OK, OK, I need to learn patience
Because after four chemo infusions I should KNOW that I will begin to feel better around mid-day on day 5, which happened again like clockwork. Sooo, this afternoon I got out (which was delightful even in the rotten weather) and ran a couple of errands. Trying hard to put a positive spin on it, now stay with me here . . . I get to have that wow-I-feel-so-much-better-now feeling much more often than most people.
We'll see what Taxol does to me - that's the name of the drug they'll be infusing into my system beginning on the 13th of January and every 2 weeks for a total of eight weeks, four infusions. I heard that it can cause joint pain which should be treatable with ibuprofen, but then someone I met was on vicodin for it. oy.
Trying to fill out financial aid forms for the boys' schools is tricky - how can I possibly know how much I will be able to earn this coming year, if anything? It will all work itself out, but the forms fill me with dread.
I'm going to get the chance to do some writing soon, for real for Penny in Mill Valley. Puffed chest, big smile.
Pray for sun.

Hi Judith,
I'm sorry I didn't get to see you over Hanukkah. I got the news from Marinell. After Ari went to schul and heard your name for Misha Berak, I asked her about it.
We are both tremendously sorry to hear of your ordeal. This is my first visit to the site and it is heartening.
I'm cleaning out my scarf drawer and thinking of you. How about a brown-hued paisely wool challis, oblong?
It might be perfect for the cold, but could prove itchy.
Your blog is impressive and forgive me I'm not sure if I should be candid or if it is percieved as trivial. The spring green color of your site is refreshing. Your photo is lovely too.
Soon after I heard the news I put on the earrings you gave me for my 44th birthday. (I'm now 51.) I don't know how long I'll wear them but they remind me of you. When will I see you?
Love,
Ruth
