Very hot and humid. Went to the Church BBQ and had coffee after at Burger Hut. On the way home we went to a yard sale at Davenports old house. They have moved to my Mom's old apartment near the Legion. I bought 2 interesting plant stands, a lightening rod and a small unit with 6 small drawers. John got a large water container for the camper. You can see pictures here:
I did one load of laundry, hung up and arranged my finds and tried to negotiate to buy 200 keys from an American Blogger friend. She will check cost of shipping tomorrow. I also registered as a survivor for the Relay for Life next Friday. Bacon and eggs for supper.

Even muggier and hotter than yesterday. Got 3 loads of laundry done and dry. Spent time on the computer and then had coffee at BH. Made my once around the kitchen pasta salad for supper and have enough for my lunches. Played with my garage sale finds and found homes for them. Finished the Mermaid Kumihimo and the blue beach glass sets and made the silver ball earrings.

Today is the big day! A little bit nervous. Spent the morning packing and checking things off the list. we meet Joan at 11:30. After lunch we headed to Ingleside and got there around 4:30. Christopher met us there with the boys and we loaded up his van to drive over to the Relay for Life site. Sean and Tammy arrived and helped us set up. Lori's Mom Anne also came to cheer us on. Lori soon arrived with the girls. I did the survivor lap and then Sean & Tammy had to leave. Lori and Taylor did quite a few laps and then they left as Taylor had a soccer tournament in Montreal on Saturday. Weather has been perfect. Christopher, Philip, Kyrstin, Alexandre, Patrick, Me, John and Joan did the whole night. 7:00 pm to 7:00 am.  Not too many people left by the end. For Pictures go here.

Side effects and pills

As this is my second time around after a treatment it will be interesting to see if the side effects are the same. So far I have been very lucky and have had no problem with vomiting or nausea. My biggest problem has been joint pain mainly in my knees and feet. This started on the Thursday after my treatment and was very bad on the Friday and Saturday and down to a dull roar on the Sunday and Monday. These 5 days seem to be what I call my "bad days" I feel basically OK but know that everything is not right. I describe it as feeling wobbly.This time the knees started bothering me around suppertime yesterday (Thursday). What a day for pills! After breakfast I took two stars (they are done now till night before next treatment) and a football, a stool softener, a multi vitamin and vitamin D, after lunch Calcium and B12 after supper, another football (only one left now) and stool softener. At 8:30 I took a percocet (oxycocet) for the pain and at 10:30 an Advil nighttime, and two Senokot (for constipation) a total of 16 pills! 10 different kinds. This is the worst day for that. By Saturday I should be back to my normal routine of just vitamins and calcium. The knee pain has been a lot less than last time so hopefully it will be easier this time around. I expect to be feeling normal by Tuesday and I better as I am going to work now and then for the next 3 weeks as Barbara my replacement had this time booked for holidays.
