Slow and steady...

I will finish my last bit of school work tonight! It has been looming all of these months, but I have been distracted. It is also hard to finish school work when you have a hard time just reading a teenagers book. I am sure I did well enough to get a good grade in my class and put last quarter officially behind me and still be able to come back to school in the fall. It is just one more step closer to this whole nightmare being over.

I also got my elliptical walker today. It is freaking awesome! I got a NordicTrack E7.1. It was on sale and interest free if we paid it off in a year. More expensive than a used one, but we can make payments so it has less upfront impact on our finances. The only thing that sucks is that it won’t be delivered until the 22^nd. That is the day after my next chemo! I was so hoping to hop on and get working. Oh well, all things in time. I will have it for the next few months of crappy cold weather so I can build up my strength, endurance, and cardio even if mother nature has decided she hates me! Lol…

Don't I look cute on my elliptical! LOL! I wish, and if my hair grew back like that I would be sad! I would miss my locks!

It has been nice to get around without my crutches. I have noticed that some of my muscles are still sore. They are muscles I have never noticed before, so hopefully they will be ok the more I walk.

I miss my mommy! She left for Arizona on Sunday. Although it is nice to have some independence again, there are just times in a girl’s life when she needs her mama. This is that time for me. I am glad she went and has been able to reconnect with her life a little, oh yeah and she got to spend time in the warm sun! Did I mention I am also jealous? She spent the day doing wedding plans with my sister. I am so excited for her! Jenn decided to get married in St. Lucia next March, so guess where I will be for spring break next year!!!! I do hate missing out on the fun wedding stuff. I wish I was there with them.

Things are going well but slow for me. It is like someone pressed the super-slow play on my VCR of life, but it is all good. Things have progressed better than I could have imagined. I have my all important PET scan on Tuesday and would appreciate prayers, good vibes, and whatever else you all can put out into the ether for me. This scan determines how many chemos I will have, hopefully only 2 more including the chemo coming up next Wednesday.  

I would just like to make a last minute addition to this blog...I am watching the Ellen Show. They are playing a game in which people have to put a big rubberband around their face and try to catch a marshmellow. It is so silly, and I am not sure why people put themselves up for that!

This just doesn't do how silly some of them look...
