Today was a good day. Hubby had an early doc apt before chemo, so we had time to kill while in Corpus.

we had lunch at Twin Peaks, a place that is kinda like Hooters, but instead of a sports theme it is more of a rugged, country, hunting theme. The waitresses are all very attractive young women in khaki shorts, red and black flannel tops tied under the bust with loads of cleavage on display. I felt zero guilt for enjoying the view.
Jaxynn
our waitress was really sweet, and she was wearing either perfume or lotion that smelled AMAZING. Over all aside from the blatantly attractive women on staff, our experience there was great. The food OMG. The venison chili was spectacular and the blackened shrimp gave me mouthgasms.
Jaxynn
I shouldn't say aside from, I should say in addition to the blatantly attractive women.

then, after lunch we hit Hobby Lobby so I could pick up some yarn. I promised another chemo patient's wife that I would teach her how to crochet today, since her hubby's appointment was around the same time as my hubby's.
Jaxynn
every time we go for hubby's chemo, I work on a blanket that I'm crocheting for him. She was fascinated by watching me work on it Monday, so I told her that I'd bring an extra hook and yarn with me today in case we were there at the same time. So I picked up one of those ergonomic crochet hooks with the thicker handle,
Jaxynn
since she's an older lady and admitted to arthritis. Figured it might be easier on her hands than one of the regular, scrawny metal hooks I tend to use. She actually did a great job learning how to crochet a simple chain, and even though she got a little frustrated with herself she said she had so much fun.

That's really sweet that you helped her with the crocheting lessons. Not surprised you are rather sweet that way. Also, yay to food outing! Hope Mr. Jaxy is doing ok and likes the card I sent him today.
Jaxynn
It felt good to see her smile and be proud of herself each time she stretched out her chain to check her progress. Their session finished before ours and I let her keep the hook and yarn so she can practice all she wants. She was on her phone a lot the first day so I suggested if she gets stumped, to check youtube for some
Jaxynn
instructional videos, but warned her not to get lost down the youtube rabbit hole by getting side tracked by cat videos like I do. LOL. Hubby had a nice relaxing nap during chemo, and was pretty chatty the whole way home. Likely due to the steroid that is in the cocktail they give him. They make him a little anxious and energetic.
Jaxynn
Chance : I haven no doubt he will love any card you send him <3

oh that is so lovely of you. I'm sure she values your help to keep her occupied and enjoy learning something new :-)

Hubby is enjoying some quality time with Recon outside. We don't take him to chemo with us because we don't know if any of the other patients are allergic to dogs or not. Its just over all not a good idea to take him into the chemo room. So Recon misses daddy a LOT and has started to act out because of it.
Jaxynn
As long as hubby spends time with him outside when we get home Recon behaves better.

🌈Chandni🏳️‍🌈 : Yes! I caught her hubby watching her too, and when she would make a mistake he would encourage her, and if she went yarn under hook instead of yarn over, he'd remind her. They're really a sweet pair.
