1!

Don't be surprised if you see the flash of fireworks and hear the beat of marching bands emanating from St. John's Cancer Care Center in Maplewood around ten to 4 this afternoon. That's when I plan to start celebrating the end of my radiation treatments and the beginning of my cancerfree future.
After I left the clinic yesterday, I felt very upbeat and fooled myself into thinking I was back to normal again. I charged around doing a bunch of errands (including browsing the lot at our local Ford dealership in search of a replacment for my car which died on Monday) then hit the wall hard and didn't have the energy to make the taco salad I had planned for supper. So we snacked instead. I helped Abe finish up a poster on Australian animals, looked for cars on Car Soup with Mose and hit the hay around 9:30 pm. Up at 3 (waaaaaay too early) but feeling pretty good and very ready to face this wonderful day.
