Finally - feeling good!

Greetings!  I'm writing this in the midst of my chemo "off-week" and am feeling pretty good!  I've actually had a several good days in a row and have been enjoying every possible minute knowing that it all goes south once I'm back on.  I see the doctor on Friday and am hopeful that we can switch up the current chemo cycle enough so that it isn't quite so terrible.  More on that later, in a different post.

While I have been trying to get out and get some exercise (light bike riding, walking the dogs) I'm not supposed to spend much time in the sun because of one of the meds I'm taking so I have also tackled a few indoor projects.  My closet is finally back to thinned out and organized and now I am sifting through boxes of memorabilia trying to organize piles based on who I think might get a kick out of receiving some of my old crap.  I'm talking about ticket stubs for a show we may have seen together, not my old binkie or something.

From the collection:

A drawing of my mother, I must have been about 7 or 8 years old.  The information in the bottom corner is as follows:
Age: 29
Weight: 109
Favorite Food:  Chow Mein (!?)



A selection of concert ticket stubs.  Guess who saw Culture Club in 1984?  I had to beg (it was a school night after all) but it was AWESOME!

Clockwise from the top:
Culture Club
Kronos Quartet
Squeeze
Paul Young w/ Wang Chung
Paul Weller
Morrissey
Howard Jones
The Cure

Good times!

Ok, back to cleaning up and such.  Just wanted to say hello and let everyone know I was feeling good for a change of pace.  Hope you are the same!

  1. Glad to hear your feeling better David and proud, I think, to say that I had similar music taste.

  2. Wow...look at those ticket prices in the '80's. You saw some great concerts! I never saved my ticket stubs but I had a wealth of concert t-shirts. All of them black, of course. Was there any other color offered? I wish I'd saved them. But they don't compare to my lavender colored satin Led Zeppelin baseball-style jacket. Led Zeppelin was embroidered on the back in a dark purple. Glad you're feeling better and I hope the next time around is better. See you soon!
