I went to the beach today.  I have gone a lot since I have been diagnosed and am able to not shit my pants all of the time.  It's quite lovely (not shitting my pants AND going to the beach).  Today, I went with Leslie.  We were there for quite some time and it was beautiful out.  We swam for a very long time, then just passed out on our towels.  On the drive home we listened to some very nostalgic music.  We talked of Matt and cried a little.  We took the scenic route, so it's pretty safe to say that this was, indeed, the best trip to the beach this summer.

I arrived home and Ray was already at work.  It was 5pm and the dishes were done (which is the direct route to my heart).  I began cooking (which is a very new and fun hobby of mine).  I cooked in the quiet house and chatted with Beatrice.  Once dinner was done, I sat to watch a movie.  30 minutes in my mother calls to see if I wanted to drive up to the girls campsite this evening.  I had just settled in for the evening so I declined the invite and had extended an invite for my mother to come watch movies with me.  She accepted and is on her way over now.

Tomorrow morning Katy and I are going for a very long walk to kick off our Labor Day weekend.  Half way through the walk, we will stop at Jamba Juice because I have just discovered my love for it and it is, basically, the only way you can get me up and walking butt early on a Saturday morning.

Dominic would have been 5 months old today.  I can not believe it has been 5 months since I've seen that face.  I still miss him so much.
