I’ve been busy buying tons of cute fabrics, stitching lots of scarves, riding on the back of Honey’s motorcycle, touring an iris farm and ordering lots of irises to be planted in the fall, tending to my garden, taking the dogs to the dog park to work on Scarlett’s social skills, visiting with Aunt Marti and Uncle Marv when they were out here early last week, having dinner with Sister and her fiance, shopping for new pants that are two sizes smaller than I’ve been wearing for the past four years (yay!), trying to meditate at least once a week, making plans to go see Sex and the City movie tonight with a friend, reading the book Communion and trying not to freak myself out late at night as a result, watching my hair continue to grow in splotches on my scalp and trying to let it grow out a bit before shaving it again (it’s just easier to shave it than try to deal with the blank spaces with no hair…I’m getting more of the drug that causes the hair loss this Friday so I’ll probably end up losing more if not all of it by the time we leave for FL), watching the second season reruns of Dexter, and making plans with Honey to celebrate our five year wedding anniversary which is this Saturday but we’re celebrating Thursday night before chemo on Friday.

As you can see, I’m very busy on my weeks off from chemo. Friday I’ll start another round: three weeks on, one week off. My last dose of the next round is three days before we leave for vacation. It’s a good thing there’s really nothing to do on Amelia Island than vegitate on the beach and visit with family!
