Everyone is saying how strong I am, That I am a warrior and I don't feel like a warrior or strong. Someone said I was Wonder Woman. I don't feel like Wonder Woman.
I don't feel like I'm doing anything different, I am looking at my blessings more and trying not to let negative people or situations impact me.
The snow was pretty. I had to shovel, but it was ok. I wasn't too excited to drive in it this early in November. It could wait until December or January. It was pretty.
Radiation started. I have some really great techs. They are the ones I see every day. Yes, every day. (well, week day, I don't have to go in on the weekends). I have lotion to put on twice a day. They tape a box to my tummy. That measures how much air I breath in. My choir directors will be proud of me. You inhale with your stomach not your shoulders. See, I was paying attention. I sometimes chatted during choir, but I did pay attention to most of what the director said.
So I will keep on going, I see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have to talk to someone to see what is next. I'm just doing this one step at a time in really cute shoes. Or with all the snow, really cute boots.

The box on my tummy lets me know how much to breath in. I get to wear goggles that look like they come out of Star Trek. On the goggles, I see the line of where I am and where I need to be. I have a bar that I need to be in. I have to hold my breath for 45 seconds. Good for breath control for choir.
I was told radiation would make me tired. I didn't think it would make me chemo tired. And radiation accumulates. I wasn't going to see any side effects until week two or three. By then I will be half way through. Someone asked if radiation was hard. It isn't hard. What is difficult is leaving school to get to my appointment. What is difficult is going every day. The session isn't difficult. I just have to breath. I can do that.
I still have my chemo lite every three weeks. The one day I was there, I saw a huge, I mean big huge spider walk across the floor. It stopped. I wasn't sure if it was sizing me up or not. Then it started walking. I hit the nurse button. She asked what I needed and I told her there was a spider. The nurse sent a different nurse to take care of it. Even she said it was huge. Then I got to think about it, If I get bite by a spider while getting my two chemo drugs, do I get spider powers?
I won a necklace at a craft show I went to. I am blessed to be able to go out and go to the different craft shows. This is from one of those pearl ladies. I have run across their Facebook live opening shells selling shows. It is really pretty. Jovi approved.
I was blessed to be able to make three character pumpkins. Mo Willems is my favorite author and I love his Pigeon and Piggie and Elephant books. They are really cool. I had fun making them and the kids loved seeing them in the library.
