My week of quarantine has not been without other progress. I decided, ever being the optimist, that I would take this week for myself and knock out some long overdue projects I've been wanting to give my attention. Right before my diagnosis, a friend and I had begun the process of starting a t-shirt business … Continue reading Making the most of things
I'll start with the bad news first. If you're a "But I like Good News first" sort of person, scroll to the bottom. "Ha ha ha," my body taunted, "you go ahead and keep making plans, and I'll keep reminding you how absolutely fruitless that will be." Chemo has been postponed a week since my … Continue reading Set Backs & Progress
Thanks to everyone who came out Sunday bringing wigs, food, and fun! Special shout out to D for her amazing wig contribution (13 in total!)!

My hair has never been something that has defined me. One thing I'd like to think defines me is my desire for fun … Continue reading Party Time
Yup. Last day of round 2 is about to begin.
On a scale of 0 to organized I'm puttering at a 7 right now. Getting this week's meds organized. Putting stuff away around the house so I can succumb to week 2 in peace and cleanliness. My MIL and FIL were a whirlwind of activity last week, dusting and cleaning the windows. I'm so grateful … Continue reading Prep Work
This post was created nearly a week ago, but with one thing and another, it didn't get posted. Here it is now. The head is fully shaved at this point. It started falling out a few nights ago. Not like I'm standing still and hair is just jumping off my head, but any time I … Continue reading Hair Today. Gone Tomorrow.
