second star to the right and straight on till morning

hello hello


It's July.  Holy balls.  Time is eluding me.  If it's the price I must pay then please take, take, take.  But it's a sharp reality that I have to accept every time I check a calendar.  Time and life moves forward even when I'm not on board. 


We are progressing forward with treatment - hooray.  This round is tiring.  I am not sure it's all chemo that's putting me on my tushy or if it's also the fading of the beginners rush.  I've had some try outs to star in the exorcism this round.  It sucks.  I am not graceful when it comes to kneeling at the porcelain idol.  I tried to hide it the first few times, but then I reverted to childhood and called for my mommy.  Dr. Mom has that special touch.  Even at 24, a girl needs her mom.  Dad's specialty is entertaining me at the treatments; he's a chatty cathy so I can lie back and listen.  One of the many things that I love most about my relationship between my dad and I is the unspoken communication that we have.  (Mom - I know it drives you nuts.)  But my dad and I have a series of looks.  True most are at others detriment, but all the same they tend to create laughs for us.  If there is any where on earth that needs laughs it is the doctor's office.  I complain about my parents but I'd be lost without them.


Yesterday I got to meet my virtual pen pal.  He recently went through this "journey" (I hate that metaphor but I went brain dead) with blood cancer and is on the road they deem "survivorship."  He's great for words of wisdom and laughs.  It was a pure delight to put a face to the email chain and to meet my Mr. Miyagi.  He took me to a movie filming and it was a fantastic time.  Truly was.  For those who know celebrities I brushed shoulders with Sienna Miller.  I was more interested in the filming, set and such, but it is as close to Jude Law as I'll get. hehe


P.S.
A quick update on my friend Kim.  She is doing much better.  I smile when I hear updates on her because I think of her so much.  She still has a lot of healing, strengthening and mending to do but the trooper that she is has brought her through these times.  It's not my story to tell but I wanted you all to know that she's moving forward beautifully.  Thanks for the happy thoughts sent to Kim.  


If nothing ever changed, there would be no butterflies.
