Ancient Persian Magic

Our friend Laya Ganion sent me a box of Persian Magic. I think, hands down, that is one of the coolest packages anyone can get. It involves a charm called a "chesm" that absorbs evil and negative energy from everyone who passes by it in the house (and it's really pretty), and also some great herbs called "Esfand" that I burn a pinch on the stove every so often.

She also sent me some great literature about it, and I tell you what Laya, I am a believer!

Onto the update -- finish brain radiation on Friday, hip radiation on Wednesday....and am starting to downsize my steroids (which will be great because even though they are giving me great energy and a positive outlook have also given me massive zits, and the worst calf leg pain of my life)

And then Matt and I have a meeting with Dr West to discuss the chemo plan on Monday...

I know it's weird to be ancy for Chemo...but I want to get some of this cancer GONE, please! Besides, we just bought the cutest orange leather recliner for me to rest in...and I'm ready to get into Firefly and some other great series (finally have time!).

Going wig shopping with Denise today. My hair is falling out in droves and it's super disgusting. Lucie is ready for me to be bald -- she thinks it's kind of funny....she wants me to get a big long Rapunzel wig...

Had a lovely lunch with my long time friend Peggy Giosso last week, which was fantastic -- she was up from California for the week-- AND, she hooked us up with her sister Anna, who is going to be my Lucie-nanny-pickup in the fall from KIndergarten! Hooray! That was worrisome for a bit, but now it is all handled and set. Big help, very well timed. Thanks Peg!

Alright, that's it for now. Love you all.

I think you'd be a vision in your orange lounge chair in a Jessica Rabbit wig!

I discovered that Fran's Chocolate Caramels have remarkable healing powers ...

I don't doubt that smoking herbs can elicit magic...I think I'm having Amsterdam flashbacks. : ) Hope today was a good day.

the WIG is spectacular. Color is very very similar to the ol' hair - so a great pickupper. I am thrilled with it, myself. After tears and time, it all was good. Melissa you are amazing. Thank you for letting me be there for you... you are an inspiration - without sounding too sappy. love you very much.
Eric is totally jealous about girls wknd - wants to come. I knew he would. :)
