nugget, her grandmamie and i all returned home this afternoon. we’re going to sign the lease and get the keys for the deluxe apartment in just a bit.
yesterday, i met with the builder and finished the selections for the new house. i’m anxious to see what they’ll look like all together. nugget daddy is anxious to see what they look like period.
tonight is our last night in our house. tomorrow we move. lucky for everyone, i have a nail appointment in the middle of the afternoon so that should keep me busy and less able to drive everyone, including myself, crazy.
i like the oncologist. he is very kind and reassuring. it looks like it will be about two weeks before i start treatment, as i have a series of testing to complete. two of the tests are diagnostic and two are to make sure my organs are healthy enough for treament.
monday i’ll go for a pulmonary fucntion test. it’s just a breathing test and will show how well my lungs are functioning. this is especially important because of my asthma and the fact that the affected nodes are primarily in my chest and neck. the goal is to see that my lungs are healthy enough for chemotherapy and not at risk for secondary complications.
thursday i’ll have a bone marrow biopsy done at the oncologist’s office. he described the procedure in-depth and assured me it isn’t as bad as it’s made out to be. he prescribed some ativan (lorazepam) for me though, so i won’t freak out during it.
the other two tests are a pet scan and a resting muga scan. once those are scheduled i’ll explain what they are and when they’re being done.
we got our first offer on the house yesterday. we countered last night and are waiting to hear back.
last weekend we went on a sort of accidental vacation to new orleans. we had a wedding to attend and had originally planned on a quick friday-to-sunday trip. but, the friday and sunday flights were so awful, we decided to go thursday to monday and make the best of it. also, the wednesday before we left we put our house on the market. oh, and i had to build a new board for a web forum i moderate.
so, after packing things into storage, packing for the three of us for vacation, boarding the cats, taking the dog to my parents, setting up the new boards, cleaning like a maniac and staging the house all magazine-like, i really, really needed a vacation.
when we got home it was hurry-up-and-put-everything-away-and-make-the-house-all lovely-again time. the next day nugget daddy had travel overnight and of course that was when someone called to see the house. after that experience we will absolutely be keeping the house as close to perfect all the time.
at least that showing gave me a chance to sneak off to the grocery store and do some major restocking. i finally picked up some mrs. meyer’s detergent in lavender scent to try out. it smells so lovely that i didn’t mind doing a single one of the eight hundred loads of laundry i’ve washed since!
so, just in case you were wondering why in the hell i’ve been so lazy and not blogging, there you have it. i hear nugget peeping. so much for napping on nugget daddy!
