Report Card

Last week…

1. Last week was one week after Chemo Week. The last time around, by Monday, I was almost back to my usual self, energy and discomfort-wise. This time around, it wasn’t until yesterday, Saturday, that I didn’t want to spend all my time in bed rather than forcing myself to go through the motions of being “normal.” I had hoped this chemo thing would be something I’d adjust to and I could get on with my life. Again, I’m adjusting my expectations and my schedule as a result. I know it’s got to sound a little weird, but I have to keep notes and plan my life because that’s part of who I am.
2. Because I wasn’t fully back up to speed last week, I canceled the pre-order for Ignition. If you’ve been waiting for it, I apologize.
3. I worked on edits for one author, sporadically. I should have completed them, but I’m close.
4. The family is still being lovely to me. The 15-year-old and I have movie nights, where I choose a classic to share with her. Hot Fuzz was very enjoyable. The 11-year-old has really taken to crochet and comes down to raid my yarn stash often. Then, she sits, and we watch reruns of Reba (her current favorite sitcom) together while she crochets and I enjoy the company.

This next week…

1. This week, now that I feel a bit better, I’m going to push to get as much work done as I can before Chemo Week begins next Monday.
2. It’s the end of the quarter, and I have to update all my plans. The calendar is looking a bit bare. I’m keeping my expectations low of what I can accomplish, until December, when my current rounds of chemo are scheduled to end.
3. This week, I’m working on an editing project for one author.
