When I awoke this day, there was energy abounding in me. I took Michael to school that morning. Upon arriving home, I felt like the old Betsy again. I started straightening up the house, putting away my overnight bag, putting newspapers away, going through the mail, putting things in recycling, putting dishes in the dishwasher, folding throws that go over the chairs and couches. I could bend over without hurting. I ended up being 1/2 hour late for work, but the house looked great. I even felt like putting earrings on for work!
Lauren was coming down from Hoboken on her way to visit friends in VA for the weekend. They were leaving their cars here. I called her and chatted in my silent wispy voice how excited I was to have this energy again. She said, "OK Mom, I'm glad you're feeling better, but its just a house." I was feeling good to want to get things done.
After a very productive day at work, I came home to a quiet, neat house which is relaxing for me. Paul and I went out to Saladworks for dinner and then Sam's Club to get some things for the week ahead for my long week of chemo.
Tomorrow will be wash day. And wig day. My daughter Lisa and I are going to visit some stores to check out the prospects.
Hope everyone has a good weekend. Thanks so much again for the cards, the many prayers and kind words of encouragement to see me through this time of recovery.
