laughter.

little things strike me as hilarious.  seriously!  my Love often says he's glad it doesn't take much to make me laugh.  anyway, there's some stuff i think is pretty dang funny about all cancer/chemo/surgery business...

-my favorite expression of late is "well, i'll get out of your hair now."  um, yeah.  not a problem these days!
-because the foobs are...hmm...we'll say "large", sometimes i can make armpit fart sounds.  without my hand.  yes, totally juvenile.  i know.  still hilarious.  
-*I* have hot flashes.  this is ridiculous.  i am always cold!!  but now i find myself having to whip off the hat several times a day and fan myself to cool off.  and nighttime?  sheesh.  let's not even go there.
-a "bad hair day" is when one of my 3 "long" hairs gets crazy and sticks out.  it's blond so nobody but me can see it plus i cover the ol' noggin' but it still cracks me up.  i find myself longing for a REAL "bad hair day".  i'll get there soon enough!
-it's a great reason not excuse! to get what i want for supper.  and back when i could taste them, the best (middle) brownie.  i'm supposed to be putting on weight, right? 
-i don't have to shave.  it's fall/winter.  joke's on me!  ha!
-the checkout lady at the grocery store the other day asked if i was "under the weather".  i went in with no makeup on.  it's pretty scary (for other folks) when i go out like that these days.  i felt great just tired as per usual so it struck me as funny.  holy cow what i must look like on a bad day!  yikes!
-that the many numb areas of my body can itch.

i know there's a LOT more but i can't think of them right now.  chemo brain at it's best! 

i'm feeling good these days.  tired, but generally good.  and it kind irks me when someone asks how i'm feeling, i tell them, and they seem to not believe me.  i AM capable of feeling "good" and even "great", you know.  i've had enough of feeling like poo, thankyouverymuch!  so take my word for it when i tell you i'm okay.  mkay? 

and last but not least...a hair update because i know you care!  teehee!
  -brows are pretty skinny.  i draw them on when i want some.
  -lashes are hangin' in there.  maybe a little thinner but still long and awesome.
  -i *think* i see some little hairs on my head.  but it could be wishful hallucinations.  either way, i'm seeing progress!  :o)
