The weekend

Eddy worked on our back deck this week....we now have finish on the surface! I can't wait to put the chairs, table and loungers back out. Wish I could put potted plants out but that is a no, no.

I did water aerobics on Saturday and Sunday....I just love it. Completely addicted to the pool and I even dream about swimming. An added benefit to swimming, I am getting my vitamin D and exercise all at the same time.

On Friday we had dinner with Lionel, Jen and Amara. We hadn't seen much of the Hall family since Lionel was busy studying for his contractors exam over the last several weeks. Amara is fun, fun, fun! While Jen was putting together dinner, Amara and I scooped dog poop (her idea, not mine), checked out the snails (we didn't touch them) and ran around on the stone path in the yard ("lets run").

My mom and Ron are due to stop overnight before heading home to Oregon tomorrow. It is a short stay since they have been away for almost two months and Ron's back is bothering him. It is too bad they aren't staying longer since I wanted to show them the new shop.

I feel stronger and more powerful every day! Watch out world, 'cause here I am come!

Best I've Ever Felt

I can say without a doubt that this is the best physically I have felt in years! With cancer growing in my body for around nine years it is no wonder I used to wake up feeling under the weather a great deal of the time but now I feel great everyday.....that is how I know the cancer is gone!

Thought it was time to post a recent photo or two so everyone can see how much hair I am sporting now. My hair is not growing as fast as I would like but at least it is coming back in....just a little more bang would be nice. As you can see I seem to be getting more freckles due to swimming and yes, I am wearing sunscreen in the pool.

On top of swimming twice a week, I am working on getting my vitamin D each day (15 minutes with no sunscreen...ok per the dermatologist), going for acupuncture once a week (for the hot flashes) and taking vitamins on top of eating a healthy diet. I feel sooooooo good!!!!

That is all for today.

Belly Dancing

Well, I tried belly dancing last night and spent a lot of time laughing at myself! We did a move were you are supposed to sweep your hair around....funny. My chemo-fro doesn't even move when I have my head upside down.....I had to laugh. I think I might find a CD and try belly dancing at home in privacy.

Going to dinner with my sister and her friend then to the movies to see Sunshine Cleaning. Should be a fun evening for the three of us.

Time to do payroll reports.
