Today it was forecasted to reach 40... and I believe it reached the mid-50's!
I'm still trying to shake a cold... but woke up feeling better and my cough seemed to have improved. Heather and I had one missions for the day, to take a long walk. So we decided to mix that in with some Sunday brunch. I was up before the sun, again. Is there something about chemo that has me waking up daily before 6 am? I mean come on body, you love to sleep in ... and this is insane! As Heather slept in, I caught a beautiful sunrise and was one of probably very few people before 7 am the Sunday morning we sprang ahead. It gave me a great opportunity to do some research for new brunch places.
When Heather got up, we were off on a brunch adventure. We decided to incorporate our walk with brunch, and set out to check on a new place called Black Sheep. As soon as we walked in, we knew we liked the place when painted on a pillar was a sign "Seat Your Damn Self". The decor, the people, the food... we felt like we were back in Seattle. After a fabulous meal, we concluded we will be back ... and may become regulars.
From brunch we kept walking through Walker's Point, a neighborhood next to ours (Third Ward). The weather was beautiful, the walk plentiful, and the company could not be beat! We walked 3 miles, which was awesome!
Sadly, when we got home, my cough got worse and continued to through the night. That didn't stop Heather and I from having an amazing day... and weekend. We both went to sleep on Sunday night feeling like we'd finally had some time for 'us' this weekend and finally re-connected as a couple for the first time since this entire cancer experience began.
