Day 17

Sunday May 9, 2013

Nice early start this morning and we had breakfast at Gourmet Express in Porter Square, Cambridge. Nice quiet place for breakfast on a weekend if you like great food with your peace and quiet. I hate eating in noisy bird cages.

Today on our agenda is to go to Sears and get a new microwave and toaster oven. We did our review research online and found a few things that we liked. Now it’s off to the store to check them out.

We’ve got our new stuff home and we’re going to see our friend Kay’s oil paintings on display at the Habitat Education Center in Belmont. The Habitat is a great local place to bird watch, take pictures of nature and sign the kids up for the many activities that are held here. I just found out about the Habitat and plan on visiting often and take pictures.

Kay is a very talented artist that paints everything from landscapes to flora to portraits. The setting for her reception couldn’t have been at a better location. The Habitat is a 90 acre wildlife sanctuary that has some of the most beautiful natural surroundings. And since the paintings on display were inspired by her walks in the Audubon Sanctuaries it really brought out the connection from what you see during your walk and Kay’s interpretation onto the canvas. You can check Kay’s paintings out at her website.

Well the day is coming to an end and I’m losing more hair as the day passed. I think that I’ve got to buzz the sides cause there all blotchy and Ill looking if I take the hat off. It’s just the way that it is falling out. So I gotta buzz it out. It’s going to look pretty stupid, but it’s all going to fall out in a few more days anyway. 

I’m going to make my lunch for tomorrow, buzz my sides and call it a night.

Day 16

Saturday May 18, 2013

Today is an awesome day outside. I’ve got a couple of errands to run and I hope that I can enjoy the great outdoors while I’m out.

I took Ronnie’s advice and went to Spencer’s to get a Scally Cap. Drove with the top down to the Square 1 Mall and let my hair fall out on to the cars behind me. I had my face mask and hand cleaners on me in case I need them.

Spencer’s had 2 hats so I got the Rasta one and figured I’d check the other stores while I was there. I found a store Lids and all they have is hats, mainly ball caps, but they had a small selection of Scally caps. I found a couple that I really liked even if I wasn’t losing my hair and got one there as well. So now I have 2 hats, one for work and one for going out. Soon as my hair grows back I might even keep wearing these things cause they’re kind of cool. Thanks Ronnie!

I did enough walking around the mall, but still need to do some more later. The high pollen hasn’t really been bothering me so I don’t see why I can’t get my fat ass back on my bike.

Well I got home and farted around for a bit and walked a mile and did some training on my wooden dummy and swung my sticks for a while, then figured I’d take a nap cause I have Tong Ren tonight at 5:30 and I slept right through it. I’ve got chemo this weekend and I won’t be able to go back until the first of June.

Even more of my hair is falling out, might have to do something about it because it isn’t falling evenly and looks like something you’d see in a horror movie.
