As I sat outside my dermo appt today (I was early) I was ironicly parked RIGHT outside the chemo office, watching the nurses thru the window preparing for their day of caring for people. I had this realization that those people, like teachers, deserve to make tons of money. Man, they care for so many people, like they were members of their own family. It's a hard, thankless job, and I respect them so much. I know I couldn't do it, but thank God they were there for me thru this whole thing. I watched all the bald folks all shuffling thru the front doors of the building, doing the chemo march, knowing what dread they felt, and felt the most huge sense of relief I've felt in ages. I almost felt guilty to feel so good and happy about not going back there....I feel for those poor souls.

On another, happier, note, after that Dr. appt, I went home, parked the truck, got on the bike and rode across town to work. Ahhhh, bike season and the first ride to work (our bike parking lot pictured above). How sweet it is. Riding thru downtown Denver in the AM is quite the rush. The important folks in suits scurrying around, kinetic energy vibrating, everyone prepping for the day ahead. And what a day it is. Supposed to be 78 here today. Niceness. Anyway, the broken shell of myself I once felt seems to already be congealing back to a nice whole, and it feels great to get out and sweat a little before work. Healthy days to come! Had to tackle the only hill in Denver to get here (work in the "highlands") and cannot wait to bomb it on the way home.
