Lazy Saturday...

Gosh did it EVER feel good. Why can't you have a lazy day like this when you are supposed to be on vacation? All I could dream about doing when we went to the beach was having a day like this, so I was really happy to get one today. I got to sleep till almost 9 am. Amazing. I was up a bit beforehand, but lucky for me, Kate wanted to watch Dora in bed, so she watched a good epi or 2, and then we got up and had some delicious breakfast. The bacon never tasted so good. After that, and one cup of coffee, I could be heard saying how tired I was. heee heee...we ended up watching a few movies, and then we all took showers and headed out for some late day afternoon errands. Man was it nice to just take our time today.

Mike and I are finishing up Avatar now, and then we are headed to bed. Mom is coming over to get her hair cut tomorrow. I hope it goes okay for her. Speaking of mom...I took her to the hospital yesterday for her post chemo shot. She told me on the phone prior to me coming that she was a little lightheaded. So imagine my surprise to see her come out of her house with her neighbor (she had told me to honk when I got there, otherwise I would have helped her!) she was using her neighbor as a crutch. I ended up having to get a wheelchair when we got there as she was very weak, and almost fell a couple of times. Not what you want to see your normally very active mom doing. She was warned to stay out of her dirt since there is a lot of bacteria in it, and sister came home last night to see she had been sitting in the yard with her gloves on, and they were covered in dirt. Bless her heart for feeling better to go dig, but shame on her for not listening to the rules!

The shot she got is supposed to signal her bone marrow to produce more so that she has lots of new cells made to continue to fight since the chemo is used to attack all of the cells in her body. We are hoping that in a few days her hips hurt like hell. If they do, that means the shot worked, and the bone marrow is producing! I haven't decided if I will post pics of her hair or not, that will be up to her if she wants me to or not.
