A Deadline For Christmas Shopping?

Yesterday was such a great day. I spent the day working on and almost finishing my Christmas shopping. I think I have a few more things to get, but it’s really nice having a deadline to finish. I’m aware Christmas comes on December 25 every year and therefore is a deadline but this year is different. Thank you chemo.

Time Limits Are Giving Me Peace

Everything needs to be done by Monday afternoon so I can leave peacefully on Tuesday. It’s really been great. Imagine if I wasn’t going to Houston on Tuesday? I could sit back, relax, and truly enjoy the meaning of Christmas. It’s a great feeling to know that the last few days before Christmas will not be hectic and crazy. I will set deadlines in the future to finish by the 20th every year.

Happy Birthday To Me

I will be in Houston for my birthday and I’m not sad about it. I will have a scan and blood work that day. I love my birthday and actually look forward to having many more. I am sure my dear friend Barbara will make it a special day. Truly, if we lay in bed and giggle it will be a great day.

The Normalcy Of Cooking

I’m working with a very sweet Nutritionist, who is quickly becoming a friend via email. She has sent some delicious, healthy recipes. Last night we had lamb and lentils over brown rice. It was so good. I love to cook as some of you know. I am so grateful for the meals that are delivered when I can’t cook but feel back to normal when I can start cooking again. It might be one of my favorite things to do and I love trying new recipes.

Tired Of Hearing About The Port?

I also called the surgeon here and yes, he can do the port. Another reason for the happy day. Not sure what a “port” is? Click here to learn more. Things are moving forward. The research nurse called their office and the ball is rolling. I have changed my mind as to when I want to have it done. My plan is to shoot for Jan 9th or 10th, providing I can fly on the 11th. I need to check and see when and if I can jump out of a plane too. Priorities.

This morning I am off to Pilates. I really like the class but need to figure out how I can run too. This is when I feel like next week is approaching and I need to fit in all of the exercise so I can take a week off.

Time to start the day!
