I wish that I had a happy post for you guys about my wonderful weekend home with CP and Fuzzy Britches. I mean, I did have a lovely weekend home. It was just way too short. We had our first kayaking excursion on a nearby river where we saw tons of sunning turtles, a beaver, two blue herons, and tons of birds. It was nice to get back on the water, but I should have put suntan lotion on my arms! They are fried!
This weekend was supposed to be full of addressing wedding invitations, but it was just so nice to be home that neither of us really had the motivation. Plus, we decided that we are just going to use our printer to do the envelopes. MUCH easier. I left CP with “homework” to look over the collection of not-so-cheesy wedding vows and ceremony readings about love (i.e. non-religious ones) to see if he liked anything. I also left him with my homemade rosemary-garlic-asiago bread (yum!) and a strawberry rhubarb pie (also yum!). This past weekend was our first pickup at the CSA so I was able to use freshly picked strawberries and rhubarb. :-)
But now I am back in DC. Not sleeping in my bed. Not waking up to Fuzzy Britches panting. Having to deal with my crazy boss.
And now, I just got an email from one of my bridesmaids (the friend from high school). She had problems after deciding to go on the pill for the first time in her life- hysterical crying, depression, etc. I told her about my awful experience with a generic pill about two years ago which made her feel less crazy. However, I guess that although she started feeling better in the days after she stopped taking the pill, she has gotten worse again. She said that she has turned into a hypochondriac and has convinced herself that she is dying. I guess some pre-cancerous cells popped up on her latest pap and she has to go back for additional testing next week.
Her father died of cancer about four years ago so that might have something to do with it? I don’t know where all of this has suddenly come from and I’m really worried. She keeps apologizing and calling herself a “psycho bridesmaid” but that is the least of my worries….
Ummm, happy Monday?

I was diagnosed with cervical cancer about 5 years ago so I understand what your friend is going through. My cancer cells were only stage 1 because they were caught so early, but life sure can get turned upside down quickly. If your friend needs someone to talk to let me know.
I had surgery to remove the cells and none have shown up since...Yippee! But, it was a good 3 years of appt. after appt. before all was well. I wish her the best of luck and pray that the abnormal cells are just that "abnormal". Best wishes!!
1 - You must send me the recipes for this rosemary-garlic-asiago bread. :)
2 - I hope your friend feels better soon. I had some precancerous cells once and luckily since then I've been clean of them. But it is definitely a scary experience.
I am so sorry for your friend. A few years back, I had some pre-cancerous cells that were found and I was fortuante to have caught it before they got worse. It is a scary thing but there are so many options out there.
Here's hoping that things with your friend get better in no time. A little information and additional testing will hopefully do the trick. And here's also hoping your CSA brings you your own sense of peace. We've been whipping through the contents of ours within a few days!
