Pre Cruise weekend

OK, it’s time to relax, visit, chill out. What better way to do that than have a girlfriend arrive to help rearrange your house and maybe even paint? Here comes Molly, bearing gifts, friendship and love. We cook, eat, laugh. Don and Molly have sent an Ipod nano as an early 50th birthday present to help during travel and chemo. Michele and the office staff have already delivered a Kindle for travel and chemo distraction. I’m having to really step up my techno skills : )

I had decided that the guest room needed to be rearranged and a new paint color chosen and Molly is the perfect girl for the job. She is really ready to go and has even brought paint clothes. While out buying paint on Saturday, we decide that I need some clothes for my cruise. Need something comfy for the car rides and treatment day. No problem. All shopping missions accomplished.
We get home, have Jim move frames around for us, rearrange the guest room and make dinner. Sunday morning I head to church and Molly starts painting. Wow! Before she leaves the room is done except for a few touch ups Jenna and I provide as the room dries.

Jenna and I spend Sunday afternoon getting ready for our drive on Monday. We have decided that we’ll drive to Chapel Hill (about 4 hours) on Mondays and return as soon as treatment is completed on Tuesdays. We all agree that we are as prepared as we can be, time to jump in and see how it goes.
