I'm on day 2 1/2 of chemo here at Moffit and trying out a new regimen. While it's still chemo, with the requsite nausea, fluid retention, etc, they're trying some new drugs and pushing the infamous blue antitoxin early, so while I'm farily wiped out, so far so good on the more or less being able to think. I am beginning to feel like a human chemistry experiment, however...

We had a whopping 72 hours in the new house before I had to return to the hospital and get the kiddos off to their grandparents. The new paint helps the house a ton and the kids seem excited about getting into a space of our own. We managed to unpack the kitchen (thank you, Sarah), the kids bedrooms, all of the bathrooms, and our closets before it was time to leave. It remains to dh to do the living room media center (ugh), the desk boxes (double ugh), and the schoolroom (triple ugh)--truly an act of love on his part while the rest of us are out of town.

The new neigborhood is friendly--all of the kids have already met someone to play with, and we even had a neigbor bring over brownies and information about the area for us! In Phoenix, it took MONTHS to get to know our neighbors and there were almost no children in the neigborhood, so this was a huge blessing for us.

I get released on Friday morning (all things going well) and dh will hopefully take us all back to our "nest" on Saturday. I know we're all looking forward to settling in some more and getting to know the new area.

On and urelated aned very cool topic, my sister-in-law is treating me to a blog redesign. I'm so excited about it. Stay tuned for the new look...and a big thank you to Susan!
