I haven't posted thanks to my lessened amount of visits. I have more small appointments for lab check ups and such but nothing compared to the clinic trips to NW. I had a NW appointment this past Thursday for some b!tch juice. It was not the smoothest of appointments in our history. They all can't go as easily as I was lucky enough to have in the past, but oi vey this one was a doozy. Let's just say lots of waiting and needle pokes. But it's done and over with. Next one will be smoother. My dad brightened my mom and I's day with having dinner ready for us when we got home. This is not a common Lord household (sorry Daddy-o for ratting you out).
I've had a lot of great times since my last post. I went to my first concert after diagnosis. I had missed a few concerts that were planned and fell during this sh!tshow. It was tough to miss and to not plan for new ones, but I couldn't skip Avenged Sevenfold! It turns out that the band supports this Web site: http://www.fuckcancerfoundation.org/ A bit more brash that my style, but you can't deny the message. We learned this from another concert goer that was sporting one of the shirts. The weekend as a whole was great. That same weekend, Ross had a work party and it was a lot of fun. Plus we went to our favorite diner - Denny's (not the chain but the place that defines the overblown style of the Dells).
Another weekend was a wonderful girls weekend getaway with a group of my childhood friends. We all had a great time. It was five of us in Galena. Lots and lots of laughs, chatting, relaxing and as one of us said "rekindling old friendship flames."
Otherwise I've just been doing my part time work, my daily goals around the house and cuddling my pupper. I like to not have anything to note on this blog ;0)
The below pictures are of me and Dana, my mom's hair stylist and mine too during high school. The salon she works at had a Cut-a-thon for the American Cancer Society so I stopped in to say thank you. She has done numerous (any is too many) buzz cuts for women with treatments that cause the hair to jump ship. As you will see, she went the full nine yards and raised extra money by promising to buzz her hair if she reached a certain level of donations. She kicked some @ss (a lot of swearing in this post, odd) and raised almost double her goal. People are amazing.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!
