I tasted my first sparkling water today. I like it. Kind of like seltzer or club soda. Fizzy without any taste but hydrating...lol..
Kind of a mixed week after chemo. The dexamethasone made me sooo irritable that I cried...because I couldn't understand why I was so jumpy and on edge. I finally looked in the mirror at one point and saw how red my face was from the med. After seeing that I calmed down. There was a reason for me acting the way I was. Which was not pleasant for Honey to endure, watch. Thankfully it was only a 'few' hours worth and the evening was quieter. And happier.
I love reading about the lives of you all in here. I am comforted at times. At times I am scared by your stories and for you. At times I am so very happy by your good news and family happiness. And of course, very saddened sometimes. But mostly I see the strength of everyone in these trials of cancer. Mostly we have few choices but mostly I see everyone not willing to lose a fight so dear.
So I try to take each day as it presents itself and try to do things that make me smile. I still am making tube socks and will continue to make them and donate the proceeds to research. Research for the cures is the only way out of this 'place' in my mind. And for sheer fun I have been making bread...lol. In my bread machine, of course, not kneading and folding and raising the dough like in days of old...lol. Althought there IS something to be said for all that kneading-meditation! And I continue to bead bracelets. Lots of noisy trinkets on my arm and soon to be on the arms of family for the coming holidays...lol.
The holidays. A whole other story, eh?
