Today (Saturday) I woke up feeling much better. Still some side-effects, but not the comatose-state fatigue. Now I think my life will be fine and isn't it nice to live in my house with my cute little kids and my sweet husband?
It is as though I have no short-term memory. What I feel today generalizes into the rest of my life. I *know* what is coming - another round 8 days from now, and another 3-4 days in bed - but I don't feel it.
Now to make the want-to-do list for the next week: Try out pirate costumes on all the boys (everyone has finally agreed to Halloween pirateness, which is centered on possession of a sword). Enjoy another week of gorgeous fall weather. Declutter my house. Finish reading The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. Carve a pumpkin. The next time I come around, the weather might be too cold for me to hang around outside. I'd head south if my oncologist would come with me!

Susan, I think surely your penchant for writing and blogging has been therapy for you these past couple of years! How you maintain any clarity of thought astounds me. But what is truly amazing is that your words ooze life to so many others who are also having it sapped out of them. Good luck on your list for the week! I'm so happy for halloween consensus! Aidan is going to be a slice of pizza. :)
I can't wait to see the pirates. Mine are all Wizard of Oz, should be fun times!
