Feeling Like Myself

This is the end of Wednesday and I have had  two strong days.  I worked, met with my girlfriends Tuesday night, felt like my old self and laughed. Today I was at work again.  Notice, no crying or whining.  Being in the midst of activity at Neighborhood Ministries was great.  I only feel bad that I am there for such a small amount of time when there is so much to be done.  Summer Interns are there now, and the level of activity is high getting ready for this summer's Kid's Club.  There isn't  much time to play catch up over what I have missed in the days I have been gone, just jump in and line up some things for the next week.  My on and off schedule have left many others covering for me along with all their other duties.  

I can't believe that tomorrow it starts all over again.  The great news is that this is round # 4 of chemo, so that means that I am half way through!  After tomorrow, I will be done with the 1st chemo drug and on to another, which they say is generally tolerated better by most women.  Woo hoo!  I will keep all this in mind over the next several days.  

I will not be going to Sonic for my cold drink tomorrow, I am really sickened by the thought of all that overly sweet slushy.  My plan is to try something really cold but not very sweet.  Right now Ice Tea with lemon and no sugar sounds pretty good.  Or unsweetened  Iced coffee.  It just has to last about 25 minutes and be REALLY cold.  Maybe coffee in my stomache isn't the best idea ....... Someone needs to make an Arnold Palmer icee for Circle K stores.  

I haven't lost my eyelashes or eyebrows yet, so I am thinking that I may actually get to keep them the whole way through. I would like this very much.  I can deal with it if not.  But still.

No plans for the weekend, we have a couple of movies in case I happen to have any interest or energy for them.  Plus I have a couple of books to read if I can stay awake.  Maybe this weekend I will even be up to sitting out on the patio with  my feet in the pool and Dan on one side and Zeke's big wet nose nudging me on the other.  Hopefully I will write in this blog so you will know how it is going.....   :-)  Carmine
