is pushing down so much it’s hard to walk around, I had to keep on going to the bathroom! We also had to go to Safeway as Superstore didn’t have any bread without sugar.

Lin and family were home when we got back. Alex played with the children until he went to bed at ten thirty. He sleeps in the sleeping bag which is good for Charlie!

I went to bed at midnight.
