Chemo day 1

Today I started the chemo again, but taking 75% of the previous dose. That will be three am and three pm. We'll see how that goes. Dr. Harris may have to adjust it again. But we won't know untill we just try.

This morning Yvonne the girls and I went to Wal-Mart with lunch at McDonald.

First thing Anneka said when I got in the car (after saying hi Oma), "Did Opa give you money for McDonald?" "He sure did" I said.

As we drove up to Wal-Mart, the girls got all exited.

Aila: "zst zst zst zst?" (Her vocabulary).
Anneka: "That's right Aila, that is McDonald".
Aila: "tsz zzzst zstt??"
Anneka: "No we cannot park there Aila, it has to have a special sign!"
Aila: "zz zzsz zzstz ?".
Anneka: "Yes Aila, that car looks like ours!"

And that went on a bit, Yvonne and I started howling, Anneka sounded so like a big sister, how cute.

I am not sure if Yvonne is going to tell what happened to us at McDonald.
I stood in line to order, Yvonne was getting a table and settled Aila in a high chair, hung Anneka's coat on the chair. Then Anneka said: "Mommy I have to pee!"
Ok, now Aila was in line with me in her highchair. When Yvonne came back, Anneka's coat was gone. We started looking all over the place. It's funny actually, how indifferent people seem. Look lady, that's your problem!

So I said to Yvonne, "lets eat, we will just have to buy another one", (thinking to myself, this is going to be an expensive lunch for me!) Yvonne said: "I guess, somebody needed a coat, so well, whether I give it away or it is taken by force, may the Lord bless them. Or something like that. Then I said: "We should ask Jesus to bring it back". "Yes", said Anneka,"This is a problem, I need it for going to school". So we prayed, not 10 minutes later, an aboriginal family came in carrying the coat. Their little girl had an identical one and it was taken by accident! What a lesson for all of us!

This does not relate to the above, but I saw a sign which read:

If you argue with fools, so do they!
