Today is my mum's birthday. Happy Birthday Mum!!We stopped by for a visit and to give her a little gift earlier in the day. She's having a relaxing day I think. My brother was scheduled to arrive shortly after we left. I felt a little bad that we couldn't stay until he got there. We had the dogs with us and they were getting antsy to go (it was getting pretty hot by the time we left) and Mark wasn't feeling super fantastic either.
He ended up having to stay home from work on Thursday and Friday. I'm not sure if this is all down to the chemo or if he's picked up a bug too but he's been sleeping, a lot. Like more than I have ever seen, even after surgery. The upside of the sleeping is that when he is asleep, he isn't having stomach distress so at least that's something.
When he's not sleeping, we're just hanging around the house with the dogs, binge-watching tv shows we've had saved up for a while. Over the past couple of days we got through the final episodes of "Halt and Catch Fire" and "Fargo." Fargo was incredible, Halt and Catch Fire... well it left me a bit "meh." I worked for a software company right out of college so a lot of what was portrayed took me back to those crazy mid-80's days. The company I worked for sold flow charting software and I remember how HUGE a deal it was for us to offer mouse support for our product. By the time I joined the company, we had 5 1/4" and 3 1/2" inch floppies but just prior to me joining, they were selling 7" floppies too. I think if it gets a second season, we'll probably watch it for the amusement factor but I really didn't give a crap about any of the characters by the time season 1 wrapped up.
Now that we are both officially on vacation, I'm not sure what we will get upto. It's going to depend entirely upon how Mark's feeling. He has chemo again next week which should be interesting. Hopefully he'll be rested up and ready to go again by Wednesday.
