1/19/11 – Hey! It’s been a good day. I was very tired last night. I fell asleep before 10:00 and slept until 10:20 this morning. I am feeling about as energized as I can get right now. We brought Abby over to our house to play with Buster. She and Buster both felt the need to sleep in the bed last night. I woke up to Abby between me and Todd on my pillow. It may sound weird, but when she looked at me with those big brown eyes all I could do is say “hey Abby” and pet her – so cute.
I didn’t do too much today. I was able to get a full 4 hours in at work. It is amazing how much you can do when you work from home. I think I am more focused because I want to get done and enjoy the rest of my day. I worked in 2 hour increments. I was happy to not feel too tired. I’ve always wanted to work more from home but this definitely was NOT the way I planned to accomplish that. Funny how things work out.
After working I did rest. I needed a little breather. I know I don’t do anything straining on my body, like lift things or walk a lot, but staring at a computer isn’t all that easy either. It takes a little brain power. I am a little worried about how I will do when I start having to do things that require me to actually think. Right now I am doing pretty easy stuff that anyone should be able to do - busy work that someone has to do so no better person than me, right?
I got some good news today. My oncologist called and said he had the results of my PET scan. The PET scan came back clean which means I have no other tumors in my body – Yay! The new oncologist should have received the results too so I guess we will go over them at my consultation tomorrow. I expect to hear pretty much the same thing. Oh, I forgot to mention…. 2 small kidney stones showed up on my PET scan – great, kidney stones. Just what I needed. Apparently they are really small and aren’t in a place that would cause me any pain right now. He did recommend following up with a urologist once my chemo is complete.
I’ve really enjoyed looking at the stats for my blog. I’m able to see how many times a post has been viewed, how people look at them (iphone, facebook, pc), and where people are from that read the blog. I have a healthy number of readers in the U.S. but there are also some faithful followers in Canada. I have also seen the U.K., Sweden, South Korea, Croatia, and guess what? Slovenia! I thought it was funny after I wrote about Todd watching House Hunters International where a couple was looking for a vacation home in Slovenia that someone from there read my blog. Awesome! Slovenia is supposed to be a beautiful country.
Someone mentioned that my blog should have sponsors. I totally agree with that. Do you know how many people have mentioned that my blog has inspired them to go to Five Guys or get a Smoothie? A business savvy person should be able to turn this into something marketable (not sure if I would qualify as “business savvy”, even to myself). Let’s say I am able to pull off this sponsor thing, do you think maybe my ambitions have been too low? How about Tiffany’s or Chanel? Don’t get me wrong, I am still down for a good burger and smoothie, I just think there will come a time when my sponsored choice will need to NOT add extra calories to my daily diet.
On that note, I haven’t yet eaten dinner. Now that I think about it, I am totally feeling a burger or a good chicken sandwich. I got an original chicken sandwich from Chick-fil-A the other day with extra pickles and it was heavenly. I think I would like another one of those along with a cookies and cream milkshake - yum. Why is everything that tastes so good so bad for you? Life is unfair. My song of the day is Matt Maher “Hold us Together”. I think this has been my song before but I love this song and this is my blog, so deal with it. My favorite part is where he says “cause even in the dark you can still see the light, it’s gonna be alright, gonna be alright!” I found a link for the song. Enjoy!
I head to the new oncologist tomorrow. I’m hoping for a positive experience. I’ll update and let all of you know how it goes tomorrow. Night y’all!
