Laura and Jenny got in Friday night for a sisters weekend. We hopped in an uber and headed for the beach.
After dinner we tried that thing that’s on Tic Toc where you walk a funny way and get great selfies.
We obviously are doing something wrong.
Below is the youtube video of how it’s supposed to look. We will try again.
Every treatment day is pretty much the same so I’m running out of things to post. Sven and Sergio were even bored with it.
One of my nurses had these cute nails. She was thrilled I wanted to take a picture of them.
Everything went fine with treatment. Nothing new is a good thing.
Jeff’s mom, Jan passed away on Saturday. The Zeunert family all gathered during the week to sit with her and say our goodbyes. All three sons, their wives and all six grandsons were able to see her, Even Michael who sent her a video from Germany where he lives.
This is a picture of Jan from a few years ago with her favorite drink, a gin martini.
Here are a few more from several years ago.
Jan loved nothing more than a good party with family, so we did our best to gather and celebrate her. It was a week of sadness but also joy being together.
There was even a failed Muppet photo.
Jeff’s mom is not doing well so we made a last minute trip to Chicago. On Tuesday we spent time with her and also Jeff’s two brothers and their wives.
While we’re back for a sad reason, it’s nice to be all together. The Chicago Fall weather is incredible. When we’re not with Jan we’re able to take really beautiful walks.
They are gearing up for Halloween here. They had three of these displays with giant pumpkins. With the conversion pumpkins are about two US dollars a pound. I’m not sure if that’s expensive or not. But I’m pretty sure we won’t be buying this giant one. Mostly because it doesn’t have a nice green stem.
They also had sugar cane. Not sure what you do with it but it must be in season because it’s the first time I’ve seen it.
Jeff and I still have this cold. We’re better but coughing a lot. Today we got out for a little walk. It was pretty short but nice to get outside.
We aren’t sure what this was. Don’t think it’s a house but there is a water thing on the roof.
Still love doors.
Treatment day was on Monday but due to this cold I’m behind on my posts. Since the food is always the same, here is the view out the hospital room window instead.
These are my ice socks. Since these drugs can cause tingling in your hands and feet, wearing ice pack socks helps.
This is my care team. Isabella is the nurse administering the drugs. Ismerelda is the head nurse. She oversees Isabella. Julietta is my doctor. She oversees both of them and monitors me while I get the treatment.
We have had some crazy rain storms. This one was especially windy. But then after a nap woke up to a rainbow.
I wondered where the other half was. Sure enough out the living room window.
The puzzle mat has been fueling my puzzle addiction. Jeff and I both had horrible colds maybe covid last week which was a great excuse to do a new puzzle. When we ordered in dinner because we were too tired to cook, Jeff suggested we roll up the puzzle mat.
I suggested he eat dinner on the couch. I was hungry and I hate eating food on my lap so we did end up rolling it up. My next Amazon purchase might need to be TV tables.
I’m having blog problems. I’ve put in an urgent request to my IT guy. Well the first request is for him to make me coffee. But once he’s made and drank his coffee he said he will look at my issues.
All is well except for my blog.
Saturday was our 32nd wedding anniversary. We had planned to go out to dinner even though we were both fighting colds.
At 2pm our electricity, cell service and data went out. The entire Yucatan peninsula was out over 2.2 million people.
One thing our Airbnb does not have is a generator or flashlights. So once it got dark we used our phones the best we could.
I tried to take a selfie of us but it was literally completely dark even with a flash. Since everything was down there weren’t any restaurants open and our stove is electric. But we made due sitting on our balcony in the dark eating chips and salsa.
It was actually really fun. Sleeping without air conditioning wasn’t as great so we were happy when it went back on at 2am.
