Josh loves to-do lists. He has scores of them lining the pages of each notebook that passes through his hands, first blank throughout and then gradually filled up with notes about woodworking, phone numbers of people to contact, the occasional drawing from Katelyn, and...to-do lists.
In the low time of his chemotherapy cycle (the first 5 to 6 days after the treatment), Josh's to-do list looks radically different from those created at any other time. Today's to-list included six things:
* Finish the design on the next work project
* Three household chores
* Walk around the block 3 times
* Shave head
The only one checked off at the end of the day was the last one, and it didn't serve to cheer Josh up any. I crossed off two of the three household chores. The others remain undone. And that's OK.
Josh, here's your to-do list for tomorrow:
1. Sleep in as long as possible.
2. Hang out on the couch all day, thinking positively and eating what you can as often as you can.
3. Optionally take a walk around the block, preferably once the sun comes out again so you can get your dose of Vitamin D.
