I have energy!!


My eyelashes are growing!!! My left eye kept more of them than the right eye, so its been a little uneven which I'm sure no one but me even notices. The right eye though has some little tiny short lashes that are coming in, they're gray, but they're there!! Woo hoo!! I'm hoping the hair on my head is soon to follow. I have some individual hairs that probably never would have fallen out that were like an inch and a half long, but they would stick straight up in the air, so we trimmed them. Brent re-buzzed me so its all one length. We'll see how it comes back in. Gray & curly is my guess.
I don't think my energy level is all the way back to "normal," but its close. I get through my normal day pretty easily, including racing Max in the backyard or wrestling with both of them, but after the little dudes go to bed, I'm done. Although, before cancer I was pretty well done after they went to bed, so its hard to tell. The only doctor like thing I have this week is a trip to the dentist on Wednesday, and I'm pretty sure normal people do that, so I can handle that one. Although I did play the cancer card last time I was there to avoid getting a cavity filled, so I think this time there will be shots. Dang it!
We had a great weekend visiting my grandparents for a late Christmas, and then mom and I went shopping. I haven't been shopping in a year or so, (seriously, not exaggerating), so I loved it. Total adrenaline rush from spending money. Sad, materialistic, true. A friend of the family also made a very cool cake for me. It was a congrats for being done with chemo cake. :) It was awesome. It had three tiers, beautiful colors, and pictures from the blog on it. Way more cake than we could eat, but we tried. I was very impressed, very professional. I have a picture of it somewhere, if I remember when I get home I'll put it on here. Thanks Jeri!
