Mom is back home; my sister and brother-in-law are back home; Matt's back home. Thanksgiving was great, as was Matt's visit this weekend from Friday till today. I showed him around Asheville, we saw Treasure Planet (great movie), we went out with my family a few times, but mainly we just laid low and enjoyed each other's company. Seeing each other only every three weeks or so has been really hard. It's going to be nice to get back to Athens and pick up my life where I left it.

It's been over a week of great visits and getting out and doing things and feeling almost like myself again, but now everyone's gone and tomorrow morning I'm going back to the clinic for another week of chemo. Suddenly it feels like I'm right back where I started.
