i slept a LOT this weekend, and have almost finished my current book.
back to work tomorrow for a short workweek.
blood work tomorrow (PT/INR) and wednesday (PT/INR & CBC), then a CT scan on friday. i suppose being there every other day is better than every day.

i made a trip back to that store in brookside today, then went and sat at loose park for a bit. in the car...i can't walk very far right now (if i want to breath), and it was a bit too chilly and windy for me to be outside anyway.
this is the star that i saw on teren's mom, teresa's purse at my last chemo...the same one i had seen on a wine cork at world's window.
i found the wine corks again, but also found the same star on a chain once i looked a bit closer at everything. i was hoping to find it on something other than a wine cork so that it can be hung anywhere.
even the clerks' snotty and condescending attitude could not dampen my excitement.
how could they have known how important this was to me, the story behind it, the fact that i had to wait for almost two weeks to go back because of chemo and then surgery, that this was my main goal for the day, and that it took all of my energy just to get there?
...whatever...
i just smiled, said thank you and then practically danced out of there...away from their negativity into the crisp, cool, sunny day with stars in my hand.

want me to go punch her in the nose?????
the main one was a he. but the others followed his lead.
i'm gonna 'punch' 'em with kindness and reality by going back to their store. i'll make them be nicer to me...they won't be able to help themselves.
kinda like my hedgeapple neighbor.
people need to realize that there's really no reason to be hateful and judgmental, and that life just FEELS better when you let go of your anger and hate and just open up to the world with love.
sounds hippyish, but it's true and pretty simple, really.
