Conditioning Begins

We started somewhat early this morning, walking to the clinic for our 7:30am lab appointment. 
We had some time before the infusion so we stopped at the Resource Center for a few minutes. 
Then, off to the infusion room for the Fludarabine infusion.  The Conditioning Began!
That was easy!  In at 8:30am, Out at ..., well, the clock was broken in that room, but we think we were out around 9:45am. 
That was the end of our time at the clinic today!

There was still much to do.  I hadn't done any Saturday cleaning last week, so today was the day for that ..., vacuuming, mopping, dusting, cleaning bathrooms, etc.   I added laundry to that list of things to do too, including bedding.  So, by the end of this day, everything will be nice and clean.  I'm leaving ironing for tomorrow though. ;)

Do you remember the construction out our window at SCCA House?  We showed a few photos HERE.
Well, I don't think I've told you about the construction out our window here at Pete Gross House.  It's at a different stage, but it's happening.  Pete Gross House is to the left of this view from the street.

 

This view is from our window, looking East.

 

 

You may have noticed in that photo that there was a large white bag of mulch being raised up to the roof with the crane. 

A big crane pulled in (in the dark of morning) and was setting up before we left for the clinic today.  They were still working when we got back, and didn't stop until quitting time this afternoon. They moved several bags and several pallets of plants up there too (over two semi loads).  We'd love to see what they are doing and creating up on that roof.

 

 

 

This next photo is out the North window.  (I have to admit I have to ask Terry what the directions are because I am lost over here.  It just sounds so wrong that I am looking toward the North when I look toward Lake Union.  And this next view is toward Lake Union. Not much of a view of the lake, but it's a little better when it's not foggy.) 

 

See the blue walls?  That is also construction. There were no walls when we first got here, and surely there will be an outside wall still going up.

 

Those are the only two views we have, because our South and West walls are inside walls.  If we could see the block to the South, we would see construction on the block across the street. I could keep going with other areas of construction all over this place.   It's amazing.  We've seen several homes and buildings that really need torn down and new rebuilt, and I'm sure that in time that will happen.

That last photo was taken this afternoon while the food truck was here.  It pulls in every day and several construction workers meet it and purchase their lunch.  We recognize the sound - in fact, the first time I heard it I thought it was an ice cream truck.  It's fun to look out and see the workers walking over toward it, almost reminds me of ants at a picnic.  ;)  After they are done, the truck pulls out, but today it stayed a few minutes longer.  Maybe they had to make more to sell before traveling to their next area.  ??? 

Well, that's our day and a little more about the Sights and Sounds of our little part of Seattle.
