Happy, Happy!

Happy Friday! I am ready for the weekend.
Had a fabulous time in Portland. That Lux is just the best (but then, so is his mommy!). He and I had long and meaningful conversations, laughed and cuddled.
Dan and Lori drove over and took us all out to eat at Fish Grotto for Carrie's 30th birthday. Wonderful food and a grand time.
Farmer's market, Canon Beach, re-decorating, hanging out. Perfect!

I can't believe that it is time for chemo again. Coming up on Monday. I am hoping that this round of green does not last as long as last time. Sure is messing with my feet. Good thing it is still flip flop season!!

Have a grand weekend!

Still green

Ok, enough already. I had chemo a week ago and my stomach is still pissed off.

Every now and then my body must just be cranky and not feel like snapping back. I think it was also harder having it on Monday and then no weekend break like I usually have when I get chemo on Thursday.
I had a great session with the acupuncturist on Saturday. She truly is a healer. Yesterday I drove to my friend Venice's, out by Hawk Springs. Lovely drive-fields of sunflowers, cool enough for a sweatshirt. After we nibbled our way through the gardens, we sat under the trees and worked on our looms. Fun to weave and chat and watch the birds.
Today, Des brought me chunks of two different breads and Meg arrived with home made chicken burgers and cookies. (Thank you!)
All that should get me on the mend. That and, I get to see Lux on Thursday and celebrate my daughter's 30th birthday! Wahoo!
Life is GOOD!!

chemo on a Monday-yuk!

Not a way to start the week! It was lovely to have the acupuncture. Always so healing to visit with Stacey. She is amazing. But then, to be feeling so darn good (especially with a few extra days), and wam! Here we go again. Number 66 on the Alimta. Number 72 overall. I must be getting pretty blase about it all. I went to get my log that I keep after every infusion. I had not written a thing last time! I guess that is good-things are staying the same and I am doing great!

I was on the road last week for work. I love it so much! I was in Dayton with teachers, Basin and Riverton with public library folks. Then to Jackson for Information Power with the school library media group. Fantastic gathering. It took me 4 1/2 hours to go over the mountains! So much construction. Then on to Alpine and Kemmerer. Lots of miles and lots of folks. Beautiful scenery. I love my job!

Hope you all are enjoying your summer.
