The Tides of Chemo

If you read the last blog post, A Day in the Life of Chemotherapy, you know that the end of Friday was not a bright shining moment in my life. I felt pretty crappy and slept on and off most of the evening. 

Saturday picked up a little bit. We tried to go to a pancake breffis. Well, we succeeded in going there but the pancakes weren't vegan and our friend wasn't there. Then we tried to go to the farmers' market. We also succeeded marginally in that we bought some interesting lemony leafy greens, parsley and a few other greens, but we didn't really get anything else because it was all just resellers. Then we had a super fun visit with SNorine and her smooshers. We'll just let the video speak for itself:

We had lunch at Ecopolitan with William's dad and went for a walk. I didn't have a whole lot in me after that. My energy came and went a little bit but we spent the remainder of the evening at home. We watched an interesting documentary called Pink Ribbons, Inc. It's pretty slow going but about halfway through it gets into some pretty interesting stuff about what I already suspected to be true of the large breast cancer fundraising organizations.

Sunday was like a brand new day. We went to early lunch at Namaste with Amy and Steve. They made us enchiladas and Amy got to help pull out some of my hairs, which I'm sure was super fun for her! Next we went out with my family for early mothers' day brunch where the following pictures ensued! After that we drove out to Baker for long boarding and bike riding with Kristin and Gabe. It turned out to be a really great afternoon for that. We went to the coop, received a really great phone call from a far away friend, rested back home for a couple minutes and then met them back up at Common Roots along with Jackie. I started to feel pretty wiped out by the middle of the evening but it was still really nice to feel sort of back to normal.  

Now please enjoy this short clip of us being able to enjoy spring:
