This past weekend was wonderful! I felt the best I've felt since about January on Saturday. And even better, the weather in Longview was gorgeous! I think it got up to about 81! That should make anyone feel good!
Rich, one of Joe's fraternity brothers, was with us all weekend. He had to give a presentation in Portland on Saturday, so he came down and stayed with us. They had a lot of fun and it was great to see him and here about the latest and greatest in Pullman. After graduation in May, everyone we went to school with will be gone. That seems so weird! Joe went with Rich to Portland all day and I went to watch Spencer and the twins play t-ball. They were sooo fun to watch! Later that night we all went for dinner at Joe's Crab Shack. It felt so good to eat outside and not have to wear a coat! We had a late dinner then went to another fraternity brothers house and hung out with him and his wife until after midnight. We had a great time, and it was the first time in a long time that I actually felt normal and alive again. I think I did too much on Saturday though, because I was totally exhausted yesterday. It's just so hard to "take it easy" when I actually feel good. I haven't had a good day like that in literally months!!
In other news, I worked from WORK today. It felt so good to get up, get dressed and go. I even drove myself! I figure I better take advantage of having my license just in case I don't pass my test on Friday morning! :) I planned on working all day so I went home for lunch, but on the way back, I was so tired I just couldn't go. In fact, I was so tired I didn't think I could even make it back to my house, so I drove up to mom and dad's and passed out for about 2 hours. I wish they could give me an energy pill or something!
I'm going to work again tomorrow because I'm not sure what the rest of the week will be like. And other than being totally exhausted, I'm feeling pretty good. On Wednesday I have to have my PICC line put in. I'm not looking forward to that at all. I called today and they said it will take about 4 hours. Then I have to be back down on Thursday for my second chemo. If it's anything like last time, I'm going to be out of it after that for about a week. Not fair!
Joe and I really want to go to Pullman this coming weekend. It's Founder's Day and the last time we'll get to see everyone before graduation. I just don't know how I'll be feeling. It doesn't take too much energy to sit around and hang out though....it's just the drive I'm worried about.
Alright, time for bed. I can hardly keep my eyes open as I write this! It's so weird that I can sleep for 10 hours and still wake up exhausted. I can't wait for April to be over!
