After just 2 nights sharing a room and a bath, they were both quite happy to move in to the 2 bedroom, 2 bath fully furnished apartment. I just didn't realize how much "stuff" it takes to furnish an apartment, but besides the beds and sheets, the sofa and coffee table, the dining room table and chairs, there were trash cans, pots and pans, boxes of tissue, pictures on the walls, plants on the tables, :: deep breath :: shower curtains, hand soap, dishwashing detergent, kitchen towels and a sponge, knives, forks, spoons, spatulas, a can opener, a corkscrew, a vacuum cleaner... (okay, there were no scissors, but everything else was there!)
So now they've got a bit of room to spread out instead of just getting on each other's nerves (oh come on, you know it happens). Judith got high speed internet installed and I brought our "travel" wireless router so they don't have to try to steal a connection off "smoooth operator" (really, that was the name of the only unsecured wireless network in range). It's supposed to be for Chase's studies, but it's really so Judith can surf YouTube:
My last night there the weather cleared enough so we could meet some friends of mine, Lynette and Joey, who picked us up and took us to Taste of Texas for some absolutely fantastic steaks and good conversation. And leftovers... How was that cheesecake the next day, Chase?
Before I forget, Judith sent me links to info on Dr. Woo, Chase's radiation oncologist, and Dr. Ater who will be watching over his blood counts and finishing up his chemo (that one remaining Vincristine shot).
They joined a gym today, so that should help Chase get rid of some energy. Hey, at least he still has some!
