Actually, its already the afternoon!
Yesterday I was able to drive down and see my brother for about 30 minutes. Most people think it might be crazy, but I think it totally worth it to drive 3 hours to see someone for 30 minutes! I haven’t seen them since January. We could not find the rest stop that the map claimed was there. I did some window shopping while waiting for them, so we met up in the parking lot of Hobby Lobby and made sandwiches! My brother is “one of those guys.” Any road trip has to be thoroughly planned and mapped waaaay ahead of time. No potty breaks unless you’re stopping for gas. Definitely no site seeing! LOL So it was nice that he stopped to see me. How random is it that we would be traveling through the same state at the same time? (yes, not random at all)
My innards are slowly healing. I’m able to walk more frequently with my dog. I haven’t needed a nap in a while, but I’ll take one if I can! The swelling is going down again. I’ve never had a flat tummy, but this is a little ridiculous. Maybe after this I’ll stick to a routine and get “Abs You Can Grate Cheese On.”
I’m planning a pre-chemo bash. Everyone is invited! June 28 from whenever to when the cops show up! It will be interesting. I have a small house, so we will be outside mostly. But I live on the side of a wooded hill. At least if someone gets drunk enough to fall down, the trees will catch them. It will also be interesting for them to see that I don’t party like that anymore.
Do yall remember those hidden pictures? The ones that look like nothing, but if you look just right, an image appears? That’s a lot like how I feel. I tilted my head slightly and had to cross my eyes, but the picture is so clear now. And then its gone again…
Mottos that I say to myself. Chin up! Keep the faith! (borrowed from my friend)

Thanks for your support -
“I’ve never had flat abs” How many times have I stood in front of my mirror and said those very words….NEVER!
I relate more to the “long haired, overfed, sleeping gnome” You may not be old enough to relate to this song reference but I am laughing myself silly at the idea of flat abs.
Glad to hear you got to see family and can walk around between naps. Man I love naps. (see post on my blog)
Keep the faith

Lisa, good to hear things are looking up for you today! Your post reminds me of something my Dad said to me when I was joking about hopefully losing a few pounds after my surgery (since they were taking stuff out, I figured it had to be logical!) Having just had surgery himself, he says, “it’s like the stuff that you buy in shrink wrap. Once they take it out, they never can get it back in JUST right!” GREAT I say. He has my sense of humor!
After my swelling went down, I did actually lose the “pooch” I had around my ab. Now that they’ve got me back on the Pill again though, I’m not sure that’ll stay away for long. It was nice while it lasted!
Have a drink for me…I’m trying to kick a cold this weekend, or I’d take you up on that offer remotely!
