Random Thoughts...

I'm driving along University Avenue and I pass a pizza place.  Out front is a sign that says "MED SPECIALTY"  - what does that mean?  Well, "Medical Specialty Clinics" right?  Duh.  Is medical "junk" on my mind or what?  I started laughing out loud when I realized what my mind had done.

I'm humming all day long in my best Elmer Fudd voice to the music of Wagner - Die Walküre "The Ride of the Valkyries" - "Kill the cancer, kill the cancer, kill the cancer, kill the cancer."  I invited my Facebook friends to hum or sing along with me.  :-)

I potted a chicken tonight.  Tomorrow I'll skim off the fat and de-bone it and turn it into chicken and noodles.  That should taste good when I get home Thursday after two days of poking, injecting, prodding, etc.

Years and years ago when I was first diagnosed, I had a dream of the future.  In the dream I was walking across a field with a gray wolf-like dog.  The dog was somehow helping me transition - from what to what - that I'm not sure...but I will say that it was from illness to well being.  I could never figure out who that dog was in my dream...I had never known a dog like that in 1996 when first diagnosed.  In fact, we did not have a dog back then and frankly I was scared of dogs then (now I sleep with two of them in my bedroom). While walking around outside this week with Ole - our newest addition - a Norwegian Elkhound - very wolf-like...it hit me.  He's the dog from the dream.  He's here to help me heal.  He is a loving dog and very attentive and protective.  I had no idea when we brought him home that I'd be facing a cancer recurrence and that he'd fulfill a prophetic dream.  Remember, spell dog backwards and what do you get?  GOD!  That's because dogs love so unconditionally - just as the Lord loves us.

Tonight, finish up a load of laundry.  Tomorrow, work, teach, etc.  Wednesday - get healing treatment.  Thursday - get more healing treatment and come home.  Friday - see my daughter!!!!!!!!!!! in Seattle and be reunited with the core family unit - Bob, Alek, Olyvia and me!

Right now - pretty tired - so tossing clothes into the dryer, turning off the chicken, walking the dogs and going to sleep...and watching an I Love Lucy episode as I drift off ;-)
