Happy Valentines to all my friends and family who are checking up on me....I love you all and can't imagine how I could have survived so far without all your love and support and service.
So #4 is working its chemical magic as I write. I was able to get the girls off to school...just a bit late as it seems to take herculean effort to drag myself out of bed the day after chemo and Rachel and Andria take full advantage of the fact that I'm not moving very fast! It probably doesn't help that the steroids are telling me to stay awake and my internal clock is telling me to sleep. So I go to sleep and then wake up 4 or 5 times during the night with crazy dreams or wondering what time it is. Somehow last night I set my alarm and then woke up and realized that I had also changed the time on the clock (not sure if I did that in a dream state or what, but at 4:35 am my clock said 9:15 which I was pretty sure was impossible am or pm!) ...I'm hoping it really is the chemo and not signs of psychotic deterioration!
The four week break seemed to work magic for my white blood cell count and it is back into the normal range which made us all smile....so now they are thinking that they will let me do chemo at 3 1/2 weeks instead of 4...but when I came home and looked at the calendar that means I do chemo on a day the kids are home from school...maybe I'll just shoot for 4 weeks and call it good. So many things to schedule...so little time! But only 2 more chemo sessions to go, YIPEE!
My big activities for the day were taking anti-nausea pills, folding two loads of laundry, taking a nap and fixing tacos for dinner--whew! I think I better go catch a few more winks of sleep and hopefully tonight I won't be messing with the clock in my dreams. I have issues with time...can't I at least escape them while I'm sleeping?

Happy (late) Valentines! :) You're getting so close! Oh my goodness. Funny stories for you. So, I go to Berkeley with my mom to visit Nanny and my friend Kate ends up on the same flight. We plan to play for a day in San Francisco. Her brother takes us and his wife is a Johnson (Ken's cousin Vic). THEN at church I saw Jed and Marie (who say hi) AND another Johnson couple. I've decided you guys are everywhere. And I love you ALL. :D
