Send Me the Moon

(Sara Bareilles lyric - go listen, it's lovely.)

I have been a hermit the past three days.  Hermits must be the loneliest creatures on the planet.  No wonder they don't run off when people are willing to pay attention to them and paint their shells.  If it means attention then so be it.  I babble.  What I mean to say is that locking myself in to stay away from germs takes its toll.

Friday was easy to play Rapunzel because I was beat from a round of sleep-inducing pre-chemo drugs and the poison itself.

Saturday was a bit tougher because I had the choice of going out.  I wanted to but bit my lip and did what's right.  Stayed in.  A few of the older nurses clucked at me a few times with lines of "those young patients always run into the same issues... not minding the guidelines..."  Nags.  haha I hate that I listen, but they have seen it all.

Today I am going stir crazy.  It's one of my sullen days.  It's beautiful outside.  I know it, I can see it and feel it.  But I just don't care.  I just feel fuzzy and dull.

Tomorrow I am breaking the rules and going downtown!  The plans are my silver lining to this weekend.  One of my best friend's in town and there is nothing that will stop me.  We're doing lunch and the art institute.  I am more excited that a 5-year old going to Disney.

Treatment again Tuesday... I am going to throw a party the day the "main" stuff is over.  You are all invited.  I think a pinata would be appropriate.  I get first swing.

What would the piñata be? I could take a few swings.

I've given this some consideration:

A few choices that I've come up with:

1. The Aflac duck if there is a sound chip in the pinata. Those commercials always ruffle my feathers.
2. Any classic Mario Nintendo shape. It'd be fun to see candy fly out of one like coins.
3. I'll leave this up for your choice among children's show characters. I know after hours of the Wiggles, I would have love to take a bat to that show.

Passive aggressive at it's finest haha

Will isn't hooked on anything too annoying at this point.
If I had to take a bat to anything right now it would be one of the local ads that has a really loins intro that woke Will up from a nap....

I vote for a syringe shape - then we could shatter it!!!
