[dockam]

Saw that is was gonna be 67 and Sunny over the Weekend, so took a lil trip back to Ventura for a getaway and Gustatory delights💙

"Ventura highway in the sunshine

Where the days are longer

The nights are stronger

Than moonshine

You're gonna go, I know"

Soaked up the sun...

I love the Ventura area, especially Ojai

It's a lil over a 2 hr drive from Tehachapi and when I saw that it was gonna be Sunny down there, I had to "just do it" and I had a Blast. " Life's too short to stay home"

My best to y'all

Fight on, Travel on

Travel is great, spent last week in Nashville with some great friends

[dockam in reply to mrscruffy]

Yes, a change of venue gets you outta a maybe stale environment. I was in Nashville in Oct and saw Elton John, and I have a new Friend out there who got my extra ticket.

Doc, You are livin' the life.

I used to travel to Ventura, Oxnard, Ojai and Santa Barbara once or twice a year. Always had fantastic times (sailing the channel islands, fresh swordfish, fishing off the pier, the SB mission, walking on the beach, beer in a bucket, and other more sensual pursuits. I;m just say'n...

Mahalo nui loa Bruddah,

As I said above, I saw that was gonna be sunny and the office was closed from Weds thru Monday. Didn't wanna be up here at 4000ft and in the 40s weatherwise.

Booked a cheap Motel and then drove down.

Yes, Livin' Large whist I still can, just go and drive alone and not need anyone to help me.

Someday I won't be able, and then will have my Google photos albums to reminisce.

Since I was Hawaii born, the Beach is a refuge for relaxation.

Fight on, Beach on, Live on

How on Earth did I miss this? What a great time! And I love The Jolly Oyster's philosophy!

[dockam in reply to siouxbee19]

Just a two hour drive, and get to be on the Beach with beers and Seafood. That's my kind of weekend.

Chemo's been kicking my ass lately. Missed a lot of good posts including this one.

[dockam in reply to CAMPSOUPS]

Oh no Brother, nausea, fatigue, neuropathy?

[CAMPSOUPS in reply to dockam]

Thanks, no worries in fact I don't want to diminish the good vibes of your post.

Docetaxel 3 years ago wasnt bad wasnt good for me but this time around definitely harder.

That crash that comes about 3 days after infusion hits me hard with bone pain and restless syndrome and just plain overall discomfort. Now I am finding that when that's over I get another crash of a stomach pain, nausea, intense malaise.

But hey I estimate I am getting at least 11 good days out of the 21 between infusions lol.

I took this picture about 2 blocks from my home after one of my infusions. I saw it as a sign from nature that I'm going to be ok.

It'll be ok.

[dockam in reply to CAMPSOUPS]

Yes, enjoy the natural Beauty that surrounds you, it's all part of the use of QoL things to keep your mind off whatever you're dealing with.

My Best to you my Brother💙

Fight on, Heal on, Live on, Laugh on

Here is a 22 yr old Jazz singer that hearkens back to those Ladies of Jazz.
