Woke up with the cough... and as I promised Heather last night, I called Dr. Flej...have an appointment scheduled for tomorrow morning. Was out the door early and off to work. It's a super busy time at work, as I'm preparing for a big 2 day meeting next week to formally kick-off a 2 yrs project for my new job. No surprise, we timed the 2 day meeting around my chemo treatment. They told me I'd be feeling better over the 3 week break between chemo treatments ... so my meeting is the 2 days before my next treatment on the 20th. =) After a super successful day at work, I was on my way home and on the phone with Heather when she looked up and saw the ceiling of our condo was bubbling and the ceiling was likely leaking.
After some crisis calls with the condo association, it was decided that it was best to wait until morning until the roof contractor would come over. All I could think of was ... seriously? The day we were married, there was a water main break on our street, and our basement was flooded with a foot of water and items on the floor of our storage locker were soaked. Now, the first warm day of Spring ... the roof is leaking. This is why I live in a condo, and no longer wanted the stress of this like I'd had with my single family homes. Not to mention... come on, do I really need any more stress? I mean ... come on! Can I please get a break?
Once we knew the roof people weren't coming tonight, we set up some buckets and headed out on our walk to the Bradley Center to join my former team for an NBA game ... Go Bucks Go. We didn't really go for the game, more the company and use of the GE Suite =) I am glad we went... I needed out of the house watching the water bulge getting bigger. After the game we walked back. All of the walking, I was finally able to hit my goal of 10,000 steps for the first time since Heather and I had gotten our FitBits shortly after my diagnosis. My final distance walked for the day 4.77 miles. Yup, that felt great! Vlad ... you are going down, and chemo ... I will fight you back on the heart damage risk by working out through this journey. Game on!
As soon as we got back home... the water stress set back in and I knew I needed to get to sleep as soon as I could before my head got ahead of me and started spinning with stress and anxiety over what this would mean about our living conditions. There was a leak a year ago on the other side of the building, and it took them more than 6 months to diagnose and start repairs. What started off as such an awesome day, has ended with so much stress.
