My New Car



I got my new car on Monday.  Yay.  It has been so much fun driving it.  After 2 days of almost non-stop driving around, I was limping because I had hurt my foot.  
Yesterday was quite awful.  Patrick and I went to a funeral for Trevor Watson, a person we had met from the support group.  He got mesothelioma almost around the same time as me.  He wasn't using the chemo drug Alimta.  He told us that he was using something else and I thought it was just his oncologist's decision but it was mentioned at his funeral that it was due to the cost of the drug.  Who knows if that would have made a difference.
I'm pretty excited as tonight my brother Paul is arriving.  He will be staying for about 10 days.
I don't think I need to explain that the attached photos are of my new Mini Cooper S Cabrio :-)

You and Patrick look very comfortable in your new car. Don't know much about cars but I do like convertibles and I love the colour you have chosen. Gosh- with the amount of driving you are doing you will be up for your first car service well ahead of schedule.

Our best wishes and thoughts are with you after yesterday's funeral of your friend. If cost was a factor in Alimta not being used the sooner it is available the better for all.

Keep smiling and positive. Enjoy your new baby ( car) . Hope you have a fab time catching up with your brother.
