I know, another quiet front.
I’m STILL battling my sickness; not the typical cold I usually get, but this deep, raspy, smoker cough that starts like a tickle and turns violently ugly in 1.3 seconds. Today, there were a couple times Tony jumped from the couch, prying his eyes from the Viking’s game, to make sure I could still breathe. I got to be honest, a couple of those times, I couldn’t. I’m giving this thing a couple more days before I make a doctor’s appointment. My problem is, I go to a doctor, they prescribe something, and then I have to do this whole run around to make sure I can take it with my chemo. It’s so annoying, so it’s easier to just avoid going to the doctor all together.
I spent most of this past weekend back in my city.. Duluth. One of my best friends got married and I was lucky enough to stand by her side and listen to the beautiful vows she wrote for her husband, overlooking a lake, surrounded by birch trees. It was completely serene and beautiful.
The amount of love that filled this weekend is more than I can describe in words. My dear friends truly are one of the most perfect couples; they’re always up for new adventures together, they support one another, and they’re really good at patio hoppin’ and happy hourin’ it. They’re one of our favorite couples to be with for all the above reasons and more. This weekend was wonderfully perfect, just like the two of them.
Bleh – ugly, right? 😉
Like I said, a beautiful couple & a beautiful backdrop.
We got home on Saturday morning, Tony took off for the Gopher game and Ace and I took a two hour nap on the couch. I felt guilty because this weekend is exactly why people live in Minnesota. It was a sunny, crisp, mid 70s kinda weekend & I spent a good portion of it sleeping inside, [however, naps with Ace are one of the top things in the world. He plays the little spoon well and loves to snore].
I kicked today off with breakfast with another best friend to celebrate her birthday, some appetizers and football with an old high school friend in town, and a lot of planning for school this week, [all my teacher friends can relate to how hard it is to be gone for two days the third week in!].
Life is good.
I promise I’ll be back tomorrow. I’m trying a stuffed sweet potato recipe; I’m hoping it’s all it’s cracked up to be!
Nighty night muffins.
