I am in a funk. I have been in one all week. I am finding people annoying. I am not sure if it is the dark weather, the upcoming third chemo treatment, or what. It probably is a combination of things.
Today is Noah's birthday (my middle child) and he is in Ketchikan for a middle school band fest. I would like him home for his birthday. I miss my kids when they are not around.
I am not looking forward to my third chemo treatment. Chemo is my current best friend and I need to keep a good attitude about that. Chemo will help me live longer. I love chemo, I love chemo, I love chemo. I need to say that a few more times during the weekend so I can feel some thankfulness about leaving my family (again) to go get my medicine.
I am looking forward to spending some quiet time at the hotel. I love laying in bed and watching TV. I consider that to be very decadent behavior. I can watch 'girl' things and no one will complain. There, I feel better already; focusing on fun things.
A friend of mine (thanks Kelly) sent me a gift certificate to Nordstrom. I am also looking forward to heading to their downtown department store and spending it. Maybe some new jammies?
After my two days of chemo I am flying further south to Palm Desert, Ca. I am looking forward to some time in the sun, a pedicure, and maybe a new haircut. I also get to spend time with my Dad. We can commiserate together the effects of chemo on our bodies.
I am tired tonight. I will take a long shower, drink some tea, and find a good book to read.
Thanks for reading.

Nolan was helping Noah celebrate! Probably Subway in their future. I'll be praying for you this week as you do the third chemo. Also, while I love "jammies," you know I'll always vote for a new purse! :)
ReplyDeleteHopefully the sunshine will help give you the needed boost, shopping helps too! We'll be praying that this round goes smoothly & that you have a wonderful vacation afterwards.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Deidra -- you can really never have too many purses. I hear they're like potato chips ... :) We continue to pray for you daily. Here's a pair of verses for you:
ReplyDelete"I can do everything through him who gives me strength." (Phil. 4:13)
"And my God will meet all of your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus." (Phil 4:19)
Enjoy your shopping trip (I vote jammies!)and your time in Palm Springs. There is a radio advertisement here in Juneau for a drawing to Palm Springs and I always think of you! Yes, chemo is your friend. Chemo is your friend. An annoying litle friend, but a helper friend nonetheless.
