My Apologies

I have to apologize to everyone for not having posted in awhile.  Brian and I bought a bought 2 weeks ago and we've been busy getting it running and enjoying it out on the water!!

So the last chemo went about as well as the previous 2 have gone.  I of course came home and slept the rest of Friday away.  Saturday I managed to get up and go to Jazzercise on Saturday morning.  Of course I had to go home and take a nap!! :)

Sunday I was asked to speak at a fundraising event for Pelotonia.  Of course I wasn't feeling great that day and ended up having to take my rescue meds, but I thankfully made it through the 2 hour event without falling asleep on my feet.  I was incredibly nervous and stumbled through me speech a little bit, but many came up afterwards and thanked me for speaking.

Monday ended up being a really tough day.  I was very exhausted and started to feel frustrated that I wasn't up to doing anything more than laying in bed.  So on top of feeling crappy I ended up just feeling bad in general.  Those that know me, know that I'm not an idle person, I'm always running around, usually doing 2 things at once.  So faced with dishes that needed done, laundry that needed done, a classroom that needed I needed to start getting ready for the return to school, and other things I felt I needed to do and just didn't have the energy for was really tough mentally.  Thanks to a trip to Jazzercise, and a good crying phone call to Kat I managed to get through it!

I officially went back to work yesterday.  I've already worked 20 of my 37.5 hours this week and it's only Tuesday.  All in all I feel ready for the kids to walk in the door tomorrow morning.  I will work tomorrow and Thursday and will take Friday off to go to chemo.  Everyone was surprised that I went back to work this week.  But this is a good week, it's next week I'm worried about.  It has taken me until Tuesday or Wednesday following a chemo treatment before I'm feeling back to normal with normal energy.  The plan is to be back to work Monday am.  I just hope that I can pull it off and not totally exhaust myself.
