I wish I had something exciting to blog about. Really, I do. But the reality is that I've been enjoying a bit of down time. It's possibly the most down time I've had in a decade (especially if you disregard down time that is a result of chemo, because that is down time that cannot be enjoyed.). I'm just starting to refill the schedule after clearing it out fairly completely over the past 8 months for treatment. I'm chaperoning 3 school events over the next week, hosting bible study and a Super Bowl party over the weekend, and will head back to the Soup Kitchen to volunteer for the first time since diagnosis next week. It's all good. I think I'm ready to start back with some work projects, but need to make the calls to get that going. I guess that while I'm ready to do that, I haven't been exactly hunting down the work. I should probably hop on that.

In the meantime, do you hate me if I tell you I've been spending most of my time planning my FIVE WEEKS of beach vacations we have planned for 2010? In addition to the 3 weeks in Greece, we have now added 2 weeks in Hawaii (one on Oahu and one on Kauai) to coincide with a conference Greg needs to attend there. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with blessing that I "need" to spend so much time determining which house on Crete to rent, or which part of Kauai might be best for a November journey.
