Not much new to report. Had a mini-breakdown this morning because L had his Hanukkah skit and I had herceptin. Fortunately, Dr. A’s office was able to get me in and out very quickly (almost 45 minutes earlier than I’ve been averaging on herceptin-only days) and I made it with about 2 minutes to spare. I loved the look on L’s face when he saw me sitting in the audience. It is what makes me put one foot in front of the other on the days that I just don’t want to do anything. Like I said last time, those little everyday miracles are there if you are looking.
C is in India right now on business, and we miss him terribly. But, it is a feel good week, and I am strong and getting things done. I got a whole mess of laundry folded and put away, and the boys got their things put up too. I like when I can get small things scratched off the to-do list. I also think that I found someone to help me around the house so that things like laundry, vacuuming and clearing out the refrigerator get done regularly. A big special thank you to JFG for your matchmaking skills there.
OK, that’s the update. Nothing profound, but just a nice, quiet, good day with a happy surprise thrown in for good measure.

I just caught up on several weeks of your postings. THANK YOU for writing! I got to celebrate Hanukkah last weekend with lots of extended family members in PA with my husband and daughters (no son – had to work). Being with family is the best. Wishing you and your family a fantastic rest of Hanukkah, and especially a great 2010, filled with good times and good health!

Holy crap, my sister-from-another-mother. I had no idea we were living parallel lives. I wish you peace and family and happy togetherness and lots more blog posts because I think I love you.
