Feeling good....

I had a great weekend of feeling good and getting lots done.  Playing with the boys and having friends in for dinner.  Sunday we had dinner at my parents and I came home feeling "icky".  My stomach was off again and I ended up being up all night Sunday with more chemo side effects.  I felt pretty defeated on Monday having felt so good over the last few days.  I resorted to lying around on the couch and resting on Monday.  I figure when I feel good, I'll take advantage and when I don't feel good, I'll rest.  Yesterday I felt really good and got lots accomplished.  I picked up my wig yesterday which I LOVE.  My wig is hair that I've always wanted but could never grow and afford to keep that nice.  While I was there my hairdresser cut my hair into a really short pixie cut.  He said he wanted to give me something "great" seeing as it's my last haircut for awhile.  So I let him do whatever he wanted - after all if I hated it, it's just going to fall out any way.  But I always wanted to go super short and I think it's cute.  Even Kurt liked it who swears off short hair.  I had lunch with my bestie Dawn at Bauer Kitchen.  It was nice to see her and hang out.....even if she missed a meeting that was called while we were out for lunch.  I got Jack's passport renewed yesterday too and was happy to learn that it's good for 5 years now that he's 3. 

Last night was Sam's first swimming lesson and Jack's swimming lessons too.  Kurt and I were shocked that Sam HATED the water.  This kid is a fish in the bath and loves to sit on my parents island and turn the water on and off.  Well swimming may not be his thing.  But it was his first time and so we'll press on.  Jack did awesome swimming across the pool with a pool noodle.  Although he'll tell you that he didn't have fun.....he did!  Amanda and Neil stopped in last night with fresh Irish scones for me and a present for Jack (belated Christmas).  It was great to see them and Amanda looks to cute with her baby bump. 

Overall, feeling really good over the last week.  Gearing up to have my 2nd round of chemo on Friday.  I see the team tomorrow to have blood work and talk new meds.  I'm hopeful that they'll be able to give me something new that will work this time.  But in looking back on the last 14 days.....the first 5 were the worst and it got better from there.  So if I have to have 5 crappy days each cycle for a week of feeling good.....that's not so bad.
