Ran Away from Home--Had an Extended Blast

I haven't blogged for a while because I haven't done anything except recover from chemo.  Had a transfusion on the 16th and that perked me up a little.  Last Tuesday, that would be the 23rd, Dory picked me up around 11 and we were off for a three day stay at the Silver Legacy in Reno.  Thursday, as we were thinking about going home the next day, we decided to stay over another night and come home Saturday.  we were having such a good time.  The same thing happened on Friday.  We kept crazy hours, we ate when we felt like it, we never went outside between turning the car over to the valet and retrieving it.  We laughed most of the time.  I played many machines--Dory would find one she liked and stay there.  We each have our own code.  I don't smoke, I don't drink, I hardly ever go to the movies--slots are entertaining as hell for me.  I spent lots of time playing on house money.
We packed up this morning and left before breakfast so we couldn't change our minds again.  I really did need to come home.  We stopped at Boomtown for breakfast and a little slots.  I kept setting times that we should leave and we kept ignoring them.  We actually got into the car around 2--and decided to play just a little longer.  So we played a bit more, watched the end of the Giants game on the jumbo screen, thought about spending the night there--but I was out of clean clothes and really did need to get home.  I called Glenn just before we left so there was no turning back.  We had dinner at Lou LaBonte's just before Auburn and got home a little after nine.  Two very happy old ladies.  Now we're plotting our next trip.
I'm feeling good--still some abdominal soreness, but my energy is coming back.  Have to figure out how to be a normal person again.
xxooxx
