The Drive, Some Pizza And A Lump.

Sunday afternoon, Michelle, Michael (her son) and I jammed the trunk of her brand new Camry full of luggage.  We were beginning our adventure to South Carolina.  Despite the tummy issues, and the fact that I had started bleeding again...we were off.

As a reminder, Michelle is my friend that I met at Capital Women's Care who took care of me after my surgeries and hospital stays...and up until the time I moved to Anderson.  She's a class act and we don't spend nearly enough time together!!!!!!

Other than some terrible traffic in Virginia, our drive was uneventful. Full of great conversation, great music and as always laughter.  We arrived in Anderson just a little after midnight.  Mom waited up for us, I knew she would.  She offered to feed us before we even had the chance to bring our luggage in, as I knew she would!!  That's my Momma!

(Have you ever heard of Steak ~N~ Shake??  Ohhhh fudge...that's a different story for another day!!!!!!)

Michelle and Michael tucked in somewhere after 1:30 am.  I think Mom and I stayed awake catching up and chatting until almost 3:00 am.

Morning came quickly, but joyfully.  I was eager to hang out with my friends and Mom said she was taking us to see the new house!

I can't even begin to describe how beautiful the house is!  I took MANY pictures.  It's unbelievable how much work has gone into building it.  My room is painted a beautiful shade of Optimistic Yellow.  Oh yes, I did decide that particular shade of yellow because of the name!!!!!!!  Dad thinks it is too bright.  I told him I loved it...and I do!

We went to lunch at Ci Ci's.  I was hardly careful.  When I was done eating pizza, I had a brownie and a small cinnamon bun.  We were going to get our nails done afterwards...but my tummy had other plans.  I know, it was my fault.  I ate entirely too much.  It won't happen again. Seriously.

.

We came back to the house.  I took some meds and napped.  Michael watched a movie and Michelle ventured off into Anderson to have a manicure and get her car washed.

They leave Wednesday morning...and I know the time will come all too soon.  Michelle is part of that "wind beneath my wings".  I couldn't do this cancer stuff without her.  Everyone needs a Michelle in their life!!!!!!!

My biopsy and CT scan are Wednesday.  I've placed a call to my doctor in the meantime...there's a lump in my right breast.

I sure do love y'all and I am extremely grateful and blessed you continue to walk this journey with me.

Please keep the prayers and comments coming!!!  It all helps!
