A local school made national news when it closed on Friday for a Sun Day! A lot of us have felt that we should have sun days as well as snow days (Seattle closes down with just the threat of snow due to our hills and lack of snow plows). The advent of beautiful weather makes people giddy around here!
I am ten treatments down, 18 to go. I'm still feeling good. My radiologist seemed very pleased when I saw him on Friday that I am still working, active and at a good energy level. Tomorrow I see him again, as well as my medical oncologist.
I guess I have to plead ignorance as to how these treatments are supposed to make me feel. They warn you about all sorts of side effects but you never know which ones or when they will hit. I really want to stay involved in 'my' life as much as possible. Going through my course of treatments will take enough time from my regular activities, and I want my transition back into a 'normal' life to be as easy as possible. Plus, I have at least seven appointments a week now, mostly brief, which is enough time to spend focusing on something I don't want to do, but must get through.
We'll see how that all goes.
Went to the last opera of the season last night. Because of the nice weather we were able to drive Maude.
There were two pieces, Sister Angelica & Human Voice. The Human Voice piece was discordant and about a woman talking over the phone to her ex-lover. Spoiler, she kills herself in the end. (Women - no man is worth killing your self! Dump the douche if he doesn't treat you right!) Sister Angelica was quite moving and, spoiler alert, she kills herself in the end also because she finds that the son she had out of wedlock has died. Nothing like some cheery operas to take your mind off of things!
I have some weeds calling my name, off to wage war with the plants I don't want in our yard.
