It's been a mixed bag around here this weekend. Sharon felt lousy yesterday. She was also a challenge to be around; the higher steroid dose made her grouchy and irritable at a level that exceeded even her usual lofty standards.
I am not much of a chef, but I made a very good pork tenderloin for dinner last night. 'Someone' gave it a half-hearted at best reaction and griped about the tiny amount of cumin that was used. What can we expect from a person who grew up thinking salt and pepper were exotic spices? Maybe next weekend I will make her one of those no-pizzazz central Pennsylvania dishes like 'saddle steak' or 'chicken a la bland.'
On the plus side, yesterday's highlight was a visit from three roseate spoonbills. These birds are almost never seen this far from the coast. More information can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roseate_Spoonbill . Sharon was giddy for a few minutes when she spotted the spoonbills and was able to take the photo above before they flew off. She quickly went back to being grouchy, unfortunately for yours truly. Today, Sharon is a lot more 'with it' and her attitude is much improved. We certainly hope that trend continues! Of course, reading this blog posting probably won't help the cause much.
Tomorrow, we will visit Dr. Graves; Sharon is slated to start yet another 5 day chemo cycle on Tuesday. It seems like the 23 day breaks in between cycles fly by, and then time moves in slow motion during the cycles.
