Week one is officially complete! Part of what got me through this week was knowing my longest friend (33 years and counting!) was coming to town, and she certainly didn't disappoint. We spent the weekend taking care of ourselves, staycation style, in a hotel. Not only did we enjoy a decadent dinner, complete with a bottle of wine, we enjoyed relaxing on the river. The time went by waay too fast though. It's amazing how quickly the switch is flipped and I can go from relaxation to worrying about what lies ahead.
In other news, it appears I may or may not have tact when talking to people. In general, I have a tendency to talk to random people. These days, given the proper scenario, I can have word vomit and talk nonchalantly about having cancer. Watching people's reactions is quite interesting, almost a sociological study of sorts. Turns out people don't really know how to react. After my appointment, Annie and I stopped in the Cancer Center for a quick snack from the vending machines. We had been hanging out, laughing and eating, for a good 15 minutes when along came a middle aged woman. "Is it okay if I use the machine?" she asked. "Of course," I responded. "We're just hanging out here, really." "Aren't you a little young to be hanging out next to the vending machines?" "Ah, well we are old souls. Plus, technically I have cancer of the old ladies. So really I'm about 70 years old, I just look really good for my age." Crickets... The woman retrieved her vending machine snack, gave me an awkward head nod and smile, and fled the scene of the crime.
