Drew’s not funny.

For those who don’t know, Drew is my sister, Erica’s boyfriend. He and my parents are going to Chapel Hill tomorrow to pick Erica up and bring her home. (Gives an excited smile and claps her hands in enthusiasm.) However, while the rest of the family is off gallivanting in North Carolina, I have somehow been maneuvered into a weekend at Marta and Steve’s. I don’t think they trust me home alone. When Drew found this out he started laughing. Hence today’s title – Drew is NOT funny.
Anyway, after yesterday’s argument with my body (if you don’t know what I’m talking about then check back one day) we have not been on speaking terms. In fact, we had a big argument today. I said hey let’s get up and move and my body said no. Then it started to whine and complain. Apparently, my little jaunt in the woods yesterday with Brian pissed it off. (And once again Elizabeth learns a valuable lesson about what one can and can not do while on chemo.)
Even with our disagreement, my body and I managed to work together long enough to start planning our summer project. My father recently finished a path in our woods. He’s been working on the thing for three years so he’s kind of excited. (Of course, if he moved more than one shovel full of gravel a day it probably would have gone a bit quicker.) I have decided that the path needs some gardens. I am currently planning out a rock garden. Chuck was over earlier so I was able to convince him to do some heavy lifting for me. It was nice. I spent an hour outside bossing chuck around and he got to put of grading English papers. It was a win-win.
That’s really all I have for today. But a couple of quick notes.
Janette – Yes. I am in desperate need of a boat trip. Unfortunately, I don’t see it happening until after St. John’s when I am sure that I won’t hurl all over the new boat.
Stefan – it’s great hearing from you. When are you coming in?
To all those who have asked after him – Phil is doing fine. I still haven’t managed to kill him. He’s a tough little bugger.
It’s only 8 days until the Relay for Life. Don’t forget to donate on my site. And if you’re interested feel free to stop by. It’s a fun day and the luminary ceremony is very moving. You can click on my profile to get my email address and I’ll send you directions.
Leave me comments. I’m starved for comments.
I think that’s it.
Later - Elizabeth
