I didn't realize it has been a whole month since my last post! Life rolls on somewhat predictably. Most days, I don't have anything on my schedule, so I try to get the dogs to the dog park and make dinner. That's a decent day for me. Mat's a super cool dude and doesn't expect me to accomplish everything on my list. He knows I do as much as I can and he helps me with the heavy lifting when I need it.
With the new drug, I have infusion every three weeks. After two infusions, I'm still working on figuring out how it affects me. It seems like it makes me really tired for a few days, low energy, and brain fog. Weeks two and three seem better and I can get more done. I have chemo again on Friday. I hope this new drug is making some sort of difference! It seems like the lump in my chest is softer, but who knows! My next scans should be in November, I'm praying for good news!
We got back from California on Saturday. It was a great trip with McKinley, she really enjoyed the beach! The water was freezing, but when you're 12, the temperature doesn't seem to bother! We spent most of our time on Moonstone Beach near Cambria. They call it Moonstone because if you are a true rock hounder, you can find agates there. I'll tell you I sorted through millions of rocks there, but never found an agate! I did find and bring home a lot of rocks that were green, red, black, yellow and a few pink! I love cool rocks, I don't know what I'll do with these rocks yet, but there will be something amazing ...

| These two pictures were taken within a minute or two of each other. Sun setting in front of us, a full moon rising behind us. The campground we stayed in was just across the street from the beach. We were close enough that we could hear the tide crashing in at night. |
