Back home and reality has hit my smack in the face. I have so much yard work to do. Being away for a couple of months it has gotten out of hand, plus cutting everything off before winter so I have a lot to do.  I spent about 6 hours outside today and only got the front yard done. I have hired a couple of local boys to come and help me on the weekend. I think this is a job bigger than I can handle right now.  Thank goodness there are some great kids around who are ready and willing to work. 👍🏻

I Have also found being back home right now is hard.  My emotions are all over the place I am crying at the drop of a hat. Really for no reason. I just am. I think it is coming home alone again, I really want to be with Jamie and as soon as I get my doctor appointments done and my yard caught up I will head back to Fort St John. I have had such an emotional ride this last year. Good news…Bad news…maybe it is catching up to me. I know how lucky I am to be alive and well. I just came back from Mexico with such great news, but here I am feeling so emotional. Crazy how our emotions work.  Pull your socks up Beth and get on with your life. That’s what I am going to do. 😊

A few stories to tell…I came back from Mexico with a lot of supplements this time. Because I don’t have to go back for 6 months. I brought home a whole suitcase full of stuff. So to go through customs I had to tell them that I had all this stuff and it added up to quite a bit too.   Cathy and I got up to the counter, where the agents are and they are always so straight faces and not to nice. He asked me why I was so much over on my amount I was allowed to bring back to Canada.. I told him I was bringing back supplement, he asked do you own a supplement store?   (I told you I had a lot of stuff ) anyway I said no !! It was treatment supplies for Cancer. The good old cancer card. Got Cathy and I both throught and he didn’t make me pay for being over.  Finally a nice agent. 😬 so happy. 

Then Cathy and I are so in sinc sometimes it is just funny. We are on the airplane and I am the window seat Cathy is the middle seat. A lady sits next to us on the isle. The flight takes off and Cathy and I both lay back to have a sleep. This lady digs out a bag of something, it looks like a chip bag but she is digging into it and it is a very noise bag of whatever. She is trying to get something out of the bottom of the bag, she digs and digs and digs. I look at her Cathy looks at her. My OCD goes into high gear, like when I hear someone chew I loose my mind.  Then Cathy and I look at each other and we start to laugh. Just a little at first then we can’t stop, tears running down my face. Finally !!!! Finally she puts the bag away. We both sigh with relief. Off to sleep we go. Then about an hour later I wake up to her digging in this stupid bag again. We both laugh again. We never did figure out what she was looking for in that bag. Some toy or something. Lol lol 

Last of all I thanked  my sister Cathy in my last blog for being my partner in crime through this journey in Mexico. I also need to thank my sister Lynne for taking me to airport at the ungodly hour in the morning and for picking me up at night to bring me home. I have the best sisters in the whole world, and I know it. Thanks so much you two for all your support. Cancer really affects the whole family not just the person who has it. I know all of my family has hoped and prayed with me and for me to get through this. I am so lucky to have so much support, family is everything. I know that because of all of you I am doing so great. I will continue to fight, because I have you all. Much love to each and every one of you ❤️❤️

Today’s saying : As long as we have memories, yesterday remains. As long as we have hope, tomorrow awaits.  As long as we have, love, today is beautiful.
