I can breathe!

I ran, the end.  Just kidding! It was a good run. I’m amazed I could still breathe! I had to go to my parents house today to go under their house to clean up mold. I was armed with bleach, goggles, a face mask and sweats to go over my clothes. I felt I should have had HAZMAT in bright orange on my back! They only have a crawl space, so I had to crawl under the house and clean up some mold that was growing. I found the source to be some snail bait my dad put down there a few months ago. I told him to never do that again! Not likely, since he’s sick. So, I had to spray bleach, then scoop it all out, then spray bleach again! My lungs were crying for help, even with the face mask!

Regardless, I was able to make it home to head to the gym. Not before having lunch from Arbys with my parents! I rarely eat fast food, but my dad loves it. Since we’re trying to get him to eat and gain any weight he can (he weighs like 150 - which is no good) we all rally around him when he wants fast food or any food. He won’t eat it alone though and loves to get everyone to have some. So, I had a sub, a few fries and some of his vanilla milkshake. Every time I visit, we have fast food, crazy stuff! I’m just glad to see him eating, because come Monday he’ll have 3 days of chemo and feel terrible for two weeks again.
