Felt a bit better overall today.     It has been almost two weeks since my last treatments and Dr. Smith said it would take that long    By the time I see her in two more weeks, I intend to feel close to normal.   Got to be good for Christmas.

I made the fudge today.   That was all I did today.    Tomorrow I will make the 7 layer cookies.   Then I will spend the week making those blasted Peanut Butter Buckeyes:)   Want to get my packages off by Dec 15th if I can. 

My decorations are going to be a bit sparse this year.   I am not entertaining big anyway.  I did put the Advent Calendar wall hanging up and have the candy canes hung on it.   That is at least festive and makes me feel proud.

A lovely day in the low 70's again.   With little wind it was so pleasant.   I have been taking Nicky for a short walk when I get the mail.   Good for him.    Good for me.

Still sore, but did feel better in the early part of the day.

Totally uneventful except that Suzi called and we had a nice visit and Bart stopped by for a bit in the late afternoon.

Tomorrow will be better, I know:)

A day spent totally at home.   Didn't even see anybody except a few kids coming home from school who oohed and aahed over Nicky.    He loves young people so that was good.

I did have a break in the quiet when Eileen called and we had a good phone visit.   We never run out of conversation.   Go figure.

I do feel a bit better today.   Was able to eat a bit.   My chest is really sore this evening.    Each day should bring a bit of improvement now that I am a week beyond the chemo AND radiation.   At least this is a quiet week and I don't have any obligations or appointments.

Starting to think about Christmas.   I can't believe that Sunday is the first Sunday in Advent.

I now know why I am so exhausted.    It seems my blood count is low so I am on antibiotics for a week.  That would explain a lot.   I also have a new medicine that may help my stomach pain.     Keep your fingers crossed.

I hate to be such a complainer.   I am not used to being sick and if God is trying to teach me patience, it isn't working:)

It was a lovely day in Oklahoma.   Up in the 70's.    I took Nicky out when I got the mail and got to visit with my neighbors Jarrod and Bill for a bit.      I have the best neighbors.    I would not hesitate to ask any of them for help.   A new neighbor will be moving in next to Jarrod on the weekend.   The house has been vacant for some time.

So    North Korea at it again!!!

Well.   I am alone again.    Leslie and Bill left this morning for home and called when they got there so I know they are safe and sound.

I have not been feeling very well.    So will go to bed early tonight and hope that tomorrow will be better.    I know that it will just take time and healing.
