My Morning So Far

My husband had his first radiation treatment this morning at 8 am.  Took 30 mins.  We were told the following will be much shorter.  He will now be receiving them 5 days a week for the next 9 weeks.  After his appointment there was finished, we headed to the hospital where he will also receive his first Chemo treatment today as well.  Chemo will only be once every 3 weeks.  This treatment will last around 6 hours and my 5 year old daughter isn't allowed back in the treatment area so I'm now back at home until I get a call from the nurse to come back for him.  She said she'd call about 30 minutes before his treatment ends to give me time.  

Things of no importance really but yet I've allowed to upset me so far this morning,

1.  I made my daughter a cup of hot chocolate in the waiting room from the complimentary snack bar.  I didn't think it was as hot as it was and when she sipped it it burnt her tongue and she screamed and started crying.  A grown adult lady started laughing

2.  On the drive home I noticed through my rear view mirror as I turned onto my street a dump truck speeding behind me.  I figured I'd give my signal early as I know it takes the bigger trucks longer to stop.  The driver paid my signal no mind and rode my bumper as if to push me into my drive.  He/She probably could have cared less an innocent young child was sound asleep in the back seat.

I guess I'm just a little emotional today.   I will not smoke!

I'm 43 and started smoking at age 16. A smoker of 27 years! Wow, that's a long time :( I've stopped multiple times in the past but ended up going back within a few months. This time I stopped cold turkey with lots of prayer. A spiritual quit. God is good!
