Hi, everyone! Sorry I haven't been posting as often as usual lately. My best friend, Tammy has been off work last week and this week (until March 14), so she's been keeping me busy. We've gone thrift-store shopping, planning our trip to Daytona for bike week, visiting her Dad's grave site, and basically just hanging out. It's been a lot of fun, but I don't have too much time to sit down and get onto the computer lately.
So, needless to say, I haven't been feeling too badly. I got my herceptin injection today. No bad side-affects. It usually just makes me feel a little light-headed for about an hour afterwards, so Tim took me to Lowe's to look at bathtubs, sinks, etc. for our upstairs, and so I rode around in the little handicapped cart. It was fun, but I kept hitting things when I turned, because it turned SO sharply. It was funny.
Oh, and my doctor agreed to postpone next week's chemo treatment until the week after bike week, so I wouldn't feel sick in Daytona. YAY! She said I wasn't allowed to make it a habit, though. I told her that I called Daytona's mayor and tried to get them to reschedule bike week around my treatment schedule, and he actually told me that because there were so many other people in the United States that had already taken vacation time and made plans for that week that rescheduling was out of the question. Go figure.... lol! So, I guess I'm not as important as I thought! lol. j/k
Not too much going on right now. Tim's taking time off work to grow out his beard before bike week, and using the time to work on our upstairs. It's going slowly but surely. Not fast enough in my opinion, but I am not really known for my patience.
In other news, Tim and I took the girls to a Monster Truck Jam last Saturday. It was so much fun!!!! Even Ashleigh got into it. I thought Carley's eyes would bug out of her head. A good time was had by all. We watched busses get smashed by monster trucks, we saw a couple of them flip over, one broke an axle, one lost an entire wheel and kept going. One even caught on fire and the guy dove out the window. Very exciting show, let me tell you! So, it was a fun way to spend the weekend.
For those of you not in Florida right now, the weather has been beautiful! I took the top off my jeep yesterday, and it was actually hot out today! I don't know how long this will last, but we're loving it! I drove my little cart through the garden section of Lowe's today, just to smell the spring flowers.... I'm so excited about planting flowers and I want a garden... I just don't have a place for it, because the squirrels will eat anything I plant. Little buggers.
Oh, and in other news, Tammy and I are talking about opening up a flower shop. She used to own one and had to sell it when her Dad got really sick about 10 years ago. But since I'm prior military, I may be eligible for a government small business grant. I'll have to do some research, but if we can get the money and find a location, we would like to go into business together. There is so much growth in our area right now, that we should be able to find a good location close to our houses, hopefully. Like I said, I'll have to do some more research on the subject. I'll keep you all updated on that.
I guess that's about it for now. Hope everyone's doing well. Love, ~Brenda
