Its the night before I leave for my trip.  I am alittle nervous but excited.  Talked to Kelly on the phone tonight and she is excited to have me come down.  Shes got alot of little things planned.  thats good - keep me busy!  I am all packed and ready to go.  My good friend Debbie is picking me up at 7am and taking me to the airport, which is only 10 minutes away.  My parents will pick me up on saturday afternoon. 
It will be nice to get away after dealing with 6 1/2 weeks of radiation.  Can't believe its been a month!  That went so fast.  I finished on 4/2 and April went so fast.  I am taking the tamoxifen right now and so far I have reacted pretty good with it.  No side effects.  Of course, its pretty early to tell.  I just refilled the prescription bottle today and I did remember to put the meds in my bag (took just enough for the week and kept the new bottle here in the kitchen). 
This morning I went on Southwest.com to self check at 9am this morning, 24 hours before I left.  I am happy to see that I am in the A group.  I guess that means that I am the 2nd group to board.  No assigned seating but HOPEFULLY I will be able to get a window seat.  I am #33.  Thats from Buffalo to Baltimore.  Baltimore to Buffalo I am also A but #44.   just 10 people more.  Thats ok.  I am still the 2nd group to board on that one.  Easy to remember.
The weather here in Buffalo was so windy.  I think it was 60 mph.  Didn't rain but I had to pick up the recycle bin about 5 times and put it back on the porch!  Very annoying.  Hopefully the wind will calm down so I can get the hell out of here in the morning.

Yay, don\'t be nervous, you\'re gonna have a great time! Sounds like you will be busy, that\'s good. The radiation stuff has to be hard on you. I\'m glad you can get away from it. 60 mph is fast, don\'t blow away!! You have a great time and don\'t forget to check in!! :-)
