Home Away From Home
Today we traveled back to Rochester, MN and tomorrow I start my treatments (I’ll post more about that later).
Since we will be here five weeks we wanted to rent an apartment or house rather than stay in a hotel. It was important to me that we find a place that was bright and cheery. I did not want to stay ion a dreary hotel room. I was hoping for a place that could feel like a home…a retreat to recuperate in after my treatment. A base that could offer us some normalcy.
We visited a fairly new apartment building [called The Lofts by Mayo Park] a couple weeks ago when we were here. Because of COVID new were not able to see any of the apartments, but we were able to tour the common areas. We met the owner of the building [this was her first development project so she and Jon hit it off]. The building felt like what we were looking for, so we rented the apartment site unseen.
We lucked out. The apartment is perfect. It is everything we hoped for. It gives us peace of mind to start the next part of this journey in a place where we can be comfortable.
