2-11, 26 years in the making!

Happy 26th Birthday to my son Michael! Doesn't really feel like it was that long ago....

2-9 The last of the 33

Finally, its the last of the 33 treatments today. To top it off I have a  Dentist appointment that will probably include x-rays this morning immediately following radiation. Not exactly the way I would have planned it but you know it takes 8 weeks in advance to book a dentist appointment! 
Dr. Nuesch will send me off with instructions and I'll have a follow up visit in 3 weeks. 

2-8 Agitated

“Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves”
-Carl Jung

There are a few things that other people do that agitate me. (chewing gum, teeth grinding, nail biting..I'm working on my reactions to those behaviors (could I possibly walk away? or just let it go?)

If you want to be happy, be. -- Henry David Thorreau

2-5 Lashes, the burn and Buddha belly

 My lashes and brows are filling in very quickly. The hair on my head is looking less like an illness and more like a "choice".

The boost burn is peeling and itching. I am doing my best not to scratch. I'm the girl walking around rubbing her collarbone and boob....By the way that's a bathing suit top in case you're wondering. Photo #3 in front of the Temple on 360 just down from our house. Nice weekend, did some sweaty vinyasa yesterday and the 4mi loop downtown this morning in the drizzle with Diane. Soy latte and a bagel at Jo's on 2nd street made it all worth it. 

2-3 Burn baby burn

Today and Monday no radiation for me. Skin under my arm is peeling. Fresh new pink skin is super sensitive. Bra-less the past few days..I may get used to that after all! 
Countdown 3 treatments remaining. 

2-1 momentous occasion

This morning I shaved my legs. First time since mid-August. 

Typical Austin winter, Sunday morning at 8:00am walking Town Lake it was 35*, this morning it is 65* with a high of 77*!
