home alone

Luke is off at the Seattle Juggling Festival this weekend. I enjoy my weekends home alone... I go to bed earlier, get up earlier, go shopping and all sorts of fun things like that. This weekend I was involved with the 24-relay for the Easter Seals camps for kids. It was ok. I ran twice, about 9k in total.

Before I was picked up yesterday I walked up the street to Lush and got my new favourite deoderant... it's called Aromacreme and it smells so good. Then I went for a bikini wax. I've been getting these for a while now and I figure I'll go once more before we leave for Hawaii and then maybe once while we're there? Ooh a bikini wax at the Grand Wailea, wouldn't that be fancy? :)

While I was at the relay waiting for my next run I walked over to metrotown and did a little more shopping. I bought some new underwear and a new bra. I don't really like wearing bras. I'd rather wear one of those little tank tops with built in support under my t-shirts. Oh well this is a nice lacy one so maybe I'll wear it more. I bought MORE Lush stuff too. I got a really nice face mask and a lavender bath bomb. When I got home last night (after dad drove out from Gubby's to pick me up and drive me home - THANK YOU SO MUCH!) I smeared on my face mask and climbed in a hot bath. When I got out I just put on my housecoat and climbed into bed. Slept solid till 7:30 this morning. Jebus wakes up every weekend morning at 7:30 and wants to be scratched and pet and loved to pieces. He meows like crazy till he gets the attention he wants and so far I've decided to stay awake and not roll over and go back to sleep. I might have a nap later when I get back from yoga.

Now something about Gubby that I have hesitated to write about for a while because I'm not sure what to say. She has cancer. It's in her lungs, liver, bones and brain. Mom is spending every night out there because she can't be alone right now. She has an appointment at the cancer clinic tomorrow and I hope they'll give us some insight as to what will happen next. Apparently Gubby has a really high tolerance for pain though and so she doesn't have any discomfort, which is really good. Seems more and more as though this is the way everyone's life will end - because of cancer. If you get old enough, you'll get it, it's pretty much guaranteed. So I guess you kind of take these things day by day and be happy that you have such wonderful memories. And that's all I have to say about that right now.

Oh also, Happy Father's Day to all you fantastic fathers out there. ;)
