It's funny how knowing that you're going to be under the weather for a year really makes everything you do prior to the first shot so much more enjoyable. I was told in March that I was 1-2-3 [Type 1; Class? 2; Stage 3] and that I could not really put off treatment any more -- I've known for decades that I had Hep C. And I still put off the start date until after I gave a long awaited presentation for work. Now, it's just 12 days away... gulp.
Spent my last 'well' wknd home this wknd - will still be away at that conference next wknd. Planted my brand new 4' X 8' raised bed veggie garden. I've always grown flowers only in my urban, postage stamp-sized backyard, but I thought that it would be great to be able to just gather a salad dinner in the backyard if I was too sick or didn't feel like facing people [and a wonderful organization here [TheFoodProject.org] put it in for almost no cost]. Here's hoping mother Gaia smiles on the garden.
Also bought a new tv for what I imagine will be at least a few wknds on the couch this year. Nothing outrageous and no cable - I'm way too addictive to have cable tv!

I'm so glad your taking the opportunity to write in your journal.
This is a great way to keep track of things, especially with the brainfog you might experience due to the ribavirin, that's the pills you will take daily.
I have a couple of wooden boxes with dirt in them. so I plant a bit of salad, tomatoes, and a few kinds of onions.
I have a bed of flowers in front that I plant some flowers in it, they are so beautiful.
Ok so in 12 days my love, I shall see you then my friend.
Have a wonderful Mothers Day.
