Having a great week so far

I wanted to let everyone know that I am feeling so good this week, I think they forgot to put any chemo drugs in the bag on Tues. What do you think?? Is that possible?? I have been able to get out and do lots of fun things. My Mom, Jackie and I did some Thrift store shopping on Wed. Love those 1/2 off deals on senior citizen day on Wed. We took her to lunch at Cafe 58 at the City on a Hill (the old Zeeland Hospital). We love the chicken fajita wraps there.

Thanks Jill for the dinner on Wed., loved it. Also, thanks for the candle from Spring Sweet- love that store!!

Thurs. Mieke and I did a little wedding stuff, went to the Grandville Mall. We had a tasting with a caterer. At night my co-worker Nikki was kind enough to pick me up to attend a 31 Party at another nurse friends new house in Jenison. Emily, your place is wonderful, and so was your cheesecake. I wish you the best with your wedding next month! Got a start on some Christmas shopping at the party. I had never been to one of these home parties, but it has nice stuff, bags, purses, etc. It was so fun to see so many of my co-workers there who I have not seen in a while.

Today, I ventured out with my "long" wig. One of the free ones I got from the Heights Salon. They "loaned" me two wigs through a program with the Cancer Society. All they asked is that you return them when you are finished with them. This one was brand new, it still had the tags on it. It is more comfortable than my "normal" looking one, so I wore it to coffee with friends at Good Earth, than lunch at City View, and than a Christmas Open House at Dorie's.  I have not had a wig on that long EVER. Mieke said, You had better tell people how good you are feeling on the blog, so that is what I am doing. I think all the prayers are so helping me keep going, living my life and enjoying every day to the fullest!  Tonight I am attending the Holland Christian play Bye, Bye Birdie. My "former" hairdresser Kim brought over dinner this am, plus she was kind enough to bring her little Yorkie Macy over for a visit too. Kim's first Yorkie is the reason we got Spencer. I said, I could handle a little cute dog like that. Thanks Kim for your kindness, since I have not had a reason to get my hair cut for quit some time now, we were missing catching up on "life". Kim's daughter is in the pit orchestra tonight. I am looking so forward to it.

My dear friend Joan stopped over for tea this afternoon with a Christmas goodie basket of wonderful chocolates. So good to talk with you!! They are going to come to church Sunday to hear Ross and Rumy.

Stan headed back up north to hunt more "antlers". Wish him luck.

Sara S., good night, hope you had a great day at work. It was good to see you the other night. I will now picture you reading this before you go to bed. :)   Deb

  3. Hope this "feeling good" lasts right through the Thanksgiving holiday. (When will you find out about "chemo or no chemo" next week?) We can't wait to see you then and the extended family. Only two missing...that's not bad. We'll have to Skype with Alissa and Kyle & Richenda. Have a relaxing week-end, sister.

    Love,
    Krista & Tim
