weekend out of Dodge

Some glorious friends of ours gave us an impromptu weekend at their huge cottage on Lake Michigan last weekend. It was just what we needed to kick off the summer and to get my head out of chemo-think. Here are a few photos for those of you not on facebook (ahem…Mom).

We are back to reality now. I had a long meeting at school yesterday with chemo in the afternoon. Today the familiar stinging eyes and dry mouth are here. Tomorrow will be more with some added exhaustion and Friday will be the nadir. We’re moving ahead just fine, though, and are in good spirits. I think we’ll be working on making the weekends count all summer long!
