Gettin' ready for Round 2

My sister Beth left last night, her flight was delayed and didn't depart until 2:15 am, poor Jerry had to take her to the airport while the rest of us slept.  My brother Edwin drove in from SOCAL yesterday to spend the day with us.  He bought tickets to a Spring Training game (GO ANGELS!) - but unfortunately I was not up to sitting in the sun.  He and Beth went by themselves and had a good time, even though the Angels lost.  I had a chance to visit with Edwin last night while both Beth and Jerry caught a cat nap prior to departing to the airport.  It was great to catch up with one of my siblings I rarely get a chance to spend quality time with.  His visit was short, but sweet.  I'm so grateful that Beth took a whole week off and came to visit - I know she went crazy with all the Reality TV shows - but she was a trooper. I still have hope that she will someday cross over and embrace this form of entertainment.   It was a good time for her to come, I was able to drive for the first time - so we did a little shopping together at the local resale shops.  On Thursday night I had Jerry "buzz" my head, even as short as I went prior, it was still annoying as it was coming out.  I have cut Jerry's hair for the past 8 years, so we already owned a set of clippers.  As Jerry was "clipping", he stopped and said "this is something I NEVER thought I'd do to you".   I was glad we were able to do this together - not sure I would have been comfortable at a local barber.  Both Jerry and Beth complimented the new look - it doesn't look as bad as I thought it would - click here.  The very next day Beth and I ventured out - I wore a bandana - it was important for me to get out in public wearing a head wrap or I feared I would lose my courage.  On Saturday my neighbor Michelle, called and asked if she could drop something off.  She arrived with six of the "COOLEST"  extra large head wraps I've every seen.  She went to a local fabric store and purchased some "edgy" fabrics with skulls.  I was so touched and they are exactly what I've been looking for - I absolutely love every single one of them.  Her timing couldn't have been better as I start my second round of treatments this coming Tuesday.  I feel both physically and mentally stronger as I go into this next round of treatments, as well as I have an idea what to expect.  Jerry has the week off, so he'll be able to sit with me during my treatments.  Kyle's off school this week, Jerry's taking him up to Flagstaff on Monday to get one last snowboard outing in before it all melts.  We went to church this morning, I wore a head wrap (don't worry - one without skulls) - spent the remainder of the day just chilling!
