OMG It's Been Forever! in These Foolish Things

How long has it been since I’ve updated?! Forever! So much has happened since my “Nope” entry. I don’t want to forget stuff, so I’ve made a little list and I’ll have to fill in details later. Here’s what’s been going on:

Chemo #8: They are getting rougher, but I am stronger than chemo. Number 8 tried to take me down, and I gave in for a bit and slept for approximately 20 hours almost straight and then got up and got moving, literally! The move happened over the weekend and into this week. It was slow-going, but chemo didn’t keep me down, that fucker! Boom!

The Cyclist: We’ve taken things down a million notches and I’m glad. He helped me a little with my move and I was grateful for that. He may not be the perfect guy for me, but then who is? He might become a good friend; he might become more; he might disappear. All I know right now is that since I’ve moved (this week), we now live very close to each other and it’s good to know people in close proximity.

The Move: As I said above, it happened. And I actually accepted help from my brother (who was willing to do a lot more than I even asked of him), the Cyclist, my friend M. and others. And there are more people who volunteered and I love them. I want to see them all and I want to let everyone come over and help me unbox things…I just don’t know where I want to put things so that makes it difficult! Ha. I will get there.

The New Place: Oh, so MUCH to write about this! I woke up this morning in a whole new place and it felt soooooooo wonderful! My new building is a lot like living in a luxurious hotel. I haven’t lived in a concierge building in forever and I’d forgotten how nice it is to let them do little things for you! The new place should also get a whole entry. In fact, the swimming pools alone might need to get whole entries (for example, I walked over to one of the pools on Saturday and who did I see? The Bulldog?! See? Much to write!).

My New Commute to Work: Haha. I guess I’ve had it easy living downtown and commuting to a suburb for work. It was a direct shot. My new commute takes about the same amount of time but takes me on about 5 different major highways with loop de loops and merges and lots of other wild gyrations. I actually got lost on my way to work this morning.

Thoughts on Travel: So many peeps are out and about and traveling all over the world and I have thoughts. Yeah, I’m a little jealous and I want to be done with this treatment so I can go, go, go… but I have to wait a little longer. But where to go once this treatment is done…

Anyway, just a few things I’m thinking about right now. I won’t have internet in my new place until tomorrow after work, but I wanted to pop on and say that I’m still here and I’m still going and I want to write and write and write about it all!

Sending tons of love,
