Yesterday was the first day since my first chemo where I actually felt good. I did not wake up feeling like I was in a fog (even though the boys were up at 5am) and I felt like I had a good night's sleep. I got a lot accomplished with the boys in the morning before Kurt took them to an indoor playground. While they were gone I went outside to take down all the outdoor Christmas stuff, enjoying the fresh air and a good chat with my neighbour. I napped when the kids did and woke up feeling like I wanted to have friends in for dinner. So I called on some friends to come for a playdate and dinner and was excited that I was having a normal day and soon to be a normal evening.
Lorri, Scott and Emma arrived and we ate pizza, wings and I even had a glass of wine. Why the heck not.....it felt (and tasted) good. The kids were quick to strip down to their undies after dinner and went headed to the basement for a "dance party" complete with glow sticks!!! Sam can really rock out. Emma had some great moves and Jack did his soon to be world famous "flamingo". Emma decided that she was going to have a bath at our house so Lorri and I took the three clowns up to the tub and scrubbed them clean. With Emma sporting a pair of Jack's jammies they headed home and our boys headed to bed.
It felt great to feel great. On the days I feel good I'm going to make the most of them and on the days I feel tired.....I'll rest. I have a busy week ahead of appointments and things before my next chemo on Friday. I'll let you know how it goes on Tuesday when I get my wig - or my "new hair" as Jack says.
