I noticed as I did the rounds of the blogs that I like to read that there's a general feeling of funk out there.
I'm experiencing a slight funk too.
We're so ready to have chemo over, but also a bit apprehensive because then you have to see if it worked or not.
I'm so ready to have Spring be more like Summer and to go out and have some fun. I'm ready to take care of the yard and do some cleaning and have decent weather while I do it.
Each year I wonder why I don't do more things in the Spring and then I remember...black flies. We've had a wet Spring and that means that we'll have a bumper crop.
It really takes away from enjoying a day in the garden or clearing trees when you have your eyes and ears swarmed by those little pests. Even sitting on the sidelines at a soccer game becomes a chore and you find yourself wishing for a steady wind to keep them at bay.
What a rambling post...

Posted by: Bob on April 5, 2005 09:07 PMDidn't Eliot say something about April being the cruellest month? - and of course he meant it about your neck of the woods. There always is something very jittery about this time of year - not so much here maybe - but back in the UK too.
You of course have more reason to be jittery than most. Another hug Bob and lots of fellow feeling. It's a tough thing to live through - and you, to judge from your blog, do it very bravely.
Thanks, grannyp, for the hugs and fellow feeling.
Posted by: Bob on April 6, 2005 04:21 AMNo shame in rambling (just like shoe shopping). It's good for the soul...
Thoughts and prayers are with you and the fam. Hang in there...
Thanks, Rambler! :)

Isn't it funny how these moods tend to sweep across the blogosphere? Maybe it's an emotional virus or something. Maybe it's the change of weather? It's very weird.
Best wishes for the chemo thing. All will be well, I hope and pray.
And the black flies: they give you something to whinge about when the dirty snow is gone, at least. Can't be all bad. :)
