Check-up, check-in

I had my six month check-up at the oncologist on Monday. She says I'm doing great. The leukemic cells are still slightly detectable at less than one percent. We would like them to be undetectable, but this result has been consistent for 18 months now, and that's good. I am also still a bit anemic, but that is consistent too.
I did lose 10 pounds, which I hope will spur me on to manage my weight better. It's hard to get in any walking time when my pronated ankle is hurting. I just need to spend more time on the exercise bike and less on the computer.
I haven't been stitching since we got back from California even though I purchased some nice things at Needle in a Haystack. I did have a nice exchange with Pam in Chicago. She wanted Starbucks coffee mugs and sent me a 123Stitch gift certificate in payment. So now I get to shop again!

The Fire Dept. held a successful haunted house for Halloween. We had over 600 people come through and made over $300 in donations. Plus it was a lot of fun for everyone!
Now I'm getting into a Xmas holiday frame of mind already. I want to put lights on the decks and clean up the house to get it ready for decorations. I've gotten a couple of cards in the mail from 123Stitch members and want to get mine ready to go too. The lack of snow here doesn't make for a Christmasy landscape though.
