I had my radiation in the morning - Grant took a very syfy looking picture of me laying on the table. He said it reminded him of the movie "Coma" where all the old bodies were just hanging there in suspension - waiting to have their body parts harvested! EEEWWW.
Then, after breaking the glass on my iPhone - we went to the Apple store for repairs. We met Pamela Shandrow at her place to take the car to the nearest Goodwill in search of ugly Christmas sweaters - but there weren't too many to choose from - so we settled for some ugly holiday colored sweaters that we will use fabric paint and frills to embellish. I found a cute cat T-shirt that looks like Stella dressed as a snowman that will work just fine for me!
I was worn out after all of that running around - so I took a nap while Grant went out to pick up a salad for dinner - and got to the theatre for rehearsal at 5PM. My number in the Christmas show - "Man With The Bag" features 4 of the hot and hunky dancers from Wicked and is stylized perfectly for the song! They lift me and carry me around the stage - it's gonna be such a fun number - hope I don't fall!
I felt pretty good during the show - just conserving my energy to get through the whole thing. Thank God for make-up and wigs! They can cover the sunken dark circles under my eyes and my thinning hair.
After the show - I introduced Grant to Keith Bearden, Jonathan McGill, Rick Desloge, Cassie Okenka, and Kevin McMahon ( and their pets) while we had some traditional Irish pub food. It is already getting very cold again - so we just made our way back to the apartment and called it a night.
Today - The traffic is terrible so it took us a while to hail a cab out in the terrific cold! But radiation was a breeze - and I entered the facility like a celebrity coming in the back door of a Beverly Hill's plastic surgeon's office - incognito!
Both Grant and I wanted to experience some authentic Chicago deep dish pizza - so we found Gino's East Pizzeria around the corner and stuffed the pie into our gullets! There will be lots of leftovers for me to enjoy for days to come.

After a quick (and I mean quick because it is too cold for humans to be living in this city outside) jaunt through the Christmas market for a hot mulled wine we ran for the warmth of my apartment to shower and get ready for the rest of the day. So many people saw us carrying our take-out box of Gino's pizza and offered to take it off our hands - we should have started a bidding war!
