After 4 months of
hell,Radlad and Chemo Girl headed out for a mini adventure.
We had a few options to
choose from.
1)
Colorado – Seemed ok. Except the 12 hour car
ride there and back. And finding someone to stay with seemed to be harder than
we thought. By the time we got a response, it was too late. We had chosen
elsewhere
2)
New Jersey – The only bad thing about this was
the flight. Since my immune system is so low I would have had to wear a mask in
the plane and around the airport. I did not want to risk the chance of
infection with the end being so close.
3) Austin
– Was our destination of choice. It was close enough so if I got sick , we
could come home. We knew plenty of people to hang out with. AND we had a
plethora of stuff to do.
So with minimal effort, I found a decently priced hotel room for the 4th
– 7th.
We went to the Oasis on
the 4th. We sat and watched the sunset and had decent Mexican food. Watched
fire works get set off all over Lake Travis. Then we went back to a friend’s
house for beers. We decided to end the day around midnight. Headed back to our
hotel and slept.
We went to the state
capital on the 5th. It’s a pretty building. We took a few pictures
and lazed around downtown. Went back to rest for a bit, Then headed over to a
another friends home for a cookout and chatting.
6th we went
wandering around downtown. Went shopping. Found some awesome things at a few
vintage/thrift stores. Rested. Went to
the local gothy club for an industrial show. Went back to the hotel and slept.
7th – woke up
and came home. Went to the local diner aka my home
That’s that I did not
like about the vacation:
How tired I was after
doing anything
I didn’t get to do half
of the things I wanted to do
My internal alarm clock
woke me up at 9am – every day
Things that were good
about the vacation:
It’s Austin, so no one
looked over twice at the girl with the missing hair.
Resting
Free Breakfast at the
hotel – OATMEAL
Discovering new places to
eat
It’s only 4 hours away so
I can go back.
Hanging out with friends.
Meeting new people.
Not being a cancer
patient.
I'm glad you and Radlad had time to get away.
