And we are excited that it is a 3 day weekend!
I know I haven't posted anything for a while, but I hate to post whiny "I don't feel good" posts all the time! The good news is that there is only 1 more Taxol treatment, next Wednesday. The bad news is, just as I start to feel better, it makes me feel crummy again. I have really reached a low energy level, and I have less 'good' feeling days than I do 'bad' feeling days. And the lack of feeling in my feet and ankles, and now swelling in my hands and wrists is so tiresome! Oh, and maybe just a little depression? Ok, so almost done, anyway!
We have been getting out a couple times and looked for houses. We have had much better luck in Maryland, and actually tried to put an offer on a house last Saturday, but someone else beat us to it. We are trying to balance price vs. commute time, but looks like commute time will win the battle, and we will end up a little farther out than we had hoped. But, there are trade offs in that we can get closer to some recreational activities on the water, so that would be really nice. I figure it will be like the Sammamish house, the long commute is ok if the relaxation is worth it when you get home. But, we are excited to find that there are homes in our price range, which gives us some options.
Weather has been crazy here. the first Saturday we went out house hunting in MD it was a huge storm: raining, lightening, thunder, flooded roads. Then, cold all last week, below freezing, with bright sunny days and then Saturday night we got 14 inches of snow! I was feeling crappy, so never went outside in it, but by the time I went back to work on Wednesday, it was up to 50 outside, and by Thursday it was 67 degrees when I drove home. Crazy place! Now today it is going to cool down, and the weekend is supposed to be freezing again!
Off to Maryland tomorrow. Hope everyone enjoys a nice 3 day weekend, and we wish we were with Mary and Howard and Megan, who called last night to rub it in from their lanai in Hawaii where they were all sitting in the sun and sipping cold drinks! wouldn't that be nice!

Hi Beth - just read your latest blog. I can only say - the radiation is a piece of cake after your chemo. And I can say that even though I didnt get as severe a reaction as you did. When I did, I just thought "I hope the drug is doing the same to any tumor cells that may be left, as it is doing to the skin on my hands." But you are in our thoughts as you go through this. I only wish we were closer so we could give you a big hug and a kiss. Meanwhile, we take each step as progress, including getting my port a cath out last week.
We have had beautiful weather here for over a week. Up to the 70's while we were at the lake and after we came home. But the temperature dropped down yesterday, today it is clouded over and still cold. Tonight they are forecasting rain, with snow possible on Diablo, Mts. Hamilton and Tam.
While at the new hardware store yesterday, I heard the clerk telling another one that he had given his wife a trip to the islands last Valentines day and a pair of diamond ear rings this year. I asked him if he needed another wife - they both sounded great to me. Your father then remebered that Tuesday had been Valentines - I did get an apology for him forgetting. Even when I had shown him the cards sdwe received from you girls and from Cath. Oh well - too late to change him now.
Good luck on your house hunting. We have 2 that are nearing completiion of the remodeling here - but I guess that is a little too far to commute. We also saw yesterday that the Moraga Barn is finally undergoing renovation. The inside is allgutted out - haven't heard what will be done with it, but at least they are not letting it just fall down.
Love - Mom
