ARIZONA DREAMING.

All the ground is snow
All the ground is snow
And the skies are gray
And the skies are gray
I’ve been on a run
I’ve been on a run
On a winter’s day
On a winter’s day
I’d be feelin’ warm
I’d be feelin’ warm
If I was in AZ
If I was in AZ
Arizona dreamin’
Arizona dreamin’
On such a winter’s day.

(Just my own rendition of another song you might know or remember, and hopefully I don't get in trouble for plagiarism here. )

As I was driving my dad to another chemo appointment yesterday and today, I couldn't help but think that a year ago today, Don and I were on our way to Phoenix so he could run the Lost Dutchman marathon and I could visit relatives, both which were in Apache Junction. While it wasn't "hot" while we were there, it definitely beat the weather we were having here. The best part was the nearly every day blue skies, something we don't see often here, even in good weather. And it definitely would be a treat to be able to experience it again this year.

One more treatment, on March 7, and hopefully that will be it! I figured it would happen sooner than it did, but I have to say I am getting really tired of this whole routine. Thankfully, our weather on all the other treatment days was as decent as you could expect for this time of year, but yesterday I think finally put me over the edge. We missed a lot of the storm, but with this cold even a little snow cover turns to ice under heavy traffic. So it was another white-knuckle drive day.

I really am hoping I can get away, even if only a short visit. I am ready!
