Tired!!

Here we are again. Thank God for Wright Way BBQ and Wings (you're welcome David)! You know that it has been a long day when supper consisting of wings can get a person that excited. As I have said earlier though is that it is the little things that mean so much. Day 6 on chemo and just now really started having any noticeable side effects other than fatigue. Started having some cracks in my mouth today which really sucks. Feels like I have been eating really sharp ice. But I'm not gonna complain because it is still bearable. At least I'm not sick all the time. Thankfully, I am slowly weaning off the steroid that makes me hungry all the time and also very irritable.  It's kinda strange to get up from eating and start immediately thinking about what I'm gonna eat next. I despise taking any medication, but something that changes my mood and my eating habits is really jacking me up. Plus to throw all the Christmas stuff on top of all this going on, it's almost overwhelming. My girls both have a full week with chorus and band concerts. But I have learned that I have to listen to my body first. If I can do it, I'm there, but I no longer make long range plans. It is kinda freeing! Just simply telling people that if I feel like it I'm there and if I don't I'm not. And that actually being sufficient! I still try to do alot and probably do a little too much some times but oh well. Live while I'm living. I know that we are all on this journey and that we all have our own worries and fears and expectations, I've just learned to prioritize what really is important. Whether or not the house is clean, yard is mowed, or worrying about stuff that I have no control over is not even close to being a priority. Spending time with the people I love is what is important. I thank all of you for your prayers and support and pray that it continue. TODAY I AM ALIVE, SO I'M GONNA LIVE!!
