Last Radiation Treatment Today

I completed my tenth session under the X-Ray machine.  I goofed on my schedule and arrived an hour late, but they saw me just the same.  It was also nice that Michael was allowed into see the machine and them setting me up for the shots.  It has the prettiest green laser you'll ever see.

Afterwards Kitty, lead a small 'graduation' ceremony with Teresa and Erica.  It's odd, but even that small moment was more special than I realized, and I appreciate it.

Before the appointment, Mike and I were shopping for various housewares such as sheets and things.  Since it was just Mike and myself, I had a little fun indulging in a restaurant called "The Tilted Kilt" which is really just a Hooter's wanna-be with classier costumes.  It wasn't much, but it might be my only stag moment to have shared with my son.

I had a nice Guinness and a Dublin Stew.  Mike had the "Shepherds Pie", though I don't think you should be allowed to call it that unless it is authentically made with lamb rather than ground beef.

There's another pub further North that I have been to called Big Ben that does serve a lamb shepherd's pie.  It's worth the trip - especially, if you're not looking for smarmy dress.

I really really love Charlotte, NC.  It has been the best city I have ever lived in, and were it not for a un-solicited e-mail from a Charlotte recruiter, who found my resume on Linked-In, I wouldn't be here.  It was just never on my mind.

Mike has also been helping with groceries, and we've been treated to steak dinners for the past three nights. My appetite seems to be pretty good.  I am still very weak and shaky.

Mike and Matt would like me to play some Diablo III with them, but to be honest, I doubt my hand co-ordination is up to the task. 

None the less, the boys are having a very good time with Mike's visit.

I didn't sleep at all last night - my mind was racing with many different images, and I haven't been able to settle down for a nap this afternoon.  I'm sure blessed sleep will come in its due time.
