Tuesday's news

Today’s entry is short—there’s not much going on--I'm just waiting. You’d think I’d be getting pretty good at it by now! I’m feeling pretty good, my spirits are good, and I’m clinging to what I know to be true. There’s no reason to play “what if”, or let my imagination run wild; that won’t help me. I’m working, eating, sleeping, and trying to keep a normal schedule because that will help me.

I went to work wig-less for the first time on Monday. My co-workers seemed to like the new look--but it sure is different from my blonde wig! I’ve noticed that some people who would give me a second look when I was blonde barely even acknowledge me now. Am I offended? Nah. Being blonde was fun while it lasted, but this new hair is so much more striking. And if I change my mind, Clairol can be here in just a few minutes!

My next doctor appointment is Thursday, February 8, at 3 p.m. I have a friend going with me, just in case. It seems that so much hinges on what the doctor says, and I have lots to do. Some of it is quite timely, like getting the taxes done, and other things can wait a while, like getting the closet cleaned. I need to get as much done as I can before any treatments begin, because I know how I’ll feel then. I’ll try not to whine much, but I’m making no promises!

Thanks for being here. Knowing that people care is what is keeping me sane.  ¶ 6:21 PM
