Saturday, Nothing New (Fashion Colors)

Nothing new for today, which is a hooray situation. :)

He does have a little odd color, still, to his skin. Sort of white looking, but not too bad: he's been worse!

We sometimes stand side-by-side in front of the mirror and compare our skin colors, and today, he's not that far off.

Yesterday, though, he thought my cheeks were pinker than his, but I said it was because I had just walked around Bass Lake (link to Bass Lake pictures below) in a cold wind. (He walked around it, too, but more slowly, and with some sit-down time, during which he watched "the cutest Yorkie" he's "EVER seen!" play ball with its mom--but still--that walk means he went a whole mile yesterday!)

As for skin color descriptions: with the help of our friend Mary, I decided that if he ever gets going on that yellow skin color again, it will be more flattering to him if I use fashion color names to describe his tone.

Bill agreed.

So last time he and I were in Lowe's, we went to the paint section and pulled out a few pages of samples of yellow paint and looked at the color names they use.

So, now, while we hope Bill doesn't have his yellow days during future rounds of chemo, if he does, I will no longer be describing him so boringly as "yellow." Rather, he will be one of the following:

Butterscotch Cream
Spun Honey
Lemon Sorbet
Gold Abundance
Field of Daisies
Golden Promise
Fruit Compote
Hazy Dawn
Coconut Cream
Roasted Chestnut
Afternoon Tea
