Human Again

Okay...I've gotten some slack for taking so long to write! I apologize! Last week was a busy one for me. I worked 32 hours M-W. These days were okay...Its still hard for me to be 100% (or at least 70%) at the beginning of the week, as I'm still very tired and nauseous. Last week, it became a little pattern that I would throw up at the end of each day. I'm not typically nauseous throughout the day...something just will trigger it (ex. brushing my teeth) that will set me off. Anyway....I made it through sucessfully...then laid in bed and read all day on Thursday! It was an okay day...however I became very cranky in the afternoon. As I was analyzing this...I realized my crankiness started when I saw a commercial for Pirates of the Carribean 3 coming to video. This is the movie that I saw on the night that I was diagnosed...and it must of triggered some pent up anger that wasn't released back in May...because I was a crank!

Anyway, I went to bed early and woke up on Friday in a fabulous mood! This is because I knew that had a weekend of fun and being normal ahead of me! I worked an 8 hour shift....(8 hour shifts fly by!) Then I came home and a massage therapist came to my house to give me a massage!!! At first I was a little apprehensive for her to come to my house...however...it was great not having to bundle up and go out in the cold after! Plus I could just get in my pjs and cuddle up for the night.

Then Saturday...my friend, Deanna, and I took at trip to Boston for the night! This was a real special treat for me, as I'm always scheduled to work on my good weekends. When I realized that I had a 'feel good' weekend off...I immediately started scheming a way to get out of town! So, we arrived in Boston Sat. afternoon and caught up with some friends, went out to a delicious dinner, then hit the town for a little while. It was really nice to feel like a 'normal' 29 year old again, and not spend a Sat. night in bed! We then had breakfast with my brother and his girlfriend this morning, and headed home. It was quick....but refreshing! Here are some pics from the 'crazy' night out....

Also....to top all of that off...I arrived home to a clean bed with new flannel sheets...ahhhh! (I'm such a sucker for comfort!)

Anyway...I work a 12 hour day tomorrow...then Tuesday I'm back to chemo...(this is the first time I've been able to mention it without feeling like throwing up or crying...so I guess that means I'm ready again....ugh)

I'll be better at writing this week...and updating you about whats going on medically...

And...Vermonters...think snow!!! (We're supposed to get 10-18 inches tonight!) Gosh...I miss snow days....
