Two Days Left!

Hard to believe there are only two days of radiation and chemo pills left for Manny! The next step will be 2-3 weeks off then he will begin one 5-6 hour session of intravenous chemo every two weeks along with a portable intravenous chemo drip for two days before removal. But no more M - F daily visits to OHSU - yay! We met with the medical oncologist on Friday and he said Manny is among the 15% who have had no side effects from radiation and the chemo pills. Here's hoping the intravenous treatment goes just as smoothly.

Last weekend we attended Monica's son Jordan's last flag football game. These are middle school kids and the size difference in the same age groups are amazing. Jordan is a little fella and he was up against boys that were close to six feet tall with whiskers!  

On Sunday Sam, Jordan, Christian, Jimmy and Hazely stopped by for a Mother's Day lunch. Jordan gifted me a gnome village, Jimmy gave me a fuschia plant, and Sam gave me a hanging plant post. I also received a hanging plant from Monica.

I added a glass ball to the post

Still strong enough to lift up Sam!

Mother's Day plants and post

Candy loves faryies so I repurposed a porcelin doll into a wizard fairy for her.

Spurred on by a friend commenting on my "silver" hair, last week paid a visit to hair goddess Abbie to get my hair trimmed and colored.  So much better. She does leave a few silvery white streaks in there but beat the rest into submission.

Last Friday picked up a $10 large birdcage off of Facebook Marketplace. The lady was getting rid of it as her pet "chicken" didn't care for it. Cleaned and repainted it, added a vase, nest, and bird and now it's adorning my dining room table.

Painted a bird based upon the bird seed sack, then repurposed the bag into a shopping bag.

Today cleaned and organized the spare room as the bed was buried with numerous craft supplies and projects.  Although no one has slept in it, changed the bedding and freshened the covers.

This afternoon decided to paint the dreary, dingy, and downright ugly knife block. Looks brighter with more personality (as much as you can expect from a knife block) so it received a reprieve and can remain on the counter.

Have a great week everyone!! ❤️
