Yesterday was a long day. On top of Aly feeling sick to her stomach on and off, we had a clinic appointment for blood counts, tutor time and her radiation treatment. The proton center called us yesterday afternoon and said they were having technical difficulties. The hard drive on the computer that runs the machines malfunctioned, so they said they had to "rebuild" it. That put everything way behind and we were lucky to be scheduled in last night. Unfortunately, it was a 10 pm appointment! But, it was better to have that than nothing at all. If we didn't get in yesterday, our journey home would be delayed, so Aly, the trooper, put her pj's on and took it in stride.
Grandpa Jack and Grandma Jan arrived on Wednesday for a visit. We have been busy planning what we are going to do this weekend. We are going to head to St. Augustine, on Saturday, which is about 30 minutes away. It is deemed the oldest city in the U.S. We received tickets to the Ripley's Believe it or Not museum from the proton center. There are also many other things to do and explore. A pirates museum, an old army fort, the oldest school house, an alligator farm, etc. We are still deciding what we are going to do and may wait until we get there to figure it out. Sunday may just be relaxation day. We may go back to Talbot Island or another beach location.
Aly and I are starting to look forward to going home. She told me, the other day, that this time has gone by fast. It has. We both have mixed feelings about leaving. Of course, we want to get home to family and friends, but we both said there are things left to do here and it will be hard to leave this fabulous weather. I'm not looking forward to the bare trees and cold weather back home. I'll have to print out pics of palm trees and bright blue skies I've taken and imagine being back here in the sun, I guess!
