Sleeping: How can one person sleep so much? I am tired of it! I slept for 12 hours last night, got up for about 2 hours then down for 2 hours. Did that all day long. I hate it. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better.
Other side effects: The other side effects, dry mouth, shakes, nausea, etc are not as bad as they were the first go round of chemo. Which is good, but the sleepiness is much worse.
Guess I can't complain about getting my beauty rest!

Summer has arrived: Forcast for today is 97 with a heat index of 108. So glad I can stay inside!

Short Story: Still feeling pretty good. A little tired, but not bad. Took a couple of naps today.
Trey: Went to the Times (a hamburger place) for lunch with Trey and some of his friends for Trey's birthday. They are now over at the house watching the NBA finals.
Bowling: Trey, Stef (Trey's girlfriend) and I also went to watch Tom bowl singles and doubles in State Tournament. Unfortunately, he is not in the money. But he had fun!
EGA: At region seminar, one can purchase tickets for opportunity baskets. The baskets are supplied by various chapters as fundraisers for the chapter. The tickets cost $1 apiece and you place the tickets in buckets next to the baskets. I purchased $20 of tickets and I won a basket! At least my friends tell me I won it - the drawing was Saturday at lunch. Allegedly it is on it's way to me. I know it has bills in various denominations totaling $200 made into origami cranes plus other stitching related items. I can't wait to see what else is in it. I've been to 12 Seminars and never one a basket before. I'm very excited!

Saturday, June 9, 2007 noon
Short story: Been up since 8 am. Still feeling pretty good. Although I'm about ready to take a nap.
What I'm up to: I've unpacked my stuff from the weekend and loaded the dishwasher. Tom and Trey are very good at rinsing the dishes, but they haven't quite mastered the art of going to the right (where the dishwasher is). But at least the dishes are rinsed! Guess I shouldn't complain.
I've finished editing the pictures from my parent's 50th anniversary party. Be on the look out for an email from me or my mom. If you don't get an email and want to see the pictures, send me a request and I'll get it right out to you!
Bowling: Tom is bowling in State Tournament this weekend. Wish him luck!
Trey's birthday: Trey will be 19 tomorrow, June 10, 2007. I find it hard to believe that I am the parent of a 19 year old. Why is it that when you see your friend's children they seem so old, but your children don't seem to get older?

Short Story: Well, my counts were good on Tuesday, so I had my LAST treatment today! Tom came and picked me up in Houston. He arrived around 10:30 Thursday night and we left around 8:30 Friday morning. We arrived at the doctor's office at 1:30, 15 minutes early.
EGA: I had a wonderful time at my seminar. We spent our time shopping, eating and stitching. What better time could be had than that???
Treatment plan: Had my last treatment today. Yeah!! I'm very happy about that. Getting a bit tired, but that is to be expected. I am planning on going to Oregon to visit my friend Audrey in July then on to a company meeting in Denver the rest of the week. My radiation should start when I return the week of 7/16. That will last for 6 1/2 weeks. I'm hoping to be able to squeeze in getting my port out before radiation starts.
Bathroom: Everyone put your hands together now! The tile is DONE!! I am so excited to have that phase completed, I can't begin to tell you. Phase "next" should start next week. Not sure what that phase is, but I'm sure I'll hear what it is next week.

Short Story: Still feeling like the "new normal". I will be heading to Houston tomorrow for the EGA (Embroiderers' Guild of America) Region Seminar. Therefore, I'll be off line until Friday or Sunday.
I stop by the doctor's office on my way out on Tuesday for blood work. If my counts are low, my Friday treatment will be postponed, so I'll stay in Houston for the rest of the Seminar and return Saturday night. If my counts are OK, I'll be back for my final treatment on Friday.
Bathroom: FINALLY got the shelf for the bathroom. The tile guy will be here on Thursday and Friday, so hopefully the shower will be done by the time I get home!

Short Story: Still feeling good. Been sleeping alot however. Slept about 12 hours last night and took a 2 hour nap today.
Alaska: Trey's girlfriend, Stefanie, got back from Alaska today. Her family went on the cruise/tour that we were supposed to go on. We postponed until next year while they decided to go. We should be able to find out all of the do's and don'ts from them.
If anyone would like to go with us next year, let me know!
Alpha Phis: Went to dinner last night with my seven of my sorority sisters and two guests. We had a lot of fun. After dinner, we went to Erin's son Timmy's house. He is looking to start a business selling alcoholic ice cream. He had several flavors for us to taste test. Each scoop has the same amount of alcohol as a martini. I'm not sure I'm in the target market for this product. I'm thinking I'd rather drink my alcohol and eat my ice cream, although some of the flavors were quite tasty.
Bathroom: We are still waiting on the shelf to be ready. Allegedly it will be ready tomorrow. Since I'll be gone next week, the tile man is coming on Thursday and Friday when Trey is home. Hopefully, the tile will be finished by the time I get home!
