I had a very busy day that took me all over North San Diego County, to the south, out west to the coast, and north to the shopping centers.
I began the day heading south to our church for a Women's Cancer Support Group meeting. The meetings have really helped me through this crazy journey I've been on. These women have inspired me with their own personal stories and encouraged and prayed for me throughout my treatments. I learned how important it is to reach out and ask for help and support. It wasn't as scary when I had friends that knew what I was going through and how I was feeling. I wasn't alone and that made a big difference.
Next was an absolutely fabulous lunch date out west. My neighbor helped me celebrate the end of chemotherapy by treating me to a wonderful lunch at a fancy restaurant right on the beach. We even had window seats to enjoy the gorgeous view. I tried the Pecan-Crusted Sea Bass and it was delicious. My taste has returned and I savored the flavors. Not needing to hold back on calories, we shared a 'Hula Pie' for dessert. This is very similar to a 'Mud Pie' except the ice cream is vanilla rather than coffee-flavored.
Later, I headed northbound to the mall with my son who was craving a cinnamon roll from Cinnabon after school. I confess it's not much traveling but it is north. Unfortunately, the new tea shop was in the vicinity and drew us in before we could scamper safely past it. I came out with 3 new loose leaf teas to try with my new 'Perfect Tea Maker'. Hmm..I need to be careful. This store is addicting. After the mall, we killed some time at Barnes & Noble. I just love that place!
As you can see from my escapades today, I'm feeling pretty good and enjoying the last few days of my time off.
