It's hard to believe, but it is almost time to head home. Only 2 more days here, then we'll head north. We will have to prepare for cold weather; I see the forecast is for highs in the 30s when we get home Monday. When we left it was fall, but we're coming home to winter.
Treatments have gone well, and side effects have not been too bad. I have some fatigue and mild nausea. Fighting the fatigue and getting all the sleep I want is a challenge.
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. Ben & Sally flew in Thursday morning and we had a big Thanksgiving dinner. It was warm enough that we decided to drive to Galveston to do some sight-seeing. It was strange to see the tourist areas with almost no one around. We even walked on the beach a little.
On Friday we hit a few stores, then we visited the Saint Arnold Brewery. We were not expecting the kind of crowd that showed up for the "tour"! It was much more like a huge beer party than a tour. Ben and I enjoyed tasting their beers.
Saturday we visited the Battleship Texas, which has belonged to the State of Texas since 1948. It was launched in 1912. It's a self-guided tour so we spent quite a bit of time wandering around the ship. Afterward we went to IKEA. That was a long enough day for me.
Since the kids left on Sunday, the rest of our week has been treatments for me, doctor visits, and a little Christmas shopping.
