Body of Lies


Mom had a good chemo session on Friday and left feeling well. I sat in with her for a bit which I always enjoy. It gives us a chance to just sit and B.S. about whatever. We have each others undivided attention because there is nowhere else to go when you have an IV stuck in your arm.
After her treatment we went and had lunch at the Loose Caboose in Salinas, a little deli which has been there since the beginning of time. She was having a hankering for their clam chowder (chowda for those back East). Disappointed, she found that the recipe had changed since the last time she had it years ago. After lunch she went home for her daily nap. Tangent: There is really something to be said for a nap I think. It's so refreshing. Obviously her body is requiring more sleep as it is in a constant battle against the tumor. I like a nice nap...
At 4:00 we went to go see Body of Lies in Monterey. Good movie and very action packed. It was a bit on the graphic side for mom, who I caught more than once hidding her eyes. I wont give away any of the detail but it was a very good movie.
After the movie we grabbed a quick burrito. OK, there was nothing quick about it. I came to realize that Del Monte Mall has turned into quite the gen Y (I like to call this latest generation "Gen Me") hangout on a Friday night.
All in all another very nice day haging out with mom.

She now has a week off chemo then three on followed by another off and three more on. After that it will be time to re-evaluate and go from there.
