Update

Falling down on the job around here. No theme song for yesterday. And I don't have the powers of concentration to apply myself to today's Name Game round-up.

The good news is that each round of chemo goes a little easier on me in terms of the GI tract symptoms. No stomach cramping this time around, for instance.

The bad news is that each round of chemo goes a little harder on me in terms of the exhaustion. And my nights are now filled with hot flashes that interrupt my sleep and make the tiredness even worse.

So. Here's to be thankful that there are only 2 rounds left.

The kids come home today. Bryan and I had toyed with the idea of going to MO to our farm for the weekend. He has a little project to do there and had wanted to make a trip in the Fall, and we thought it would be nice to get away, get to see our friends, Helen, David and BroJean.

But these friends have to leave town suddenly themselves and as we won't be able to see them, why drag myself out there? So the kids will stay with me while Bryan leaves this afternoon and comes home on Sunday. Usually after their week of fun with Betsy's family, the kids like to come into their home and spend hours poking around their spaces and re-visiting their toys and curling up on the couch to read. It should be a cozy weekend for us.
