Today I went to church with my kids, friend, and sister in law. We drove to Corona to try out Crossroads, which is a humongous church. The guest speaker was Brian Welch from the band Korn. Now I've never been a fan of Korn (mostly because of the spelling, haha) but it was really cool to hear his testimony and how he came to God. When it came time for prayer requests, my friend whispered to me and asked if we should go put in a prayer for me. I whispered back "what for?" and literally took a second and said "oh right, I have cancer" and we chuckled. I was so tied up in everybody else's problems and praying for them, I kinda forgot my own. Even with a partially numb face, bad heartburn, a chest pain, a really itchy head, and a weird taste in my mouth, I managed to forget. I'm really looking forward to dinner with my family tonight because it is truly just too infrequent that we get to do that. I want to cherish every moment. I have the week to rest.
I felt yucky all the way through Friday night and was really worried that this weekend was going to be harder than I had expected. It really bummed me out. But Saturday I woke up and I pounded a bottle of water, and I instantly knew it was going to be a better day because I had a hard time even drinking water this week. I was right, it was a great day. Chris' 30th birthday celebration was amazing. The weather was absolutely gorgeous by the water. I loved the feeling of the sun on my skin, even if it made my wig really hot. The food was delicious, and the company was the best. I felt well enough to smile all day and well into the night.

Aubrey has Minimum days tuesday and Wednesday this week, (CAHSEE testing)I think they get our at 11:45. Can you come over after school and play with the grils? Office staff does not get out early so it will just be her but she can drive my car. Text me and let me know if you have a preferred day.

Very glad to hear you are still thinking of others first - not that you don't have every right to be completely selfish right now, but sounds like the thinking of others is working for you and your mental perspective! I already said it, but will again - think you are amazing.
