A Break While I'm Awake

Not sure how long I will make it into this post. I am so unbelievably tired. Luckily, I am not feeling nauseated today, just really, really tired. I have hardly left the couch today, and I have been sleeping on and off. I had planned a lot of relaxing, easy-to-do-from-the-couch activities for the day — lettering, thank you notes, making a meal plan and grocery list for the week. But I have not gotten one thing done. Still trying hard to relax, but I am still a little disappointed I didn’t get to anything I wanted to. It’s kind of hard to explain how I feel today — just weak, lethargic and flushed … and tired!

I got my wigs yesterday. I LOVE one of them — the hand-tied one that is supposed to be more comfortable for total hair loss. And let me tell you, it is! I am so glad I ordered it. With wigs, you get what you pay for, and it was definitely worth the splurge. I wore it out to dinner and the movie last night, and I felt much more comfortable than with my caps on. It will be nice to have options now. When I want to dress up or feel “normal,” I can wear my wig, and when I want to be comfortable, I can wear my caps. I don’t know many people in this area, so I can have fun mixing it up! Tom kept staring at my "hair” and saying he couldn’t believe how natural it looked. Wigs have really come a long way.

My nurse said yesterday that my bloodwork looks really good, especially for at this point in chemo. Not sure what that means for my cancer, but at least my body must be in fighting mode!

Speaking of, I am going to sign off for now to get another round of napping in. Have to get enough energy to make the kids pizza in a bit. I am planning for more of the same for tomorrow, but, hopefully, I can get something on my list accomplished. Will keep you posted!
