a busy and fun weekend continues, although maybe not so much for jane, who is on call through monday. beepers buzzing, running into the hospital in the early morn, etc.. a bit of sniffling from the taxotere and other hypersensitivity reactions ... but getting there, slowly but surely.
we are all buoyed and occupied with stuart and eileen's visit, and seeing our nephew josh and niece amanda. they arrive on sunday as we are on our way home from a lovely brunch - sort of a 'jewish easter' celebration - on this, most lovely of spring days. we enjoy a big sunday lunch together, then start to get ready in costumes for a new jersey bat mitzvah ... it's a 'purim party' so everyone is asked to be dressed in inspired finery, and josh and amanda are joining us to. that's seven costumes to find and outfit at the last moment (what else is new for us!) ... but we pull it off. jane is a witch, i'm a goth version of 'snape', marlee is a japanese maiden, josh is a chinese waiter, amanda is a karate black belt, jared a baseball player, and andi a mid-fielder for the moroccan soccer team.
we have a fabulous time at the fete, lots of good friends, music, food, and general merriment - and needless to say, the kids have a blast. after a positively tortuous drive home - agonizing really - we make it back to long island. blowing up beds, covering pillows, and undoing costumes is followed by a relatively early evening ... another day tomorrow, action packed as ever.
two weeks from today, and jane goes in for reconstruction surgery, which i'm sure will advance the whole process forward.
