What's happening... now?

Nothing new to report.  I'm actually feeling much better today than I have in a while.  I'm still trying to find a happy medium with my meds, but at least I got something that's working.

Work has been okay so far.  Everyone has been super understanding and I'm doing things at my own pace, which is nice.

I'm still feeling pretty tired though... this has been my hardest cycle yet.  Carlos has been doing everything, I almost feel bad.  He's been pulling double daddy/husband duties.  Don't know what I'd really do without him.

Hopefully I'll be feeling much better this weekend, cuz I gotta go buy a costume for the little one.  She wants to be Spongebob :D  - I still don't know what I'm gonna be, but what ever it is, it better be rocking!

Bleh. There's a pillow with my name on it and I can't wait to put my head to.  Nap it is.

Chemotherapy

So I finally started my chemotherapy yesterday.  It was some 4.5 hours, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.  For the most part I was just cold and slightly queazy.  I did get more nauseous as I got home but I got some meds and ginger tea/candy helped bunches.

I haven't been eating as much... just can't stomach the thought.

Nurse told me that one of my chemo drugs (I take two) is the one that makes me crazy nauseous and that I will probably feel the side-effects for the next seven days -oh joy!- I said... "It can't be worse than having morning sickness all day."  It's not.  It's more annoying.


Had my second session  today.  It was only two hours.  Tomorrow is my last session (another two hours) and then I'm done for the  month.

I'll be going back October 6th for my second round of chemo.  Will probably lose my hair then... I'll be rocking though. I look good in any hair style and I always wondered if I had a pretty head.  I'll be sporting the baldie for a while but it will be much fun to play with.  Then I some new hair and I'm hoping its as pretty as my daughter's.

I will go back to work next week -thank GOD!- I'm not one to stay at home all the time and just do nothing productive.  Work will keep my mind off things.  So all it's all good.  Everyone there is understanding and I'm sure the change in atmosphere will do my soul some wonders.  I'm a little apprehensive though, since it's been a long while since I've worked, but I'm sure in a week or two it will be just like old times and I'll be kicking some major booty.  

Anyway... all in all, things are good.  Or as good as they are gonna get.  I'll take it one day at a time and see how I feel later on.

I'll keep you all's posted - XOXO

Wordpress/LiveJournal Cross Posts?

So I finally got around to to fixing the cross-posting feature on my personal blog and LiveJournal.  Now I won't have to go back and forth!!! No more missed posts, or blah blah stuff like that. 

I'm so excited.  I know- I know- it doesn't take much these days to make me happy.

On to life events...

So I've been playing Guitar Hero World Tour like crazy.  My little munchkin has gotten a real kick at watching mommy strum her stuff.  Its fun, but I think she just likes the noise though, and watching mommy make a fool of herself.  But it's hilarious to watch.  I still suck though, I just don't have enough time to play like I want to.  I'll never be any good at this rate.  I so wanna play against my friends online. HA!  [loves PS3 just for that reason].

Work has been hectic as always.  My desk is back to looking like national disaster zone.  At least I am not sick, like everyone else seems to be *knocks on wood*.  It's like bio-warfare here at the office.  Everyone's desk is a biohazard zone.

In other news, I did end up getting my 'WTF?' stamp.  HA!  Lots of people got a kick on that one.  Now, every time I get some B.S. document that makes no sense to me at all... I send it back with a 'WTF?' stamp.  Everyone wants one now.  I think I started a trend.

OMG!  And what's with everyone using 'meh' these days?  That's like my word!!!! LOLS!  I use that more than I really should.  I know it's not really a word and what not, but heck, it's fun to use when there is really no comment or I just feel like whatever.  And while we're on the subject of words... you should check out this post (Friday Fun Meme) on my blog.   It's a little word play deal.  It's fun.

Personal life has been good so far.  Health wise, it was a bad year for me last year.  I had to deal with a lot of issues that had set me back not only emotionally but also physically (damn that weight!), but after finishing physical therapy (not to mention countless chiropractor visits) I got the clear from my doctor to go back to the gym.  I start next week.  So I'm excited.  The people that are in the 'know' have been very supportive and I will forever be grateful to them.  Had to quit Japanese class unfortunately because of this, but I've been keeping up with it.  I got to Japanese Meetups and the whole nine!  Its really quite funny... yes indeedy.

I've been also hanging out a lot with my friends.  In fact, we went to a karaoke bar a while back, went ice skating (which I should have NEVER done), movies, bars, Hollywood, and this Friday my gal-friends and I are hosting a tea party/wine tasting/cheese tasting party.  Yes, I know, we are corny, but heck- it's fun.  We had a movie night last time, we had to do something different this time. (Dana-chan!  Frenchanine!  I love you :D)

So all and all, things have been good so far.  I guess I should have seen this post coming.  I didn't post anything for a while and I had been itching to talk about what had been going on in my life.  So there you have it folks.  That's my story...  so far.

On Work...

I'm usually the one who is all into work. A work-a-holic of sorts. But things have been so busy lately that I just don't wanna be here.

Really. Really.

It's sad. I got so much shit I need to get done and not enough hours in the day to finish it. I'm gonna really get cracking soon, and work some OT to get caught up. I don't wanna be behind when the new years comes around. I wanna be on top of everything.

I guess 'that' will be my pre-new-year's-resolution...resolution:

Finish all the outstanding crap sitting on my desk and update all the shit that needs to be updated before the end of the year.

Meh.
