A Trip To Lusaka In The Making

     My mom's cancer treatment has been every two weeks, with a three day treatment process. It's got it's ups and downs, with a new drug that doesn't give her adverse reactions to cold. She's been seeming to react well to the previous treatment, the current treatment is to see what more progress can be made. 

     Recently found my passport, as I need to renew it. Planning on visiting Lusaka, Zambia. Have a friend I'll be visiting there. She's currently got one child, a daughter who's in school as a 9 year old. As it turns out, even though my passport is expired,  there's a 15 year period from the initial issue to be able to mail it in with pictures which simplifies the process, I think. Had it been past the 15 years, I would have to do the whole process again as if for the 1st time. I'll have to wait 6 months after it has become valid again before I can consider the trip to Lusaka. It'll give me time to save and plan for the trip.
