Another good day for seeing friends! We met up with a few friends for brunch—our first time getting together in person in months. I’m not going to lie, it felt weird. But it was also great to see each other again. It will be wonderful when it’s a regular occasion again. After my surgery I won’t be as worried about picking up something random and postponing any treatment.

Unfortunately, a lot of the day I felt achy again. Patrick reminded me that I’m still in my normal effects time. Sigh. At least it’s not too bad, and, oh yeah, no more chemo this week! Soon my aches will be only because I’m out of shape.

At any rate, today I’m thankful for a brief time with friends and looking forward to normalcy.
