Guess who's back - back again?

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

And at the moment buzzing on a pretty awesome B12/caffeine combo.  Who knew I could have this much energy...and that energy translates into happiness and a good mood? 

Okay so I knew it a few months ago.  Since it wasn't just a sharp dip, I had forgotten what it felt like to feel good, so I didn't realize just how bad I felt.  Is that clear as mud?

I've been doing sublingual B12 drops since my appointment last week and they usually give me a boost for several hours in the day.  Over the long weekend I tried to time it so that I'd have my energy during our big plans, but wouldn't crash too early.

Today is my first day of the infusions, so I'm a little nervous and unsure what to expect.  I've changed purses into a bag big enough to hold a book.  From what I understand the infusions themselves will last for an hour so I'll certainly need to have reading material. 

Selfishly, I hope that I'm there alone.  The infusions will happen in the chemo ward and I'm not sure I'm emotionally strong enough to be surrounded by cancer patients for an hour.  Especially when I'm mostly just there to make sure I'm ready for my marathon training that starts in a few months.

The long weekend was great.  As usual Jay got some awesome pictures.  He also got some less than stellar pics of the back of the kids heads (its difficult taking pictures of a kid on a ride that's spinning around.  I'm glad though, because at least I'll be able to share those pictures with you.  (My sister won't let me post pictures of their gorgeous faces.)

I've got a bit of a game plan for the coming weeks.  I'll try to get my weekend wrap up to you as soon as I can, but at the moment I'm waiting for the pictures from Jay.  I also hope to get some pictures of the house - do sort of a final walk through.  We're wanting to renovate the bathroom sooner rather than later, but we've done all the other work to the house.  I don't think yall want to wait to see pictures of the rest of the house until Jay and I have about $5,000 laying around to redo the bathroom - do you? 

I've also had requests for posts about Athena - my wrestling alter ego, the return of frugal posting, my dreams for the future, all things Little Man & Princess related (cause really - everything they do is cute), and some more randomness. 

I'd say I've got almost 100 blogs of yours to read, so I'd better get at it.  Hope yall are having a terrific week!!

  2. Instead of worrying about not being emotionally strong enough to be around cancer patients, concentrate on trying to be a blessing to them. A warm smile and greeting might be what they need to cheer up their experience, and it will take your mind off your own.

  4. Glad you are feeling better. And you never know maybe God is placing you in the cancer ward to be an inspiration to someone today. You maybe just what they need to see or to talk to to push them to go on. I'll be thinking about you later on today.

  13. Yeayy! Glad to hear that you're feeling better, and I hope the infusions went alright today.

    I thought about taking pictures of my dad & step-mom's home, because it's gorgeous, and it made me think of you & your nesting. They've been there 6 years now, and they just redid the master bathroom. *sigh*...wish I had the sense of design they do.
