A big, busy week

February 2nd to the 8th was an action packed week.

Spencer and I started it off on Sunday the 2nd with a lunch date before we went to a book signing with his favorite author, Lisa McMann.

This was my first time having a quinoa bowl.  It was delicious. 

Lisa McMann!

I follow her on Instagram, and I think she's just the best. 

I had to work on Monday the 3rd.  This is a picture of January in my new 2020 pig calendar.  I took it before I flipped to February that day. 

I stopped at a store on my way home to buy Spencer a new water bottle.  He's only had one million of them since Kindergarten.  No joke, he lost this one about a week later. 

This is the look I was giving to show how unamused I was about all of his water bottles. 

Michael and Spencer went to a hockey game on Tuesday the 4th. 

It was one of Spencer's Christmas presents. 

We hadn't planned on going anyway, but Elliott and I stayed home because this is the shape he was in. 

I saw my surgeon for a follow-up on Wednesday the 5th.  I had colored this picture to give him.

This is a fake smile, because he was just really confused.  Apparently, he grew up in Russia and didn't speak English or live in the United States until he was a teen, and he didn't understand the meaning of the word "rad".  He thought it meant something about radiation.  And then I felt like a jerk. 

The appointment was actually incredibly fast, so Michael and I met for a quick lunch.  I got this mimosa that had tequila and grapefruit in it.  It was excellent.

And the necklace I had ordered on etsy was delivered that afternoon!

I did a face mask on Thursday the 6th. 

And took Spencer's 12 year 5 month picture

I had an appointment with my oncologist on Friday, February 7th.  I wore my Wonder Woman bra, because I knew she would see it. 

At one point during chemo I had checked yes on every one of these boxes, so this was pretty remarkable. 

I colored her a picture too. 

And she gave me a baby Yoda tank top!

Michael went up to the mountains with Josh that weekend, and Spencer was at a friend's house on Friday night, so Elliott and I went out for a night on the town. 

Breakfast for dinner. 

He wanted a picture of me with my water.

And then, finally, back home to enjoy the new electric fire place and a glass of wine. 

In my Yoda tank top!

Elliott and I continued our date onto Saturday, February 8th.  We had breakfast for breakfast. 

I had the same quinoa bowl that I had with Spencer the previous Sunday. 

That afternoon the kids and I drove to Tucson.  It was a spontaneous, not planned trip. 

Look at the truck we passed on the way!  No worries, Spencer took the picture.

That night, Spencer fell asleep around 7:00 pm, which is just all fine and dandy, because he started puking around 10:00 pm.  We left him at home asleep, and went out to dinner with my mom's cousin John and his wife Patsy.  They were kinda the reason we went down to Tucson.
