Keeping myself busy, preparing for Tx and maybe over doing it a bit

Hello people, Yesterday was chemo and today I tried to keep myself busy. It was the usual running laundry, doing dishes (which I am washing by hand in a bathroom sink because of our kitchen being remodeled) I also ran some errands in town with my daughter and had a wonderful salmon with black beans and rice at Chili's with her. I picked up some space backs for hanging clothes. I intend to smoosh my hanging clothes to make them more manageable for packing in the van. I am heading back to Texas from Colorado. I've been doing a lot of research on how to make a cross state move by car easier to pack. Space bags keep coming up. I'll try them and let you know how that works. Now I am feeling very tired. It could be because I have two dachsunds sleeping on me. Their sleepiness could be rubbing off on me. Or perhaps I have overdone it for a post chemo day. The thing is...you have to live. You just can't stop. I won't regret keeping myself busy, doing things, taking risks. I'm actually really excited by life right now. How are YOU doing? Leslie

Out with the old and in with the new.

Hello My friends!
2016 has been a wild ride.  We have been through a crazy political circus, terrorism, celebrity deaths, advances in cancer research and finally a more importantly, there has been a new awareness that SGK is more  of a fund raising slush fund than a arm to funding  research.

hugs to you all,
Leslie

Transitioning into Spring with terminal cancer

Hello Friends!
Spring is in the air....supposedly!  Well today is the first official calendar day of spring.  I have seen Some signs of it.  Outside there are green shoots of various bulb plants sprouting from the earth, and I have spotted a robin or two.  Which I hear tell, means spring is just around the corner.  Another sign of spring for me at least, is the sudden desire to deep clean, shed things unused and reevaluate life.  I have found myself becoming more organized.  Especially in the fridge and the pantry.  But there are more personal and deeper spring transitions occurring in my life.  We added Gracie recently which has shifted the balance of things somewhat.  Adding a whole new dimension, and some extra work to our family.  I have also found myself weeding out time suckers.  I am trying to be a bit more conscious in how I am living.  Today I shed about 50 sites I had email subscriptions to.  This will save me time with my email.  Also I got rid of a bunch of youtube subscri…
