Another Lazy Sunday!

Here I am again just lazing around, i didn't get up until 1:00, but it took me until after 2:00 to get dressed! I finally got motivated enough to walk down to Starbucks, that way I get out, post to my blog and get some exercise - Starbucks is further away than the bagel shop! I might walk past the bagel shop the other way and see what this Middle Eastern restaurant I was reading about on the Internet. It sounded pretty good, I have to see if they have a menu in the window, and also what their hours are. Might be a place for us to try while Bharata's up here at Christmas!

There's a little snow falling, they are just tiny, tiny snowflakes, in fact they almost look like raindrops but they're dry! The forecast has changed again, now they're calling for snow everyday this week! The key will be how much snow! Tomorrow is going to be a real test for me, I'm going to get up early - that means leave home by say 8:00 AM - so I can go to the post office and mail some packages - if I don't go tomorrow I'm afraid I'll miss a pre-Christmas delivery! I can't have that, what kind of Santa would I be? That reminds me of a Christmas movie I just watched, I can't remember the name, something about Santa Claus, Santa only reins as Santa for 200 years, then someone else takes over, in this case Whoopie Goldberg took over - just think, that could be me, with a white wig, red suit & a sleigh with reindeer! That would be awesome! I could totally go for being Santa Claus! Last year we had a great time, buying Christmas presents for kids & their siblings in the Head Start program in West Palm Beach and Bharata played Santa at their Christmas party, it was so much fun! I heard about the program and need for toys a couple of years ago on the radio and have so enjoyed getting presents for these kids. This year we had planned to do the Santa thing again and even thought we'd schedule to go a few days early and do Santa pictures with the kids and then take them to the parents at the party. Most of these families can't afford to but pictures of the kids with Santa, but I'm sue they'd appreciate having one. That will just have to wait for next year! Hopefully they got enough toys for everyone.

I'm realizing I feel much better when I get out - it's just getting myself out that's the difficult part! I'm trying to come up with some sort of plan to make this easier. I think I've hit the saturation point where the cumulative effects of the chemotherapy have built up in my body causing it to be a bit more difficult to stay active and remain as positive. So that means I have to bring out the big guns (first, I have to figure out what the big guns are). I refuse to let these toxins get the best of me, they have their purpose, to destroy the cancer, and I fully intend to allow them to do that, but I have to use other alternative therapies to dispose of the by-products which aren't needed for fighting the cancer so they don't pull me down. I think the secret to all of this is to understand the effects the toxins have and to combat them, rather than just letting it take you over not really understanding what's happening. Unfortunately, I think a lot of people don't understand this and are overwhelmed by it without knowing why and once it's pulled you into it's vortex, getting out because almost impossible - which is why I intent to gain control of the situation before it gets to that point!

I'm just looking across the street and I see the door to the India Community Center is open, I actually thought the place was closed and the sign had never been removed because it looked sort of abandoned, but I guess not. I wonder what exactly they have and or do there? I'll have to check it out and I can tell Pooja, the little girl I sponsor in India through the Christian Children's Fund. I try from time to time to write something in Spanish to Tania (not that my Spanish is very good) she's the little girl I sponsor in Bolivia. I've thought about sponsoring a child since I was in my teens but never got around to it. This sounds crazy but it was a Jack Nicholson movie that gave me the push I needed! It's quite rewarding, I'm really glad I finally made the commitment.

Well, I'm not sure if it's my imagination or not, but it looks like it's getting colder out there, so I'm going to sign off and head back home. Have a wonderful rest of the afternoon and evening and I'll be back tomorrow.
