Covered Bridges and Spiked Hair

Feeling more energy today - back to normal again. I really have no right to complain - not one day have I even felt as bad as when you do when you have the cold or a flu. But I can see that I do have more energy on some days than others. It was a dreary day again though - so Krysta and her friend Melissa and I went to Vermont for lunch. We ate at a lovely little restaurant (Ponce Bistro) and stopped to take this photo at the Arlington covered bridge. You can see my chopped off hair here - still working on it. I'm sure it will be easier to wash and dry - but to keep from being frizzy - I think is going to be a challenge. By the time we got back, my hair was going every which way. I think I need to spike it - that may do the trick!

Only once in my life did I have short hair - when I was pregnant w Krysta, my hair was so lifeless I thought it might help - but instead, it just looked awful. At least we have more products now!!! It's too short for my in-styler now though, and that was my only saving grace for non-frizzy hair. Oh well - better than bald I guess! In the scheme of things, I have truly learned that most things we stress over really don't matter much. I can even look at my fake breast, which is taped off to the side, and has a big scar across the front of it, and not be upset. I am anxious for the reveal though on Tues. to see if my doctor is right - that I'll want to tweak the other breast to match. I really don't think so. Don't get me wrong - I liked my girls - they weren't in bad shape for 60 - but the right clothes, and bras and I think I'll do just fine. I have a few months to decide anyway - when they add the nipple and the tattoo!!! My dr. still laughs when I tell him I want my tatooed areola to have a design in it. He told me I might stress his nurses out by telling them they had to do artwork on my breast LOL!!!

This week, I really need to get back to work. They are allowing me to work from home for 4 - 6 weeks, so that won't be bad, and should include my first chemo treatment as well. I do have Monday off though, and will be in Boston Tues. so looks like I will work Thursday.  I must say - although I've been feeling fine, and capable of working - my mind has really been centered on healing, and work seemed like too much of a distraction. First things first. One thing you learn when you get cancer is priorities!
