T.G.I.F

Everything is going as planned. The new treatment went well besides the fact that we left for the city a 7 am and didn't get home until 7:30 pm. Thank God for Aunt Mary who once again pulled through and was able to pick up the kids and watch them until we got home.
I saw the doctor on Monday and she says everything is going as anticipated. She even said that she thought we would get even more positive results from this new medicine. This new stuff is a much longer treatment. I was in the chair for 4 hours which I must say, I slept through. I no longer have any of the nausea, but get VERY tired from it. I didn't think that it was possible for that to happen.
Deb was a real trooper once again and took me back on Tuesday for my shot. As much as I hate having to go back the second day, I really enjoy spending the time with her without having any interuptions! Thanks Deb.

I spoke with the surgeon today and my surgery has been set for March 13th.. WOW!!! I know that I have a long road still to travel but I can't wait for the Chemo to be over and for some hair to start growing back..After the surgery I will need 4 to 5 weeks of radiation. That shouldn't be to bad and I will have that done out of Monmouth Medical with the Sloan Doctors as traveling to the city every day for that would just be to much...

Anyway, TGIF to all of you. I can't tell you how much I used to look forward to the weekends. I still do, as we can all be home together. However, I will say something that I never thought I would say...... I look forward to getting back to work!

Enjoy the weekend.... BRING ON THE SNOW!!

Impossible to Please
A group of girlfriends is on vacation when they see a 5-story hotel with a sign that reads: "For Women Only." Since they are without their boyfriends and husbands, they decide to go in.

The bouncer, a very attractive guy, explains to them how it works. "We have 5 floors. Go up floor by floor, and once you find what you are looking for, you can stay there. It's easy to decide since each floor has a sign telling you what's inside."

So they start going up and on the first floor the sign reads: "All the men on this floor are short and plain." The friends laugh and without hesitation move on to the next floor.

The sign on the second floor reads: "All the men here are short and handsome." Still, this isn't good enough, so the friends continue on up.

They reach the third floor and the sign reads: "All the men here are tall and plain."

They still want to do better, and so, knowing there are still two floors left, they continued on up.

On the fourth floor, the sign is perfect: "All the men here are tall and handsome." The women get all excited and are going in when they realize that there is still one floor left. Wondering what they are missing, they head on up to the fifth floor.

There they find a sign that reads: "There are no men here. This floor was built only to prove that there is no way to please a woman."

Hey Moores, It was good to see you guys all the other day. I am back at school and all I can say is that Senioritis hit me like a train on the first day of classes(but don't tell mom and dad). We did get a few inches of snow the other day, but as excited as I was, I also remembered that it sucks for running. By the way I never did get to write my speech for the XC banquet, but I have done this before in other presentations for school, and am pretty good now at giving speeches without any rehersal. in the end I got some laughs and some compliments afterward. The banquet was a great time actually and I can finally see the end of the tunnel especially with the job offer I got from the Army Corps of Engineers. Not sure if I'll be happy or sad to finish school but I know I'll enjoy the last few months immensely. Tell everyone I said hi.

Hi Kay,
I am so happy to hear you are doing well. The Holidays went bye so fast. I am glad you enjoyed them with your family. My family was here from Texas and it was great having them around. Before you know it will be March. I can not stand the cold weather. Stay positive and I miss you!
