So my friend Bex in Portland is also going through chemo. She just posted on her blog about what surprisingly good reading material her oncologist's office offered. So I looked around at Dr West's office, and he has some good stuff too. Then I went down to the treatment center...and all I could find to read was a Ladies Home Journal and a Palm Desert Living. So I picked the LHJ. And I found this ad.
WHO BUYS THIS KIND OF STUFF?!? Especially for $150!!
My next treatment I am stealing something from Dr West's office to read.

Who doesn't like a lifelike monkey??? I based my whole wedding around them : )
I'm lucky, I think, that my oncologist's office has its own treatment center....so I don't feel bad about moving a good magazine from one room to the next. Am definitely going to seek out LHJ for sheer entertainment next Wednesday.
We get very ramdom mags at UW, BUT, hospitals and medical centers are fabulous places to drop off magazines that you've already read - they love it. Just take your address label off and bring a stack next time you're visiting. I swear, even mags from 1989 seem pretty interesting when you're waiting for chemo to be finished!

P.S. I've not had the pleasure of seeing lifelike baby monkeys, but I'll keep watch from here on out!
That would be an Orangutan; great ape, definitely no monkey. What is LHJ?

I think it's because the great apes have a secret conspiracy to take over Ladies' Home Journal, using it to attain their own devious ends!
ahhhhh! Ladies Home Journal! Gotcha! And secretly, every woman pines for her own infant like monkey! I get it now! :P

Is there your way of hinting to us what you want for Christmas!! Can't wait for the big parte' -already got the babysitter lined up.
Here's to the last of treatments.
Love the Syvlesters
A baby sister for Lucie!
Glad to hear you're powering through. I wish I could be there for the grand celebration but we'll be back east visiting family.
I think of you often, brave one.
All my best,
justyn (and ian and finley, too)
I'll bring something from home from you...
We should get Amazon to donate some Kindles to the treatment center. It's captive audience, and our movie collection is probably getting pretty stale.
