Finito!

So this is the sign that greets you when you check in at radiation, and yesterday as you can see, was not a good day for the machines. In fact, when I arrived, machine 241 was also on the list.

However, miraculously, they took me in EARLY! Woohoo! So I was done (how I love that word: DONE!) early!

Yes, I made Rob (the receptionist) smile when I arrived, took out my big bowl of cookies that had "THANK YOU!" stickered across the lid, and said, "You know what this means, don't you?"

He congratulated me and I continued to beam at everyone in sight and told the techs (i.e., they who actually zap me) that the cookies were out front with Rob. (I was also gratified to note that half of the mixing-bowl-sized container was gone by the time I left.)

I celebrated last night by going home and doing laundry. Heh.

No, really, my sweetie is actually taking me out to dinner tonight, at this sushi restaurant I've been wanting to try -- Sushi Yasuda -- which could in fact be the one my engineer once tried ("It was near the UN and was some of the best sushi I ever had... but I can't remember where it was") and if so, I will feel virtuous when the check comes ;-)

Next month, we will continue the celebration by going away for a long weekend. I put it off for a few weeks because the way I feel these days, I'd be sleeping the whole weekend, and that would be a waste of a trip. "No, you go hiking sweetie, and I'll just take a nap here." -- Um, I think not. So, November it is. :-)

This morning, my coworkers were very sweet and surprised me with a little fete. Julia brought in homemade lemon cookies (yum!!) and they sprang for an assortment of mini-cupcakes from Crumbs. It's a good thing my new WW session doesn't start till tomorrow. (heh)

Okay, lunch time is OVAH.
