I don't know what else to say. I just finished my last radiation and I am done with my treatment for Hodgkin's. I think it will take a couple days to set in that I don't have to go any more and that when I start feeling stronger I will get to continue feeling stronger instead of getting some treatment that makes me feel like crap.
I already started celebrating with mochi ice cream. Yum! I love it.
Now Matt and I are trying to decide where to go to dinner, then we are going to a poetry slam, which may sound weird to you, it sounds weird to me too. But one thing I have been thinking is that I do way too much of the same thing over and over and I need some new experiences. Some may just be different, like the poetry slam, others may take an interest further, like the journaling class I am going to take at the community college, and some may push me a little in my fears, like learning to paddle in the open ocean. Regardless, I am tired of doing the same things, going to the movies, etc and not being satisfied with the experience. It is time for new experiences. There is no good reason I have to only do things that I have already done. There are a million things I have never done that there is no good reason I shouldn't try (all of them legal). So I am off to my new adventure. Hopefully my first try at this - the poetry slam- doesn't suck.
Peace,

Me, Linda and Josh. Isn't the lei Linda brought me pretty?
Josh and Matt getting into the poetry groove.
The poetry slam was great fun!
