Time for a break!!!

Hello friends.  I have gotten a little lazy and have not blogged like I should of.  I had the awesome pleasure of seeing some of my followers yesterday at church and I didn't realize how much you look forward to reading  this?  I really appreciate it.  I will try to do better.   I got a little lazy and a little boring!!!

So today I promised I would get back to business.   I just happen to be sitting in beautiful hotel room, looking out over the ocean watching the sunrise.  There is nothing more beautiful.  God is so good. We came to the beach for a few days.  The main reason is Katie just happened to of found her wedding dress at Myrtle Beach for now we have to make a couple of trips down  for her to have her fittings.  Darn.

Today is one of the fitting days.  We all decided to stay a few extra days just to get a way and relax. It is going to be a great few days.  The only thing missing is Derek. He had Spring break last week.  We miss him.  But like I told Glenn....we all had to pay our dues growing up and missing out.  One day he will be finished and grown and can do things on his time too.   I highly suggest it.

I have been doing really good.  I had two treatments on the new meds.  I have 10 more.  So far I have not had any problems.  They tell me the side effects from this is mainly bone and joint pain, numbness in hands and feet.  So far I  have none.  Thanks be to God!

The new room is coming a long slowly.  It is a full room roof and sheet rock...they just need to come finish it!!  I am getting impatient. I Have so much  to do when it is finished!!!

Well...I am finding that chemo brain is a real thing.  I have always been a little ditsy (like Lucy)  but it is beginning to get a little more noticeable.  I booked our room for this weekend.  I thought I was being very careful.  You see Glenn usually handles everything like this but I thought I can handle it.  We get to our hotel and Glenn goes to check in.,  He is gone a long time..   he comes back to the car and says.."well we are staying in this section tonight and then across the road the other two nights, What????  we are supposed to be across the road all nights!!  Poor Glenn...he just said the reservations were made for Monday thru Thursday instead of Sunday thru Wed.  They happened to have one cancellation for Sunday night otherwise they were totally booked.  Oh my goodness!!  I messed up!!!!

Glenn told me later that he felt so bad to have to tell.  me.  He has been noticing some things that I do or say that is not me and knows that it is the chemo.  This makes him sad.  Sometimes we forget about this sickness.  I feel so good most of the time and the only obvious sign that I am sick is that my hair is gone. We forget I have a real disease I am  fighting.  Fighting everyday to try to be as normal as possible.  Even here at the beach I fightng with what to wear on my head.. my hat my wig..what will not go flying off in all this wind?   Just hold on to whichever it is.   I need a new hat so Katie and I saw a couple in the store last night.  She said try it on..so I yanked off my my hat and put the other one on.   She has never seen me bald.  Oh no  this was it.   She was not prepared.  I try to respect her or anyone else who just wants to remember me in a somewhat normal way.  Think we will go hat shopping today.

We had a great Easter with all the fam at Sharon's house yesterday.  Lots of good food.  Lots of animals on the farm. It was a wonderful day...but we had to eat and run to begin our Spring break.  Sometimes you just gotta be a selfish do what you want to do!!!

Have a great week everyone.  I will promise to post more.  I guess since I don;t have a lot going on I had little to blog about.  I will do better.  Thank you all for caring and letting me share this part of my life.

LOve to all!!  Mel
