Dear Diary,

It's been a good week. I returned to work at the Cancer Center. My dear husband sent me a colorful bouquet of spring flowers.  He knew I'd need some sweetness on my first day back. I felt like I had my tail between my legs. I even asked my co-workers if they wanted their going away gifts returned! They declined.

My new position is Oncology Research Coordinator. Among other things that means I don't have to wear gray scrubs to work everyday! That makes me happy. It will be another steep learning curve for me. Not sure that makes me so happy. Sometimes I think that at this point in my career I'd like to settle in and coast. But it's not to be, for me!  

On Sunday Lenny and I worked in the yard and garden. It feels so healthy to be outside in the sunshine. As Lenny says, after a long winter we need to "blow the stink off". I dug strawberry plants out of our vegetable garden as they were crowding the tomato territory! Lenny had reclaimed an ugly burn pile that turned out to be a perfect place for a new strawberry patch. Now I'm waiting for some juicy red fruit to top my morning cereal!
