CLEAR!

They called me with the scan results on Friday morning!

ALL IS STILL STABLE!!

That's a full year without chemo, and with no changes.

My nurse was surprised by a fax that came less than an hour after my scans were completed.  We had just finished breakfast, and were headed home, when she called.

I figured the radiologist wanted to get his holiday weekend started, so he read the films right away.

What a lovely way to start vacation, without having to wonder about the results for the first three days!

I see the doc a week from Thursday, and will ask some questions about how much longer we need to do the monthly injections, and if maybe I can get the port out now without too much worry about needing it again.

The wedding rehearsal and ceremony the next day were sort of a cluster f*ck of disorganization and people not showing up, but, in the end, it went just fine.

If I can get permission to share some of the pictures Dave took, I will add them to this post.  Oh, look....permission is granted:

It was a pretty day, if a little windy. I messed things up a little during the blessing, but I don't think it mattered.

After the ceremony, our neighbors invited us to come hang out.  This was a first, and it was so nice!  They grilled up some chicken, and we brought potato salad and beers.

We've lived here for 8 years, and this is the first time we've had any social interaction with a neighbor.

Then, we came back to the house and got into the hot tub.  Ahhh.......

Today is a holiday for Christians, but for us, it will be yard work and grocery shopping at last.

The lawn really needs to be mowed.

It's supposed to start raining tomorrow night, and not really stop until Thursday, so we have to mow today, or spread it out over today and tomorrow.

I also REALLY want to get my herb garden in, put a barrier around my mint patch, and set up some container gardens during this coming week.

I got a cool stackable container garden thing in which I want to put strawberries and herbs, and maybe a trailing something in the bottom, like zucchini.  I'll place the stack in the end of the herb bed, so that whatever trails can run along the ground.

If it's raining, we now have half of a car port available for working outdoors in the rain.

We also might get the fence fixed this week, using some of the money Dave got for his car.  Our handy man hasn't given us a time yet, though, so we'll see.

It's a sunny, windy day today, and should be in the 70s by afternoon.  Enjoy your Sunday!
