Back in the Saddle Again

We are home from San Diego. It was a nice trip. The weather was cool, sunny/cloudy, and rainy. We had a nice time out on the boat with our friends. We saw dolphins and sea lions, but not whales. That was kind of a bummer. But, I hadn't been on a boat for awhile, I brought the right clothes, and it was fun.

We took a behind-the-scenes educational tour at the Wild Animal Park. A group of 10 people. We were on the other side of a chain link fence from 3 cheetahs. We could hear them purring. We were in an observation room watching 5 half-grown lion cubs. One jumped up on his hind legs and pounded on the window in front of me. Those guys are really big. Then we did a little hands on with a snake, hedgehog, and something else I can't remember. We got to touch them which was cool.

We went to the zoo and saw the pandas, gorillas, and chimps. The day started out rainy, but by the time we got there the sun came out. We also visited Pt. Loma where the light houses are. Great views of San Diego bay.

We had dinner with friends of our friends who we also know and who were in Las Vegas last year for the surprise birthday party. They are a lot of fun. We played board games at night, hung out, talked, and just had a nice time.

Yesterday I started Cycle 2, and received both drugs. I feel pretty good today. Monday will go in for the study drug. Will have my next CT scan on Monday 3/16 and will have an idea what is going on.

Until then, chemo on Mon/Fri, pool on Wed, and hopefully some productive work around the house and down time the rest of the days.

Good to be sleeping in our own bed again.
