Journal entry by les bartlett

I post little because to my mind there is little to post though existence goes on. Visit to MDA for blood sucking next Monday, and then scans a couple seeks later and meeting with the head doctor. To date I have probably had about ten chocking incidents any of which could have been fatal.  I'm still here, so the choking failed. I have to work to keep other side effects under some kind of control- not a real fun thing to do.

I decided I would take on a tuning student. I'd sort of forgotten that the art of the work really is difficult, but I believe he can make it. I am scheduling tunings on MWF, leaving TT as rest days. Have failed rather miserably with that I've taken to work on my "rest days" with my student. I think I have to have a day that leaves me at least one of the working as a day of resting. I'm shrinking my working geography and have decided I don't need to overwork myself with pianos not tuned in 30 years.  I have three large churches I tune, which I think will keep me busy till at least after Christmas.

Friday I was forced to do my two most difficult pianos in one day, went home, and fell asleep for 5 hours, and then in bed until today after getting a massage which just ruined me. Such a thing is not advised with my chemo-poison.Tomorrow, Thursday I really am going to rest, and then go back at it.

I'm alive, am aware the act of praying for another has good effect, and I am appreciative.
