When I arrived at the Cancer Center this morning there were a bunch of people standing around the machine where you pay for parking. If the weather is cold the machine is a bit glitchy and they do not always work well. In the past they use to put a cover over the machines to…
Each time you visit the cancer center you get a bracelet to wear. If you kept it from the day before they do not print you a new one. Mel wanted me to get rid of it this weekend and wondered why I kept it on. Whenever I get new clothes, for fun I like…
We have arrived home after being gone for the whole weekend. The arena that we played our games in was freezing cold and not super pleasant to be in. We knew that it was going to be cold ahead of time so we had prepared for it already. Now that I am back in the…
