MAGIC TEA & LOADS OF ENERGY

I talked to mom the last few days and things have been average but TODAY....... WHAT A TROOPER. She got so much done. She said she made herself spaghetti for lunch and "It tasted really good Mel," she says. Then she made pork chops with some gravy and homeade biscuits for Kent and Dad. She said yesterday she vacuumed! That is progress... she usually makes dad do it. She also said she was up all day, she didn't lay around and got a good nights sleep. She isn't sure what to attribute it all to but she sure has had a good day. She was in the mood to make black bottom cupcakes and wanted to suprise dad. She was going to try and mix them up tonight then tomorrow when he goes to the gym she was going to make them up and take them down to Mike at the gym. She says..."It would be so cool to show up with a big smile and say, I know I haven't been able to come down and see ya but I haven't forgotten you." She always sends leftovers down to the owner of the gym to spoil him. She said she feels like she could walk around a little and wanted to suprise dad by showing up in her own car. Hopefully she will feel up to it. If not, the thought is great in itself. She is so positive and it is good to see her talking about those types of things! She is doing a little hand stitching on a project she has had for a while and has a girlfriend coming over tomorrow to quilt. Her friend Lawana has a quilt she wants to work on so mom is going to help her with that. Sherri and her family will be here next week to visit so that should be fun. Mom and dad are wanting to plan a trip for the spring. Maybe up to McCall Idaho or somewhere around there, they are not sure yet. I think those are all the important updates. Oh and she weighs 120 lbs!!!!!! She is still drinking her herbal tea 2-3x a day! Monday when I talked to her she said this round of chemo seems to be the easiest on her body so far. Her bottom is a little better and her mouth isn't as sore!
