Yesterday I went to a big indoor jungle gym called tun fun instead of Tons of Fun. The noise inside was deafening that I went out to get earplug from the local druggist. But today is a down day as a result. I call then P-Jays days, where you wear your pajamas until lunch! My student au-pair is still with us but talking to other potential employers via Facebook. We all needed a bit of fun and a memory to store in the brain for later.
I got word from one friend that she is moving. I got word from another that a summer home to purchase in their future plans. My mother in law has just moved into a specialized hospice. And moving her possessions is proving to be challenging. I am also dreaming of moving, but no word yet if that will ever come to light.
We are only moving to our “trailer by the sea” our beach cottage for the months of July and August. If you don’t here much from me for two weeks at a time, I am officially on vacation from July 19th!
See you in September :>

Maybe OBAMA needs to read this, Hillary Clinton already gets it!
May is flying by and I am trying to shake out a new schedule. So Physical therapy had to change from Monday to Wednesday and Thursday night concerts that use to be a treat are now cramping my weekend plans. I want to get away but I know I will need Friday to recover. Traveling Friday night to the beach house is not easy for anyone especially not for 3yr old.
Just a few loose ends to tie up then we are both footloose and fancy free.
That was the comment I got from my limo driver in America. Everyone asks me about my neck brace hoping to hear a happy ending. I said I have got cancer and it is inoperable in my neck bones therefore I wear a exoskeleton brace. He jumps right in and says he was a chain smoker who quit and 2 year later they found Cancer in his voice box and has been a survivor for 5 years.
I wonder if I am jealous. Not only of him but of others who have beat this dreaded disease. Am I so self centered that I wish for it to just go away some days? Or have the glory to say, yes I beat it!
Instead I get to watch every 3 months on a scan that cancer is slowly but surely eating away at me. One nibble at a time. I am grateful that the cancer is progressing slowly and I have much capability considering I have stage 4 cancer and there is no stage 5, unless you call death stage 5.
Or am I jealous because I would love to be the person that goes on those survivor walks, and raise money for the cause and to think about it as a bad dream in the distant past and to help others to get through this breast cancer. I want to say I am free of it! My reality slaps me in the face and i say that day will never come. “Don’t look back you can never look back” Don Henley- summer of 69
Cancer is like that petal that is about to drop. You have to live in these moments, because they are gone in an instant. I just changed the header to reflect the love of my brother’s wedding. It might not stay on the site long, but it is constant reminder to me to live in the instance. Live for the single moment that does not cost money or produce a result. It just is a moment in time that needs to be cherished like music and laughter.
I saw this artist Nikki perform for a bunch of kids in a studio on Dutch television and thought it was a catchy tune. Now I start this blog with an intro from wordpress which everyone gets, but this time it has much more meaning because hello world use to be a programmers first worlds to a program. Now it is a new blog similar in nature to the program, I have fallen down and just like the lyrics to Nikki , I get back up and keep on trying.
