It's been a REALLY good weekend....

The 4 day weekend we scheduled has been a real blessing for me.  I am SO glad I requested Friday off as a vacation day WEEKS ago...long before my diagnosis.

The New Year holiday was nice and lazy. I was finally able to shower for the first time since the 4th biopsy. It was heaven.  Made my black eye pea and ham soup with collard greens, and corn bread on the side.  Watched the Vienna philharmonic annual New Years day broadcast.

Then, the day after (the vacation day), we got out and did all of our errands.

There was an ice storm in the forecast, so we got out and made sure we had everything we'd need for the entire weekend.

I didn't feel any anxiety at all, all day on Friday.  It was great.

Thankfully, no ice ever came. That was a good thing.

We had planned to play some board games and such over the course of the weekend, thinking we'd be iced in....but instead, we decided to watch  ALL of the episodes ever made of the tv show "Firefly."

It was really good!  Very well written and fun.  Really wonder why it was cancelled so quickly.

The games never got dusted off, but that's okay. We had a great time.

Anyway, by and large, I only needed two little pieces of Xanax....equivalent to one half of one pill....and that was all..... on Saturday.

Not sure why I felt so anxious yesterday, but am very glad I have medication that works to help me deal with it.

As far as I am concerned, Xanax is a gift.  A miracle.

I slept an average of 10 hours each night during this long weekend, too.  SO very needed!!!

Glad tomorrow is just an ordinary Monday.  Kind of looking forward to it.
