Hey you guys!! I'm here -- at my mom's -- had internet issues and busy-ness yesterday. Chris, welcome back! Sounds like a fantastic trip! I have heard it's crazy non-stop on that trip, but of course the people I knew had a flight, not a super long bus ride to boot!! You must be exhausted -- it's sure a good thing you aren't working this weekend!! Good to know you had some fun with the adults on the trip -- that can make or break an event, can't it? I'll bet you got plenty of good exercise walking around and just moving around for so many hours each day. I wouldn't sweat it -- pun intended!!
Joanne, it was fun to hear about going to work the other morning with all the fans out in their jerseys. How fun!!
My mom looks much better than I had feared she might. Her spirits are good, too. She's a trooper. Larry, being the Larry that he is, right away got the low down from first a doctor and then a nurse. (He knows the nurses are the ones who really know the scoop, Chris!
) The dr. he talked to was not an oncologist, and he gave Larry some wisdom that Larry thought made a lot of sense.... he said oncologists have to be optomists or they wouldn't have any business.... no one would take treatment. So, that helped us with some perspective. The nurse, Chris, reminded me of you in some way -- I guess her eyes and the way she talked to us -- sensitive, but with some humor too -- anyway, we talked to her quite a while -- she was so nice -- and I just wanted to hug her at the end, because I felt some connection with you.
I can give anyone any more details, if you're interested, but not sure you are. And it's ok if you're not! I understand.
I brought a few workouts with me, so yesterday I did the new Tracie Long that is sort of yoga -- called Reach Further -- I liked it, though it's not getting great reviews. I think people thought it was a "stretch" and it's more of a workout (though only 30 minutes). Today I started doing a bodyrock that's really cool, but Larry woke up and wanted me to walk to Starbuck's with him, so I only got through about 10 minutes of it. That's fine..... I knew it would be a light week and I'm ok with that.
Larry and the boys are flying home tonight. The drive down was fine until Santa Barbara, and then completely miserable. What should have taken about an hour took 2-1/2, so I decided they should fly home, and hopefully it won't be so bad for me driving home sometime in the week and earlier in the morning.
Have a nice Sunday! Waves to Hottie. Did you get to NJ? Cryptic messages on fb.....
