It was “fun” going running today. It’s an out-and-back route, 1 1/2 miles on the road, the rest on a gravel road, and it’s uphill most of the first half. Foolishly, I tried to stay on the sidewalk on the way up and found the worst traction was ice on the sidewalk. The roads were mostly clear. Much of the run was on choppy ice, the kind that forms on churned up snow. And now it’s snowing again! What I like most about rain is that you don’t have to shovel it.

And this is my last day of diagnosis ignorance. Tomorrow I find out what the doctor has found out from all the blood draws and the bone marrow biopsy. Maybe my bone marrow is really cotton candy. Who knows?
