Another Routine Weekend with Cancer

The telltale features of a routine weekend with cancer:

1. You spend more time sleeping than you do awake. I wasn't keeping detailed records, but my sense is that the split this time was about 60/40.

2. You count the number of trips to the bathroom in scores, not single digits. 

3. You don't accomplish much of anything, despite all your good intentions otherwise.

In other words, not much of a weekend as far as weekends go. 

This weekend, however, did have one noticeable positive feature. For the second time this winter, my furnace died. This, two weeks after the furnace guy came out and replaced the burners and the igniter. Happily, Sib2 came over and was able to determine that the problem was a loose wire, likely caused when the furnace guy wired in the new igniter and didn't strip the wire very far. So instead of spending the weekend in the cold, and spending a couple of hundred bucks to fix it, I got it fixed for free and spent the weekend being warm. Let's hear it for talented siblings.
