catch up..

ok... so what has happened, that ya'll need to know about...

so before jamaica we had thanksgiving at our place with Shahrzad's sister and husband. It was the first time any of us had attempted to cook a thanksgiving meal, but fortunately it turned out amazing.

So a few weeks after that we went to jamaica. We kinda had planned going somewhere when intensification was done as a pat on the back just for getting through it. I'm glad that we actually did go, instead of it being something that was just hoped for. We had an amazing time there but yet at the same time we got bored really fast. See, the thing is we have been just sitting around for the past year (granted it was while enduring difficulties), and that is what you want to do on a vacation. It's like your life was on pause and you just want to press play and get it started again. While basking in the sun that was some of our conversation of how we were both nervous, excited and anxious about getting back to normality.

There really isn't much to mention about the trip except for the sun, relaxation and the one tour we took to Negril beach and Rick's cafe where we saw cliff divers... The tour was excellent. The tour guide was telling us about the island while we were on our hour and a half trip to our destination... did you know (if I remember correctly) that jamaica has some of the purest drinking water and has the most churches per square mile than anywhere else. Once we arrived we just went onto the beach to sun bathe. After about 30 mins of that, I jumped onto a jet-sky and had my fun!! After some gift shopping later in the afternoon, we headed to rick's cafe. We were there for the sunset while watching the cliff divers.

so what's going on now... We are trying to get to my cousins wedding (congratulations!!), which is a little over a week after the new years... Hopefully we can make it. It would be nice cause quite a few members of my family are going to be there and it would be real nice to see them.

I am also trying to join a gym and get a personal trainer. I have a consultation with a trainer that has worked with cc patients in the past tomorrow. I am really looking forward to this cause I have been lying down for a year and all my muscles have atrophied. It will also be something I can do to help maintain my health.

Shahrzad's in New York right now helping her sister find an apartment. The plan was for me to be there also, but we completely forgot about the fact that I have chemo appointments that I have to be at. It's weird that she's gone. We have spent the the past 2 years everyday together.. and when I say that, I'm not kidding; we have literally spent no more than 4 hours apart the past 2 years... we need this time apart cause it's nice to miss the person you love... it reminds me of the beginning of our 'courtship' when we were maintaining a long distance relationship... she's like my the other half of me... it hasn't been 12 hours yet and I miss her like it's been days...

anyways it's getting late and I promised my wife I would take care of myself...

peace
