Giving Thanks!

What a fantastic Thanksgiving! At first, I was very disappointed because I couldn't make it out to my brother's house this year. So we celebrated here in Houston at my son's house. Sue, my daughter-in-law, did a fantastic job with the food and made it all look like a page from Martha Stewart! I tasted everything on the table... spent several hours digesting and talking.. and then made my escape just as the younger generation was diving into Nick's famous eggnog! That was a task better left to them!!

Monica, Garrett and E came in from Dallas for Thanksgiving and stayed to help with the packing! Anyone who has ever been in my apartment would appreciate the daunting task of packing it all for storage - it was overwhelming for me to even think about it, but Nick, Sue, Monica, E, Garrett and Gordon... did it!! They were an awesome team.. and even let me keep my rocks! (ok... that IS a story for another day!) There are still a few loose ends, but most of it is packed and ready for a storage unit by mid-December!

The good and bad news is... I was able to help, because ONCE AGAIN MY CHEMO WAS POSTPONED!! It worked out for the better this weekend, but is becoming a real frustration - getting totally psyched for it and then it doesn't happen! This time, I went in for the bloodwork on Friday expecting my next treatment. Then after waiting four hours, was told that my doctor had noted that my dosage needed to be adjusted, but hadn't updated the order! They tried, but weren't able to reach him, so I would have to wait until he returns from the holidays! At this point, I just want to get on with it...

Still, I had a wonderful Thanksgiving with loved ones ... and am ready for the move... so I am a lucky duck!!

BTW - HAPPY ST. ANDREW'S DAY /TEXAS DAY OF THE SCOTS!!
