Good Day

We had our front yard cleared of weeds, ivy and jasmine today! Yard is down to dirt except for the front lawn, which is getting torn up for new sod. The back got attacked by the weed eater and looks much better. This evening I was able to see a fawn bouncing around in the field behind our house since there were no more weeds blocking my view. Cute as a button!

My sister, Suzanne, took me shopping in San Jose today at Valley Fair. It was nice to get away for the day, find a couple of things and have lunch. I wish it could have been a longer day but I still get tired in the afternoons and I just wasn't super interested in anything. For those of you that know about DSW (the shoe store), I couldn't find anything I wanted, which is saying a lot since there are sooooo many shoes to choose from in there. It was obviously not my shopping day.

Tomorrow is new hair cut day! I am very excited and wished I had done it a few weeks ago when I had my hair colored. Cat is out of the bag, I color my hair! I started getting grays around thirtysomething, so I've been coloring since then. Now my eyebrows, lashes, etc are getting gray. In fact, I found a couple of gray arm hairs the other day!

We are also wig shopping tomorrow. Not sure how I feel about the wig thing, mixed emotions. I feel too young for a wig and like everyone will know I have it on. We'll see how the morning goes and if I actually get one. By the way, Eddy is going for the wig shopping trip. Could you ask for a better best friend in life?

I talked to three cancer survivors today. Judy B who I met on the Susan G Komen message boards, Beverly who I met at the hairdresser getting her wig trimmed a few weeks ago (doing chemo right now) and the clerk I met at Nordstrom today who is a stage IV survivor (five years). It means so much for me to talk with women who are going through the same or have gone through the same experiences I am. It is hard to understand if you have not been diagnosed with cancer, you might have an idea but you really don't feel the full impact of what it means to have cancer and all that goes with it. I will never be the same person that I was before diagnosis and I know I will continue to change through this life altering journey I am on. It will be interesting to see who I am on the other side.

Please keep up the positive thoughts for me....I need them for the upcoming days.
