Whee! And I am cleared to get out of here, go put on comfortable clothes, and head to Filene's.
Today was kind of a waste, honestly. I've danced this dance so many times I basically spent the day reading
Smoke and Mirrors
under the table.
Cindy, R doesn't join me for 6 weeks, then he goes away for another 3 to finish his Master's program.
Thank goodness for Skype, though.
Six weeks? Then three more? Oof, so you're parenting single handedly for the foreseeable future. That makes all the other changes seem bigger.
Raq, I hope you're feeling better soon, and that the time that R is away goes by quickly. Take care.
Then there was the chick who colored her hair blonde and they changed it to brown and she was so freaked out. She almost didnt' do the show, in the end they sent her back to Nick to go back blonde.
Her reveal was weird because I dont' think she got really into it and just put on whatever she thought they'd like so it was scattered. She didn't dress horribly just in khakis and white t shirts.
Oh, I remember that one and she looked so much better brunette -- her skin and eyes just looked great. That was really too bad.
She is not the same person she was pre-chemo. Her memory is shot and she is struggling to keep up - and this is before this new round of chemo.
Ah, the wonders of chemo brain. I think my short-term memory has gotten better, but I still have a severe case of going for a word and not finding it and a lot of trouble focusing. They've recently had some trials of using ADD meds for it. I've been on Adderal for about a month and it seems to really help.
Ivy is evil. I have a lot of it and it's nearly impossible to kill. I think I'd have to make it a full-time job.
Body Glide doesn't have any fragrance to speak of, and I'm not allergic to it, which means it's pretty damn allergen free. I sometimes even put some on my feet to help ward off blisters.
Here's a video from somebody who is clicker training their camel.
Ah, the wonders of chemo brain.
Ginger, you are much younger and more of a fighter than L.
Just found out she won't be in until later this week. Something in her new meds requires that she stay out of the sun for 5 days post-treatment.
How old is L?
A number of my meds required me to stay out of the sun. I just wore an hat and tried to park close to where I was going. They don't turn you into a vampire.
