Now that the house is sold, Teresa is turning her attention to getting the new place in order. This week she ordered new carpet, which will be laid in late May, just after Theodore finishes the painting. It’s a very attractive berber!

In addition, Teresa ordered a new air conditioning unit for the apartment. It gets warm in Hope Tower during the summer, and the original towers don’t have central A/C. The apartment did have an old clunker, but Teresa junked that in favour of a brand-new “Mr. Slim" unit from Mitsubishi. This should keep the place plenty comfortable.

This was a Herceptin treatment week, and Susan provided her mom with a ride back from the Credit Valley Hospital. Apparently the volunteer cancer drivers become a bit scarce once the weather warms up, so Susan may be helping out with this a bit more over the coming months. Teresa got rid of her car, remember, so she requires a lift to these important medical appointments. Since Susan was the one who acquired her mom’s car, Teresa still gets to spend time with that dependable little red Echo.
A good deal for someone willing to fix it up a little
And of course there is always packing and giving stuff away to occupy any of Teresa’s free time. Fortunately she lives in a neighborhood where “sidewalk donations” are cheerfully accepted. For example, we leaned an old bike against the tree by the curb, and it disappeared overnight.
Please keep in mind that it’s a very stressful time for Teresa right now, and she really appreciates your supportive telephone calls and prayers.
