April 1, 2005 - Vegas here I come in need of friendly scrapping therapy!

How do you prepare and pack when you don't really know how long you'll be gone for? It's not an easy process. I called the oncologist office, but they couldn't really give me a clue. I'm thinking between 3 to 6 months, but still, how do you pack and prepare for an unknown future. It tooks some time, but finally we got the car all packed and we we're on the road by 7am. Viva Las Vegas.
On the 2nd in need of my own “therapy”, I rushed off to the one place I knew I could find my one friend closest to my heart, The Memories Expo. Because of everything going on, I had to cancel my trip and classes, but as it turned out, they still had my tickets at the door even though I had been given a refund. I scoured the floor in search of Sonia to surprise her. After all I had been though, I needed some time with a friend desperately. She was definitely surprised to see me - hell, I ran off to see her before seeing my own parents. But sometimes a girl just needs a hug from her friends. Here’s a pic from the Expo: me on the left, Sonia in the middle, and her pregnant sister in law Holly on the right.
