The Age of Enlightenment

Teresa’s life is starting to resemble a Herman Hesse novel, in that she has actively renounced some of her most significant personal possessions. In one week, Teresa has made major moves to unload house, car, and computer. There’s nothing like shedding one’s material possessions to finally resolve the duality of unfettered spirituality and earth-bound nature, eh?

Remember this IBM ad campaign? - never did make much sense

The end result will almost surely be a more enjoyable life at Holland Christian Homes. If asked to find the common thread among house, car, and computer, most of us would quickly respond with “they all break down.” Exactly right! Teresa has very little need for a car in HCH, and when you’ve got all these excellent long-distance phone plans, who needs a computer to communicate? Just pick up the phone!

If you really want to sell something, put a baby in the ad

Radiation treatment ends on Monday April 14, so all that’s left after that is the Herceptin every three weeks. Then it’s time to swing into move preparation full-time. Teresa takes possession of her new apartment on April 15. With six weeks to go until the move date, she’s in good shape. Teresa also had chest x-ray and bloodwork done as part of the HCH tenancy requirements this week.


Time to lift some mom and baby pix from the Hartwick blog …
