THANK YOU, WHOEVER, FOR CUTTING ME SOME SLACK....

So, number 7 is over.
and for some reason, it was relatively easy.....
which is a surprise. Last treatment was a bear.
And not a nice cuddly bear,
but a mean ugly bear.

And this time around, I'm not saying it was fun,
cause spending 2 days in bed because even your hair feels poisoned
isn't fun.... but come friday night this time,
I felt okay to join the family on a dinner outing.

I'm sort of surprised,
I thought I was going into this round pretty wiped out.
Parent teacher conferences last week,
as much fun as they were,
they were also exhausting......
I'd much rather put out the energy with thirty 8 year olds,
than to hang with their parents for 8 hours, two days in a row...
no offense, folks.

This, I'm thrilled to say, is the first time I've felt like
there's not many of these left.  I've done 7, and I only have 5 left...
I've got more behind me than in front,
and that feels good.

I've changed my work schedule a little.
I'm going to be taking a little more time off,
which I think is going to help.

So here's to 5 more easy treatments.......



so, truth be told, Maya deserves this drink more than I do.  She has taken over so much responsibility, is working triple hard to keep this ship afloat, and so, raise a cup for her, please!

Chester was pretty interested in my cup right before the Big Smashola....

...yes, that's the top of the compost bin.

MINI UPDATE

as I head into treatment #7,
the beginning of the downward slope,
I wanted to share:

my MRI on Monday was totally clean.

good good news,
phew.

okay, that is all.
back to bed.
