Gettin' Better!

Plymouth was wonderful this year, although I did hurt myself a lot walking the entire parade route because Don Deal is a moron--I thought he was giving me a lift to the end of the parade, but no, he wanted to walk the whole way. I was in pain!

But the weekend kicked off with the fun bus, with a Luau theme. I drank way too many Hawaiian Bay Breezes, but it did help numb the pain of sitting on the bus for 5 hours. Otherwise, I stayed on plan for the weekend. Rehearsal was fun, and I fit into my luau dress that I bought ten years ago and have never fit into!


I did go to bed early, and thankfully with some painkillers. The next night's show, Jack and I wowed them when we finished our duet, and when the bari solo sang, "Cuz I love you..." we kissed!

The audience loved it!

When we got home though, I saw an oncologist and got certified for a medical marijuana card, which should arrive in a few weeks. Meanwhile, it's more oxycodones at night.

We spent Thanksgiving with Jesse's in-laws, and it was our whole family along with them, so we had a blast with the kids keeping us entertained the whole time.


I think it was the best T-day we've ever had.

As of December 5, I've lost 29 pounds on my diet. I then celebrated a little so I put some back on, but it will be off again next week. I'm very very happy about that! My stretch 18W's are sagging on me already, and I'm thrilled! I feel better, I feel more energized, and I feel more positive about many things. And I don't even have my marijuana yet!

Finishing out the season with two Bracken parades, re-asserting myself as the music instructor. 

And here are some more grandkids!
