We saw Scott's oncologist this morning, and he postponed chemo for one week because Scott's white blood cells are too low. He's expecting them to return to a good enough level so they can blast away at them with chemo again next week. We were sort of pleased because then Scott can enjoy trick-or-treating with Maz and will be in a lot better shape for our trip to Cedars-Sinai on Friday.

On Saturday, we got a jump-start on Halloween with Maz's school carnival. And, of course, the hot dog costume made its 2013 debut. (FYI: The hot dog costume is a joke that backfired on me. I bought it five years ago because I was irritated that Scott would not come costume shopping with me. I figured I'd get back at him by buying him a really terrible costume. But the joke's on me ---- he won't stop wearing it. And not just on Halloween. He totally loves it).

Scott's hoping to catch up on email this week.
