Cousin Flashie!

I have begun the hot flash phase of the experience! It used to be that when I got mad (usually with students), my face and neck would turn red. Now, however, they won't know if I'm angry or if it's a hot flash! Tricked them! Ha!

The weepy business has been muuuuch better this week. I'm sure it was better because my cold is better and nearly gone, I slept well, I didn't overdo it, etc. I had a few hot flashes, but at this point it's still kind of a novelty. I'm sure it will be much less entertaining at some point, but none of this stuff is irritating enough to really bother me. Yet.

Basically I'm plugging along, taking my drugs, visualizing those tumors shrinking and thinking as positively as possible, while still allowing myself to whine and pout once in a while. I will have more bloodwork and scans in November to check out the progress and see how those drugs are doing.

The kids are back to school and are doing great. The kindergarten teachers tell me that Cannon is focused. I never thought I would hear "Cannon" and "focused" in the same sentence... who knew!? They are amazing little dudes. They are used to seeing my cry now and it doesn't phase them much, which is good. They make me laugh and they take care of me when I need it. I have the greatest family ever. :)
