Happy Wednesday... i have felt great the last couple of days and am now allowing for the fact that most likely i will be hitting the TV room again in the not so distant future. Chemo was Tuesday. I met a new friend so that was cool. She is just starting her process which is very similar to mine so we got to chat a lot. That whole "we" part of the world.
Some bald facts that i learned during the recent fantastic weather.
being bald means that hair doesn't whip in your face when the windows are down.
being bald means the sweat just drips out of your head.
being bald means SPF 95 for virgin skin
SPF 95 is like a slimely dirt magnet that catches everything (kinda' like Pig Pen from Charlie Brown)
being bald (stubble free bald) means that scarves tend to shift and get all goofy - no velcro action - so naked bald is easier
being bald allows for the opportunity of applying henna smiley face tattoos on a big, visible surface
i think that's all i have so far for my bald stuff.
That beautiful white flowering tree that is out RIGHT now is a dogwood. i actually looked it up on line to make sure. was guessing. they don't stay white for long.
this week is National Crime Victim's Rights Week.
Swine flu... ugh! And maybe in Albany and Schenectady county.. are you kidding me??? and those masks......
my tulips popped in my flower garden.
facebook is semi-fun for me.
work has been fun and i miss doing it full time. i just want things to be back to "normal". i can't wait to have all my energy back, full time... not part time. i guess it will happen when it happens. i can't rush it. amen...
got a great shirt sent to me today... it says "Hey Cancer..You picked the wrong broad!" cool right??? and a mug that says "Liv'n out Loud" Gotta love that. so fun! thanks Kim.
i hope everyone has some great things going on and that they are enjoying each day...everyday...
peace and happiness

And now in 2010 the van is packed, the floors are cleaned, the cell phone is programmed and most things are ready to go. Flight leaves tomorrow (Saturday) night at 7:30pm. I will arrive in Nairobi on Tuesday morning. I plan on spending Sunday in London doing some wandering around Picadilly Circus or Trefalgur Square. The boxes are labelled whe ith smiley faces. I can't wait to take pictures of the little ones with long blonde or brunette wigs on. And the pink boas. And the extra fun scarves. And the soccer balls for the boys. It will all work out just great.
Whatever it is, it is better than spending days on end doing chemo and hanging out watching Law and Order. Life is grand, my friends... just perfect!
