All is fine, blood work was good, treatment is underway. Maybe 1 1/2 hour to go. Dinner last night was postponed by the old friends. Wife and I are looking forward to the new diner shortly.
Saw the doctor earlier today, around 8 am, nothing new, " how u feeling, any reactions we need to discuss, ya-da, ya-da. " Nothing new to report there.
Pretty boring day, cloudy today, cold tonight, low of 38. Thanks for reading, talk later.
God Bless,Captain

Thursday jog in the books
Took a 1 mile jog this AM, about 60 degrees, in the sun, was nice, wanted to go farther but the brain was against me the whole way. I'm glad I stayed with it and finished jogging and not walking. Going out to eat with old friends tonight, you can take that both ways.....lol.
Getting the brain set up for chemo tomorrow, then going to try out a new ( to me ) diner in Indy. Was a write up in the Indy star about great food at low prices, will give you a report afterwards.
You all have a great day, God Bless, Captain

Tuesday Jog in the books
Jogged about a mile today, speeding up about 1/2 thru just for the heck of it. Felt fine. Then ate my organic cereal and 2 pcs of toast with strawberry preserves. Yum, Yum. I know good food, not so good food. Oh well, doesn't trying count for anything.
Now anyone who knows me knows that I am not the kind of person who says " the sky is falling, the sky is falling " but I also believe in looking around and noticing the world around us. The financial condition of it is what I mean today. The government is out of control, only the rich are getting richer, today we're talking averting another government shutdown again. There is a web site I like to visit couple of times a week, you might think they are over the top. http://www.fedupusa.org/ Just read the first article on big banks, and that we aren't going to make it to Nov. 2012 in any way shape or form like today's way of living.
Now I owned my own business for 20 years, and I'm a big believer in if you can't run it successfully, than it should fail. Nobody should give you more money so you can fail again. But that is what our government has done with the big banks. The rich get richer. I'm not better off now than in 2007, food costs more, gas costs more and it's not getting better.
The point of this is a warning to my friends who may have IRA's or money in the stock market. Try to come to the right decision to get most of your investments into cash. I'm not saying to close out the account altogether, but just cash so you at least protect that. If you have $ 300,000 or whatever in stocks and the market start falling you could get hurt really bad. In the next year your money is not going to become $ 500,000, I know we want to stay in cause we are greedy and think it will only go up. But look at the market over the last month, 400 point swings on a daily basics is not a stable market. You could wake up and your $ 300,000 could only be worth $ 75,000.
Now I'm no market guru, but I feel I have to at least warn you all of the possibility's. If this turns out to be true, you still have your $ 300,000 no more, but no less. I would feel bad if I at least didn't mention the possibility. We all know to be cautious of being robbed, mugged and attacked on dark streets. We may have to take a longer route home, but isn't it safer than the alternative. Same thing with your money and retirement.
Be careful out there with your money, cause the government will change the rules and take all of it.
Enough, didn't mean to scare anybody, but let's all open our eyes and read the signs before us.
God Bless, Captain

Monday after Sunday Off
Jogged 1.7 mile route, felt fine, better towards the end, started out slow finished slow, but that is ok. The important thing is to be running again. Speed is not important at this time, maybe not even down the road. What's important is to kick this cancer with good shape, and shaken' the hell out of it. Break it's will to populate and grow.
I'm still basically fine, no outside effects to speak of, I'm the same person. I seem to get sluggish, sometimes I feel like eating but never get around to it ( guess that is loss of appetite ). Food is in the fridge, but I don't open the fridge to get it out. If it's anytime after 1 pm I don't want to eat for fear of feeling full and ruining supper for the wife ( the babe ). Haven't eaten yet this am and it is 10:45, but I think I will, just don't know what. Organic cereal with milk or fresh apple salad from yesterday, thinking more on the salad.
Anyways, still working and doing fine, sometimes feeling weaker than normal ( whatever normal is anymore ???? )
Got to go shower and feel clean again. Hopeing the rain will stop for 24 hours and let the ground dry out some.
God Bless all of you, Captain

Saturday Jog Completed
Day 2 of the comeback is complete. I have jogged 1 mile each day in this daring comeback from the edge of the cliff. " I wrote that like a novel, don't take it too seriously." I think it felt good, cooler weather, nothing is hurting or injured, so I may as well continue.
Getting ready to shower and the wife is making breakfast, wonder what sounds good??? Oh well, I will eat what is placed in front of me.
See you tomorrow, thanks for all you do for me and others, God Bless, Captain

Turned off the stock market, feel better..........
Yes, I did make it to the grocery yesterday. Tried to pull myself away from the computer and the stock market, I wish I was smarter. When to have the discipline to get out, to sell.
I am going to run or walk in a few minutes. Now everyone get up off the floor and back in your chairs to check back to see it I really did. Am just finishing up a cup of green tea, then will be off.
11:50 AM Ok, for all of those still with me. Anyone need smelling salts?????
I just jogged 1 mile, It's been only 2 weeks and 2 days since last running. I just want to say that I'm trying to get over the whining that's been going on here for the last 2 weeks. This is a path that I have never had to walk before and obviously I'm going to have to learn how to deal with it. So first, I don't have chemo today, so I don't know this is feel better for a week time because of no chemo, or can I make a turn and decide no matter what, this is the new old me.
Stay positive, quit trying to think everything thru. Just do what you have to do, and turn off the darn stock market. So let's everybody smile and get back to living everyday like the Lord has given us.
Thanks to those who encouraged me, and all for the prayers, God Bless you all,
Captain

Thursday
I finally got the grass mowed, I just had to do it. I know I talked about it on Tuesday, and anyone who knows my yard knows it only takes about 30 minutes to mow the front and the back. Told you I had a lack of energy. Trying to work on going to the grocery right now.
I am feeling better, started getting some energy last night. Just a sluggishness that sticks with me after chemo, or maybe the cancer eating up energy and strength. I just don't know. I guess I'm going to have to get tough and just do things and not think about them for hours on end.
And no right now I'm not running, why you ask? Who knows? But overall I'm feeling ok. I mean there is no pain, I'm thinking there is progress, just slow I guess. Anyways, I got things to do.......
