Today was Yazmin's last round of chemo and now she is cancer free and out the door...only to come back to see us as a visitor!! It is so incredibly exciting to see people go through this journey and to be done and go back to living their life. I can clearly remember the day she came in and was diagnosed and it is so crazy to me that her treatment is already over. I am sure it went by much slower for her, but for those of us at the hospital, it just seemed to fly by. She was an awesome patient and responded fairly well to everything we threw at her and now she can go to dance camp and be a senior in high school and grow her hair back and just let leukemia be part of her past. Although, I keep telling her she should stay bald because she looks stunning.
So, because of that, work was great last night. Her mom made a huge dinner for all of us and it was just laid back and we got to hang out and laugh. We were a little short staffed as a unit so I got talked into staying a 12 hour shift instead of my scheduled 8 hour one. I usually don't mind that and I can definitely use the money these days. Plus, once you make it past about 11:00, you are just kind of sitting there anyway...although last night was a little crazy and busy till after midnight.
I am glad to have the whole day off today though. I slept in pretty amazingly and then have been having a hard time getting moving today. I came downstairs and had breakfast and after listening to music on my computer for about an hour, I decided I wanted to go back up and get back in bed. Hahahaha. I am lazy. So I ended up reading for a while and then taking another little nap, which was pretty awesome. My only goal for the day as far as being productive was to get my laundry done and for a little bit there, I didn't think I was going to make it and get it done, but alas, I woke up and got moving and my laundry is currently washing. This is probably my last time to have to do laundry at the laundromat!! I cannot wait to have my own washer and dryer in my house!! Yea!! So, I just have to dry my laundry and then I am going to head over to Sarah's house to hang out with everyone and sit around and be sad that she is leaving.
I cannot believe that she is actually moving tomorrow morning. I am strongly in denial about it. I don't really think it is going to hit any of us until she is actually gone for a little bit and we realize we can't call her to hang out. I have said goodbye to the Robison's before when I left for Florida, but it was hard then. Then again, we survived 8 years of living in different states, we can definitely survive 3. And plus, I still have Kathryn...hahaha. One twin is better than no twins. So, that is my big plan for the night...sit on the floor of their entirely packed up apartment and just laugh and hang out. Then I have a ridiculously long week of work - I work Monday through Friday...blah. But it is like "camp" week at work so we get to dress up everyday and not have to wear scrubs everyday...which is always awesome.
This summer is going by super fast, but I am kind of glad because I am ready to get back in school and get finished and also ready for it to quit being so dang miserably hot outside. I seriously hate walking outside...you just start sweating immediately. It's no fun at all. Oh well, I guess that is what I get for moving back to Texas.
