My Weekend

One day it was summerish and then all of a sudden it was FALL and our furnaces were running!

Saturday was the annual Ethnic Fest in Two Rivers, people come from all over to attend. The main street is closed off for several blocks for vendors and food.

After some 'iffy' weather and lack of ambition on my part I decided to attend. I usually go every year with my BFF, I love it. So we went. Our 9 year old grandson came over shortly before we left so he joined us. 

I glanced at the booths but didn't really want to buy anything. I saw so many beautiful fall arrangements.

This cheese carver was the first thing we saw, of course he had samples to share.

I loved this booth.

Deb decided grandson J (her godson) should try this.....he loved it!

We watched some dancers for a bit, very interesting. 

I may have watched longer but 1) grandson was ready to go and 2) sitting on the curb is not the most comfortable seat. 

The Hmong always have a booth with wall hangings that portray their story.

The main reason we go to Ethnic Fest is for the food......but I just couldn't eat. I did have 1 egg roll and some french fries .... and I could have easily skipped that. Maybe it was the fried food, but I felt more nauseous later in the day.

After we had been home for a while another friend calls me and asks if she and her 10 year old could come over for a while. It's a long story but she is having a very difficult time with her son. He apologized for something he said to her earlier and wanted to play with J. I said for a little while. Finally her son came inside to play and Michele and I were able to talk without interruptions. The boys used to fight something terrible when they were younger, it is slowly getting better. I was so happy when Michele told me that the rest of saturday night and Sunday morning were much better with her son. He has many issues and most stem from the fact that his dad IGNORES him.

I think I slept all night on saturday because I was exhausted. 

Sunday Kev went golfing and J and I had a relaxing day at home. We got most of his homework done.

Today I have my Monday errands to run. Usually the week before chemo I am feeling pretty darn good, but I think it's catching up with me. I am so tired all the time. I have to force myself to get dressed and get out, usually I feel better after I've gotten out though. Food doesn't appeal to me.....I don't know what to eat, but do force myself to eat protein and veggies. This morning I am going to call and see what I can do for my mouth sores......oh the joys of chemo!

I really shouldn't complain.....so many people have it much worse than me, even children.....how can they understand????

Looks like we are going to have a BEAUTIFUL week! I better get outside and enjoy it. 

You have a good week too!!!
