I just got back from a wonderful 3 days down in LA. I went down with Colleen and our friend from Chicago, Kimberly. We had a fantastic time, full of sunning ourselves pool side, shopping, dinners out and we even went dancing (ok, I only danced to two songs – but still)! It was such a nice way to celebrate the end of the dreaded “red devil”. I really missed Desmond, but it was good to have three days of non-mommy time. And thankfully Brian survived without a scratch.
Speaking of Brian, he’s in Nashville this week at a work conference (Nashville in August, yuck). So now it’s my time to be single parent. Of course I’m getting tons of help. Norine (my amazing mom-in-law) came up yesterday and even spent the night to help me out this morn! Lisa is coming over tonight, Kathleen, Hana and Franni tomorrow night and Erin’s making Desmond and I dinner at her house on Wednesday. AND June A. made me dinner for tonight and Valerie O. is bringing dinner for tomorrow. How lucky am I?? It makes me realize I’m actually going to survive Brian being gone.
I start chemo again on Friday this week. I’m hoping and praying that Taxol will be easier than the red devil. It has to be, right?? I’m really feeling exhausted these days. Much more so than even a month ago. I guess the cumulative aspect is catching up with me. But with everyone’s help and encouragement I will be just fine. Here are some pictures from Manhattan Beach – enjoy!
