Life has it's Ups and Downs

I know....profound huh?

Today was such a fun day.  I met with some fellow bloggers for lunch at Cheesecake Factory.  The poor waiter...he had his hands full with 7 bloggers, all trying to talk at the same time and take pictures!  We had such a wonderful time.

 Liz (Rose Vignettes), Linda (Reminisce and This and That), the Fashionista

 Laura (Decor to Adore) (next picture), Cindy (Applestone Cottage), Marty (A Stroll Thru Life) and me....

 Laura brought each of us one of her precious strawberry sachets...with the yoyo top!

Last evening my husband brought me a gift from a co-worker.  She had taken a trip to the Honduras and brought me back the sweetest coin purse and coins and bill.  I have collected coins for almost 50 years...so this was a real treat!

So what was the down you ask?  Well, unfortunately, on my way home I received news from my Oncologist that a clinical trial will not be available for me and that I need to go back on traditional chemotherapy.  I am not happy about this news.  I will be losing my hair again.  I really wish I didn't have to do it, but there really is no alternative right now.  The thing is, once the hair is gone, it is a long time before I will have enough hair again to not wear a wig.

I only tell you this because I know some of you are interested.  Another bump in the journey.  I will keep you posted on my Teal blog.  I may not be posting as regularly at first until I get used to the treatment.  But that probably won't be this week yet.

Anyways, have a wonderful weekend.  Enjoy it!
