1. First thing this morning I was off to Kootenai Lab Services for the next of my weekly blood draws. Two more weeks to go. Everything went smoothly and the results that have appeared so far are consistent with what the numbers were last week. That's a relief. I hope this pattern continues as more results pop up this week -- certain tests have to go to other labs outside of Kootenai's to be measured.
2. Back home, I called our financial advisor in Bellevue and in short order we took care of the business we are dealing with right now and, if all goes well, we should be finished with the task at hand.
3. East of Eden is a sprawling novel that John Steinbeck divided into four parts. I reached the end of Part III last night and it was devastating -- so much so, that I closed the book, let what I'd just read settle down inside of me, and gave myself a break from the Hamilton and the Trask families until tomorrow.
I admire a writer, like John Steinbeck, who can structure a story in such a way that when a specific unnerving episode concludes, I'm left nearly paralyzed, able to do little more than stare into the deep of the night and with a combination of grief and bewilderment wonder why life seems to have to take such painful turns.
