A quiet weekend at home...

Since my last chemo treatment on Friday,  I've been hunkered down at home since my immune system is pretty crummy right now.  Of course because I'm told to stay at home and not venture out where there could be large groups of people, I want to do the exact opposite.  I know what's best for me, and I'm all about following the "rules" - I'm just becoming a tad stir crazy.

On Friday night, I only managed to get 5 hours of sleep.  I was told that after my second chemo that I may get a burst of energy, and the doc was right.  Come 10 pm it was like I got my second wind, and didn't fall asleep until 1 am only to be wide awake by 6:30 when I got up to feed the kitties.  I made up for my lack of sleep though and then some last night.  I got 13 hours of sleep.  Yes, 13 hours folks!  I can't remember the last time I slept 13 straight hours.  This did mean though that I was out cold by 8 pm on a Saturday night (sad, I know), but what else did I have going on?  It felt wonderful! 

One benefit of us being forced to stay indoors is that both Josh and I have been so productive.  I started AND completed all my thank you cards, and all the dishes and laundry are clean and put away.  Josh being the amazing husband he is ran all the errands this weekend.  He went grocery shopping, picked up the assortment of thank you cards for me, and get this...went to Express and picked me up a couple new pairs of dress pants I was eying down online.  I won't go into detail about how excited (yeah right!) he was about making that trip for me, but I had a coupon and today was the last day I could use it.  Thank you dear!  The pants fit great =)  He even swung by Papa Murphy's on his way home and picked up a take n' bake pizza because I made mention earlier in the day that pizza sounded kind of good.  What a guy, huh?  I'm one lucky lady.
