I'm a regular dynamo
I love the gift of perspective. Less than a week out of chemo(!), today I managed to:
1. Get to a lab at 6:30am and out by 7:15 despite there being 15 people in front of me, the computer freezing up multiple times, AND by the way, this lab was now out-of-network for my COBRA...did I mind paying a bit more. Really, I didn't, as the excellent tech got my blood in ONE stick. If you know me and my veins saga, this is officially a praise report.
2. Get in and out of the DMV in TWENTY minutes despite LONG lines. Praise God for online appointments/registrations and telecommuting husbands. I now have a (kerchiefed--Florida doesn't require one list hair color, LOL) but official license. This is vital, at least according to my children, for library cards and Sea World resident passes (something Christmas monies have been carefully horded for).
3. Finish all school and have dinner in the crock-pot before 1pm.
4. Lie down for 30 minutes!
5. Get the all-vital library cards, managing to locate the library without a map (a major accomplishment for the directionally-impaired).
6. Locate Super-Wal Mart with the children to pick up a few needed things. Celebrated/bribed them with slushes at the Sonic located inside...they thought that was cool.
7. Wrote a letter and some emails to friends back "west".
I feel so accomplished and grateful.
Of course, I feel tired too. Time to get dinner on the table.
Hope your day was "productive", too!

Hooray, Heather!! Sounds like you were extremely productive. Gotta' love those crock pots. We had Mojo Pork and Yellow Rice tonight...thanks to my own crockpot.
And, Sonic has the BEST DIET COKE in the world. I'd love it if there was one in our Super Walmart!! How fun.
Love,
Susan
Wow, don't I feel like a lazy bum?
So glad you are feeling good enough to do all that!!!!
(What is my excuse? LOL)
Amazing - So productive! I, on the other hand, am still feeling the effects of jet lag over 10 time zones (BTW - Jessica Namyalo says 'Hi!' from Uganda and sends her love)
Keep up the good progress - but don't over-do it. . . you DO need your rest, after all.
Love from AZ!

When you're done with your Wonder Woman cape, I want to borrow it, please. Mine has long been lost and is in need of replacement!
AND YOU HAVE A SONIC IN YOUR WAL=MART?! Life doesn't get much better than that. :>)
So glad to hear you had a good day.
Mmm...Sonic - I love their Cherry Limeade! Wish we had one here. I'm glad to hear you're able to do so much, just remember to rest when you need it. I am in full nesting frenzy at the moment and thought I was doing well, but I think you've got me beat!
Did you say Sonic?!?!?! Diet Coke with cherry - my favorite! Glad you were able to get so much done. And I was all proud of myself for getting the bathrooms cleaned....
