I wrote for many hours today and feel that my book is really taking shape. It was a shock to be able to get so much done after a terrible night. We got to sleep late. Adeline was up crying and then Cole was up. Cole asked sweetly to come to our bed, and because he rarely asks and he's been fragile this week, I let him. As a result, he demanded my water, my pillow and my space. He was cute though.
I am trying to take this chemo break as a cancer break, but instead I was up most of the night worrying. I have an enlarged lymph node or 2 on my neck. It makes no sense that it would be related, but I felt it all night long and worried. When I'm in chemo, I get through it but when I'm on a break, I worry. Urgh. At least my thoughts are coherent enough to write now. I am putting the time to good use despite the worrying.
Tomorrow Cole is having a much needed day off from school and going to Grandma's. I wish I had a Grandmother's house to which I could go and play hooky. Cookies and ice cream make any worry go away at least for a moment.
can you play hookie at a friend's instead of a granny's? Get thee to Scotland! The hills are soft and the sky is wide! I make great cookies and the swedish glace here is a sure worry killer...

or you could hookie a little closer to home...a roll down the hill...I'll wear a grey wig and put my hair in a bun...oh, right I'm already grey...cookies, ice cream, champagne? you choose.
