Home Sweeeeeeeet Home

We are HOME! We (mostly Jason) packed up and moved everything back (and boy was it a lot of stuff after 5 weeks at my mom and Rich's house). It is absolutely wonderful to be home. The girls couldn't have been happier. Talia was a dream child. We came home to a lovely Mediterranean platter and home grown tomatoes on our back porch (thank you Laura, Mac, Rye and Adrian). Our neighbors across the street delivered some ice cream goodies and we celebrated with a lovely Shabbat dinner complete with a homemade and delicious challah from Jodi, one of Talia's teachers. The evening really couldn't have been more perfect. And the sunset tonight was absolutely divine.

There is a TON of unpacking, purging (lots and lots), organizing, etc. to do, but it doesn't all have to get done right away. I have plenty of time to tackle it all.

A quick but oh so meaningful shout out to Mom and Richard. Your house was a wonderful place to heal. Thank you for the meals, laundry, tissue, walks, errands, and most of all the 5,000 trips to the grocery store to feed my growing family. THANK YOU THANK YOU!

I am looking forward to a weekend around the house, feeling my usual self. I've got 13 days until my next treatment and I have plans to really maximize it. I met with an acupuncturist today who specializes in breast cancer/chemo patients and spent two hours with her. She was wonderful and will work with me over the course of my treatment (usually the day before chemo and then during my nadir which is the term used to refer to the point when the immune system is at it's lowest - 7-12 days post chemo). She is approved by Kaiser so it's no additional cost to me, a bonus!

I am feeling pretty great today. Can't wait to climb into MY bed tonight and wake up in the morning to celebrate all over again.
