The past couple days have been pretty rough, as usual right after a treatment, but today (Sunday) is much better. We've been outside enjoying the sunshine and 70° weather. I put on a pair of shorts, and while I'm pretty happy with having lost 30 lbs., it's a little shocking when I can put them on without unbuttoning, then sinching them up tight with a belt. I see a shopping trip in my future. Another shocking thing is how much hair comes out each day while I'm doing my hair. Luckily I had a lot to begin with and it's not too noticeable to others; and of course I'm thrilled I was able to keep it at all. As I mentioned before, my chemo cocktail for colo-rectal cancer is different from other cancers where you lose it all.
This coming week is my good week, and I've got the last of my newsletters to get to the printer, then all the bookkeeping and mailing involved - so I should have energy enough for all that. Andi heads back to college today after Spring Break; and Tori has just started hers. We all baked cookies together today. Life is good.

Sounds like you are still doing a great job of balancing all that is on your plate (just like you said earlier - God will never give you more than you can handle in a day!) Loved your last sentence: life is good :). Michele
