February Blahs

The watchword for this week was “tired”. Might be the weather or might be the chemo, but whatever the cause Teresa was rather sapped of energy. However, Teresa has much experience with fatigue at this stage of the treatment, so it’s nothing unusual.

With all the snow in Brampton this past week, Mom’s quite happy to be living elsewhere for the time being. Her neighbour agreed to keep her driveway clean of snow, which has been a real blessing this year. Unfortunately, the big storms last weekend made it impossible for Marian and Lee to visit from Ottawa, but that’s life in the snow belt. The new target for the Dekorte visit is later this month.

Teresa actually ran the show here for a couple of days while John and Susan were up in Thunder Bay for the funeral of John's brother, Martin. Susan flew up with John’s mom on Thursday January 31, returning Saturday evening February 2. In situations like this you can certainly see the difference that experience makes!

New and Improved - due to file size limits, last week’s George Lassche slide show only contained four slides. If you click the link below, you can view all the slides in the original PowerPoint show.

George Lassche slide show

The link opens a new browser window and takes you to John’s Flickr account. Once you are there, just click View as slideshow (just above all the picture tiles, on the right) to see all the slides in order. Once the slideshow starts, you’ll see a circled “i” in the middle of the photo. Click the “i” to display captions. When the slideshow is over, you can just close the browser window.

Also, note the new link to the Family Hartwick blog, in the Links section on the right of this page. Just click that link to check on the latest happenings with baby Sophia, Christine, and Mark.
