Those iTunes Folks Get Rich

So, I'm sitting for chemo round 7. It's generally boring. I spend a few hours here every two weeks and am starting to feel quite at home. A couple of times I've almost dozed off waiting 10 minutes for the oncologist. There's a pillow on the exam table, why not nap?

It's also a little depressing. I feel ok right now, but as soon as I leave here I'll start to feel nasty again. The nurses here are great. They chat while they work, with patients and each other. They are unfailingly kind. Today I was near tears driving here, so bummed that I'm doing this again. But then I came in and the nurses were chatting about movies and laughing about their differing opinions. I am thankful for the energy they invest in making the hours here encouraging.

I'm also listening to some music on my computer and have plenty of time to browse iTunes. I came across a new Mavis Staples album that is nice for right now so I bought it. iTunes is the best use ever of the urge to impulse buy. I like it and I'm a little sorry I figured out how it works. At least Mavis is here to encourage me and share my pain. She sounds like a woman who knows life is hard and God is faithful.
