How to explain my hesitancy in communicating two ways with friends? I think it is all about simplifying. Sometimes, this knowledge I have about my likely lifespan, overwhelms me. I've dropped email lists, have given and sold alot of my library, thrown out half my kitchen, and donated clothes to Goodwill. I haven't called my half brother back or written my cousins (all 3 that still talk to me). Alot of times, I just don't feel so great. Chemo puts me down for at least a week. I fatigue relatively easy. I can't really say if these are the reasons, but they are what I suspect.

Devon and I had a wonderful day last Sunday. We first stopped for a sushi snack at Zen Sushi . ( I used to LOVE sushi now I generally feel lukewarm about it)  They have something called the Pacific Roll which is just amazing. The only things that I can remember that are in it (besides the obvious rice and seaweed) are tempura sweet potato and lobster mousse. Its definitely one of the rolls where you have to pop the whole thing in your mouth to really experience what it is. Then we went to JC Penny (where Devon is currently enslaved) because they were having a great employee sale. I got a beautiful embroidered comforter/quilt for my couch (ie bed), an Oster 3 in 1 beeline blender, a nice pair of pants  and shirt  and sweater  (my first unused outfit in years), and a set of huge drinking glasses. She took me to this store she loved, Hollister.  I haven't been to a mall in years so everything looked all new and crazy to me. (same experience when I went in a Best Buy recently) Then we went to eat at Bouchon downtown but they were closed. We decided to succumb to chain madness as we had never heard of Longhorn Steakhouse. Everything was wonderful and I fell in love with the Firecracker Chicken Wraps. Then home to marvel over how much money we shouldn't have spent.

Tuesday I went in for a brain MRI and Yeah...I am still cancer free up there. So it looks as if the headaches may be tied into the steroids. My dr. says its just something that I have to deal with and loaded me up with oxycodone. Friday, I had labs and my wbc and hemoglobin are pretty much inline with what they were last time at this point in the cycle.

I am so happy! My ex is coming for Thanksgiving. He will arrive on Wednesday and stay till Saturday. It will be so nice to spend some time with him. He is also bringing all the stuff I left up in Detroit, so that will be cool.
