C'mon now and hurry up....

2014.03.16

A sunny Sunday has gone by and it is one day closer to the finish line.

Slept pretty well, restlessness is still a part of me. I am a person to be on the move 150% of the time. This 0% is getting me down but forcing me to find a way to handle it.

Pills and needles to start the day and I feel well with more energy than yesterday. The swelling in my neck has gone down a lot which is also quite surreal. By 9:30 we have already gotten all the bedrooms in order for the visit of my parents tomorrow.

The rest of the day was looming large. There is only so many things to do at home that crave minimal energy input:

1. EATING (many small meals, cereal, the occassional scoop of ice cream from B&J, crackers with aged whisky cheddar cheese, tortillas, cranberry juice and so on.)
2. WATCHING TV (how many mediocre movies and programs can there be on tv?)
3. RECLINING ON THE COUCH (gently closing my eyes but still able to hear the premier league commentators in Swedish giving the play by play of some important game {according to Peter})
4. CHECKING IPHONE (messages, texts, FB chats, phone calls - all in a little slower tact)
5. WALKING ( a walk in the morning with my youngest son was envigorating)

Red Sea, Egypt 2010

Thailand 2010. 

I appreciate that I am feeling relatively good so far and realize it probably won't last so I am trying to focus on the positive things like all the places we have been in the world and which ones I want to visit again. Maybe I can make some photobooks of our travels.......

Barcelona........on my list to visit again.

My friends and family are checking in on me and giving me pep talks and that is giving me energy. GRATEFUL.

LOVED. LIFE. TRAVEL. MARATHON. RELAX. FRIENDS. KICK CANCER'S ASS.
