Well, D's mom has been here all week and is going back to Alaska today.
We have the septic guy comming and the shed is empty to begin construction to turn it into a guest house. I took the house off the market and construction is about to begin. This may be the biggest mistake I make ever, but we bought this house with this purpose in mind.
D is very stressed, I hope he can relax some this week.
I went to work yesterday to get out of the house, but my day was crazy. I'm not quite up to being myself after monday's chemo, so it was a little overwhelming yesterday. I had help and everything got done, but I should have been able to trouble shoot a stupid ventilator. I had to call for help and eventually, the night shift therapist had to change out the whole thing. I must be getting soft, I used to trouble shoot and repair all by my self. I hope Monday is better at work.

Tuesday I have plummers comming to fix my faucets. Yeah, we will beable to turn the water off in the bath tub. Hope to get my shower handle fixed too.
I need to figure out where to pin the goats for all this construction. Plus I don't want them in my front yard anymore. I want to plant roses, and vegies.
Life is going to be crazy, but hopefully without all the added stress of constant harping on things.

I need to buy a lottery ticket so maybe I can win the lottery. Not. Just wishful thinking.
"If wishes were horses all men would ride." quote I read in some book in high school.

On a more positive note, I get to paint my bedroom and fix it the way I want, and I think I will redo the hallway. I am begining to hate the wall paper. I love decorating projects. TTFN.

Went to my support group, only 7 there (including mom.) Everyone seems to be doing well.
One of the lady's that used to come to the meetings 5-7 years ago, passed away.
Took forever to get my chemo. I hate afternoon sessions. They just take forever getting my chemo started.
M. has moms cold so I will keep her at home today. Her fever tonight was 101.9. She sure missed her daddy, she won't let him out of her site.

I've been reading a blog of a service man in Iraq, (got it off mainstreambaptist).
My heart goes out to all the people fighting.
Bush has his adgenda, it's not of the people or for the people. And all this busness of "christians" takeing over politics. Silly me, I thought this country was founded on freedom of religion.

Is is going to come down to what religion the president is, we all must believe?
Since when is he the dictator or monarch? Where are the checks and balances? Where are those crazy liberals from California?
I've known for a long time my vote doesn't count. But, I still have the right to vote and I feel I must vote even if my vote/voice is only one and never heard.

Overheard a couple of truckers at a truck stop.
They were talking about if all the truckers got together and had a stopage regarding to cost of gas, they could make an impact and cripple the USA. No one would get gas, supplies or mail. Then maybe the cost would go down.

People we all need to get together and STRIKE against high prices, this war and the vice presidents greedy company to rebuild everything at 1000% profit.
Ever since 911 we have been giving away our revolutionary rights to a little man with a hidden adgenda. And the so called christians are leading the way. Is it any different than the spanish inqusion? Is this all a ploy to make the working class the poorest class and the poor to die from neglect? Are we to go back to the middle ages? This maddnes has got to stop.
Gas prices out of control, medicine out of control, food, clothing, housing, a 25 cent candy bar is 75 cents. All out of contol and they say we are not in a ressesion? I know I'm in a depression about the bills, We used less electricity last month and we have to pay more than the month before, this is just not right!
If this keeps up I may be living in a cardboard box with everyone else in the middle of the street. Ok, maybe not, but I just resent having to work ever so hard to maintain and go through chemo at the same time.

Ok time to count my blessings:
I have a job, and they have help me soo much and support help to support my chemo addiction.
I have a family, all wonderful and supporting.
I have a house (owned by wealthy banks)
I have a car and 1/2 tank of gas.
and my chemo is working.

My prayers are to keep the chemo working, get through the next 3 weeks without being to ill from the side effects.
Must get sleep. TTFN

Today is another chemoday. But first I will go to my ovarian support group. I have great news,
my ca125 is down. We will all rejoice and be glad. I will get to know how everyone else is doing.

I now have restras from New Mexico. D and his mom came down the alaskan hwy and down the rockies to NM to visit family and friends.

Well time to go will write soon. TTFN

Had great news yesterday.

My chemo is working. My CA 125 is down to 87.1 from 168.
I had a reaction to the chemo this time, so I get one more week repreve.
Just means we all get to make the trip again next monday.

D is still in Canada with his mom. Hopefully, they will be home early next week.
M is getting spoiled sleeping with me at night, it will be hard for her to sleep in her bed again.

I've been floated again today up to PICU. Not to bad, just a couple of sick kids. Hopefully, this will be a nice slow day.

Not much to say so...TTFN

Just came back from Alaska. Beautiful country!
Tried to put in a picture, but I guess I don't know how.
Will post photos when I read how to put on my blog.

D and I flew into Seattle with an 6 hour layover. So we went down to Pike Market place.
Yeah!! I got to see the guys throw fish to each other. (Saw them on the Food network.)
Walked through the market and saw beautiful flower, art and stuff. We then went to the pier and ate the best fresh fish. Seattle was a cool 44 to 65 degrees sunny day. Then we were off the Fairbanks.

After some much needed sleep, we were off to site see.
We saw an old Gold dregger, walked around and had a bite to eat. Went to see the pipeline.
Saw the sites of Fairbanks. Went to the NorthPole Alaska, and Santa's house. I got a great T-shirt that says, "I'm on Santa's good list." (Santa wasn't there but we took pictures in his chair.) We went out side and saw one of his retired Raindeer. It was a lot of fun.
Later we went to the musem at U of A and saw the culture of Alaska.

One day we drove to Denali national park, It was overcast so we only saw parts if Denali (Mt McKinley) The best part of the whole trip was my three bears. We were driving thru the park and people were stopped by the road looking accross to the river. We were driving down a hill when I said "Bear!!" We stoped and watched three grissley bears a mom and 2 almost grown cubs eating something. They were about 1/4 mile from us. (have pictures) It was great.

We also went to the Chena Hotsprings and had dinner, in fact we ate very richley.
We had raindeer sausage, king salmone, king crab, muskox, prawns the size of a med lobster, and pie. On my last night we went looking for the nights lights , but alas they were not out. But, we finially did see the alussive Moose, and her baby. It took 600 miles of travel all over Alaska to see them, but I finally got to see the Moose.
I saw, Grissly bears (close enough for me, and still save), sled dogs, grouse birds, Raindeer, Carabu and Moose.
I ate, king salmone, king crablegs, Prawns, raindeer, and muskox.

Had a great time, but time travel is very hard on a body.

P.S. Greekshadow, THANKS FOR THE APPLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was a great suprise when I got home.
