Summer Oh Oh, oh, oh, summertime rolls
Well she sings a song
And I listen to what it says:
Well if you want a friend,
Feed any animal.
There's so much space
I could cut me a piece
With some fine wine
It brought peace to my mind
In the summertime,
And it rolled
Summertime Rolls - Jane's Addiction
Was back at work for a bit today. Long enough to get my desk cleared off from being gone yesterday, eat a quick vending machine lunch, and acquire a wallet full of $1 coins, which I hate for some reason...probably because they're heavier than singles and I always forget I have them thinking they're quarters.
Then it was time to head back to KCCC for part two of yesterday's chemo. More confusion & inefficiency ensued upon my arrival. I was not in the system thanks to the clinical trial coordinator who not only ordered my trial drug for the wrong date, but also neglected to inform anyone that I was coming back for more chemo today.
All was straightened out soon enough, and then I was back in the chemo room and hooked up to my pole. I rolled myself over to where Stacey was sitting in a different pod and chatted for a bit with her and her mom. They and some of the chemo nurses were without a doubt the bright spot of my return visit.
Besides seeing my co-workers and talking to Cathi, here was another bright spot in my day:
Shiny New Shoes!
I love these silly-looking shoes. I have to wear them because of heel problems. They are expensive, but excellent quality, and the next best thing to going barefoot...which I can no longer do because of the above-mentioned heel problem.
If you've never ordered from Zappo's, you should...they are amazing! After dealing with another (cheaper) company for 2 months, I gave up and cancelled my order once I finally got in touch with them after several attempts to check on the status of my order.
I placed an online order with Zappo's on Saturday, and got my shoes on Monday. Free shipping, free returns. Seriously, that saves in gas money and having to search for the right color, size, brand, price, etc. by going to one of the few stores in KC that carries this particular shoe.
All in all a good day. I'm still feeling okay for now. I took a 1.5 hour nap when I got home, which I guess I must have needed. So I am mostly tired for now, the real fun should begin tomorrow and last through the weekend.

acutuallly.... i LIKE those shoes!! those ARE cute!! and this is from the PROFESSIONAL shoe buyer!! LUV the zappos! kel, when i come in there i'll not be nice like you and tell 'em to turn the #@#$% thing off!!there ARE alot of mean, rude, selfish people in this world.....
i get the most compliments on these crazy shoes. i'd like to be able to wear flats, or plain flip flops, or cute/sexy shoes again...but they only hurt my feet. i feel so old!!!!
this lady looked nice and all. i think she just didn't realize. different people deal with things in different ways. the tv's are there for people to watch, but most of the time they're not even on...which obviously is my preference. it's a busy place, people are trying to talk, or sleep, or don't feel well.
i think a good solution would be for them to have those head phone thingys like they have in gyms or on planes so that people can watch what they want without subjecting the whole room to their dumbass choices. people are sick, they don't want to see or hear food commercials.
it's not a place anyone who is in there wants to be. it takes so much strength to keep walking in those doors. i don't think some people get that or even think about things on that level. i know it's hard to imagine what it must be like if you've never experienced it firsthand. i get that, i really do. but a little empathy and forethought can go a LONG way.
BEST OF MY MEMORY THE FEET THAT GO INTO THOSE SHOES ARE PRETTY CUTE TOO!!!! ALWAYS,D
Happy New Shoes! Hope you're doing well today.
I didn't realize how nerve wracking the quarterly blood work would be. I think I help my breath the whole time. But I got the all clear for the first time since the treatments ended. :)
