I'm feeling like this right now. I always feel on top of the world, (or in this photo-atop the Lawrence, Kansas hills) before I go to Ann Arbor for my sessions. I try to live it up on these days. For example, I organized my bills, plants, room,smiled more and tried to catch up with some folks (CrAzzzy, I know! lol) I think I even skipped some stairs with a lil hop today. Of course, I also went to school & read for my classes,etc. Enjoy the sunset while you can <3

Sweating for no reason

Hot Flashes have become part of my daily routine. I don't know if I will ever used to them. It's hard to share the experience because it usually doesn't happen till we are much older! But here is an idea...(exaggerated a bit!)

Yesterday was a good day of chemotherapy. I watched a movie and they finally got my vegetarian lunch just right. Not so shabby,eh? After it is all over, I pretty much drop off the face of the earth in so far as I fall asleep or become really disorientated basically not remembering much. I am grateful to the Sackmanns who let me lay down at their place and Matt who wakes me up every 3 hours to take my post chemo medications. This is what I look like in the car ride on the way back from Ann Arbor (where I receive my treatments), hahaa...


When I wake up at times on the ride home, I see this image of Matt because he forgot his sunglasses and had to use mine. What is so funny about this is, I won't remember this image for days, then it will POP in my head and I laugh!



My first two weeks of law school have been nuts! But in the end I feel very privileged to be achieving my career goals. This is my first time doing chemo + school, so we will see how it goes! Have a good three day weekend everyone!!!

Loving what I have, Share it with me now.




Fall is around the corner. This is my favorite time of the year! I feel like falling in love with everything I see and smell. Toledo Fall is the time I feel like I am in Kansas (home) the most. The air smells wonderful and the trees look beautiful! These are some images I am looking forward to seeing again this year. Chickens, pumpkins, Gary (my little brother), Isabelle (pretty much my little sister) loving their surroundings, and the kids from across the street playing in the leaves. These are the times I am grateful for my health and that I can see and feel everything. Sometimes it may be a struggle to see through the fogginess, but I know it all be there for me when I am ready.
