Nice Weekend!

I was released from OSU on Friday at noon so Laci came to get me to take me to her house. She worked from home then while I took a little nap. hehe. Then later, my Mom drove down to go see Mary Poppins with us. It was really great! The sets, the costumes, the wonderful voices. WOW! Then we drove back to Bucyrus and I just stayed at Mom's house since it was so late.

Saturday when I got home I started doing a little work around the house. Mostly putting my decorations back from having the carpets cleaned last week. Boy, did the carpets look great. Thanks Sam Zarcone, nice job guys! Then later we ran to Mansfield for a few things and ate at Johnny Biggs. The salmon was very flakey and mashed potatoes went down perfectly. Hope it stays that way!

Sunday was rest & relaxation day. Just minor cleaning and Gary had to move all the big furniture back. I made veggie soup. YUMMY!!! What a nice day it was out. Just a few sprinkles. Well, that's my exciting life. hehee

I go see Dr. O'Malley Thursday so we'll see what he wants to do about all these obstructions!! More to come then....

Enjoy these spring days!

Glad you had a good time at Mary Poppins!

Cleaning the carpets makes it seem like spring....everything clean and bright. I love that too. And making soup is just soulful. Praying that your obstructions are clear from now on!

It's 2010! Time to Reflect...

Almost 18 months cancer-free...how long will it last? Such an aggressive cancer, this damn Leiomyosarcoma! Every CT/MRI I have had since my completion of radiation in August 2008 was VERY stressful. Even when I didn't realize it, "SCAN"XIETY loomed in the back of head. Knowing that I had a 50% chance of the cancer returning. Wondering if NOT having chemo back then was the right path. Since my doc's hadn't dealt with many sarcomas, did they really know the BEST treatments?

The last year and half has brought me so much joy and contentment. To be a GRANDMA! Wow. I love it! To become so much closer to my family. My sis is my best friend now! My husband and I couldn't be any closer. I get to see my daughter and her family every week when I go to babysit my little Maxton. My stepdaughter moved in with our youngest grandson, Marcus, for 6 months. He is a little angel. My Mom has been so much help to me through all my health issues. My stepdad and I have become closer than I ever thought possible. He has been down the cancer road as well. My Mother-in-law has moved closer to us and our relationship has grown. And then I began working at Samaritan and have some wonderful friends! I love that place so much! It's worth the 45 minute drive.

I HAVE A WONDERFUL LIFE!
And I know how to live it...by the seat of my pants! :)

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive well preserved body, but rather to slide in sideways, chocolate in one hand, a beer (or tequila) in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, screaming "woo hoo, what a ride"
