I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. We had a successful dinner at our house (the first time we hosted) and the turkey I co-cooked with my inlaws turned out juicy and delicious! I was thrilled and mostly I was so appreciative of all of our guests for how much everyone pitched in to make it a truly EASY evening. We really spent most of the time just hanging out and being together, exactly what we all wanted.
I am finally feeling better from that cold. It has taken 10 days and I've got some residual symptoms but today was the first day I felt well enough to get back in the pool and swim my 1/2 mile. I was thrilled to get moving again.
It's hard to believe tomorrow is December and Hannukah starts in less than 2 weeks. Time is just moving so quickly, which is truly a blessing. Talia and I started a calendar to hang on the fridge that she can mark off each day to count down to her birthday and also the end of chemo for me. She loves drawing the X through each square and I also find it quite satisfying. :-)
I've got a low key week ahead of me - just taking it easy in the wake of the cold and then Friday Jason have a night away from the girls and we plan to have a nice dinner and hang out and enjoy some time together. Thank you Sue for taking them!
Onward and upward...
