Wednesday came and went

We are enjoying the current break.  I can't figure out how we had time for chemo and the down days after, we seem to be very busy these days. It is still hard feel like taking a break is a good thing when it comes to fighting this cancer so I try to do my three jobs: eat, maybe a little better these days, drink lots of water and exercise.  Trying to walk more since that is something I can control.  I lost some of my routine so have to think hard to call on my minions to continue their work and do my guided imagery. Every so often I look in the mirror and let my fuzzy head (not to mention my neuropathy) remind me that I still have cancer and need to rally mind, body and spirit in defense of my body.Your support continues to buoy my spirit.  Next update after CT scan and visit to Dr Dan Wednesday June 29th.

We helped Sue's cousin Nancy unpack after her June 1 move to Hudson.  We were pooped.  She is settled in now.  She is still trying to figure out where we put things and is waiting for pictures to be put on the walls.  She seems happy and all her relatives are happy that she lives closer to us.

Mary McDougall's niece and niece's husband are comedic/physical theater performers who did a show at the Ordway during the Flint Hills Children's Festival.  Called "Air play" they worked with fans and body comedy to create a show with balloons, umbrellas, kites, confetti and fabrics as air sculptures that was entertaining for big and little kids.  Not sure whether is was more fun to watch the show or her parent's and the children in the audience whose faces lit up over and over again.

Other things to keep us busy:  Two Lynx home games and now 11 straight wins to open the season, a WNBA record.  Diary of a Wimpy Kid at the Children's Theater was lots of fun.  We met up with Carolyn Levy and Sheldon Berkowitz, Kim Koeppen, Mark Olson, Jeff and Lisa Post, Toni Holweger and Kae Lovaas for a variety of meals--breakfasts lunches and dinner.  We met Jeff and Lisa at the St Croix casino in Turtle Lake and 10 minutes at the penny slots netted Nancy $100.  Not bad for a $3.00 investment.  We had fun at Kelly Keil's graduation party (with photo booth) but are sad that the Keils are moving to Georgia.  We look forward to seeing them when they are back in town for visits.

Marjorie and Franck were here from France for two days on their way to Seattle.  Marjorie is Nancy's cousin and Franck is her husband.  His daughter, Emma,  spent a year with Scott and Debbie for her final year of high school.  We had a delightful visit.

Throw in a few massages, walks and work on trying to get the pool up and running for one last summer and we find ourselves busy and tired.  It is all good, and I am grateful to be busy and tired because we are doing things instead of tired from chemo.  Here's hoping for a long break.
