Waiting, to feel like myself, whatever that is. I know, I'm dreadfully impatient. I can handle the prickly head, the no eyebrows or eyelashes, the runny nose and eyes. But if anyone knows where my real tastebuds are, can you please return them?
Dave and I spent 4 days in the Land of Mouse (Orlando), just returning in the wee hours today. We had a fabulous trip across Florida just to have dinner at one of our favourite places, Frenchie's Rockaway Grill on the beach in Clearwater. Nothing like watching the sunset and having dinner right on the beach with the warm breeze reminding you that only yesterday you were freezing your butt off! I figure my 'taste-o-meter' is at about 80% but still not enough to risk wasting a good glass of wine or beer just in case. However, the Cajun scallops Dave ordered were pretty good and my beloved grouper sandwich and clam chowder were good enough that I ate most of it. Other things though, still can't cut it and it's sure disappointing when you're all ready for something mouth watering that doesn't taste just quite right. Oh well, I blew all sensibility out of the water and did some major shopping for the babies for Christmas - I love being able to buy spring clothes in December! Orlando's pretty high on the 'tacky' side with everything bowing to the Lord of Disney but you can actually buy stuff without Mickey on it if you look hard enough. We had some fun times with the racing group from Ontario that were at the show and I finally decided that I NEVER want to live in Florida... South Carolina for me all the way. After landing last night after midnight and walking what seemed like from Windsor through the terminal, we finally got home about 2:15am and crashed, but good! I was sorry I didn't have the energy for the drive to Cayuga for the kids Christmas party but we did manage to get to the local market and get a Christmas tree to put up tonight after Dave gets home from hockey - I'll do some pleading and get him to light a fire while we decorate it and then - maybe - I'll start to feel Christmas-y. This week will be my week to get into the spirit, wrap some
presents, write Christmas cards and finish my shopping, I hope! My next Herceptin treatment is Thurs but they tell me there are no side efffects with this stuff on it's own - I'm counting on that! Well, better bring some boxes of decorations upstairs and get ready for the big transformation!!!!
