3 down and 1 to Go!

I successfully made it through another round of chemo and re hydration process. I'm having much the same reaction as the first 2 times. Right now I feel pretty energized, in fact only slept about 3 hours last night and hasn't seemed to slow me down a bit. I had a full day today, worked this morning, went for my re hydration and white cell booster shot, ran over to the knit shop and stayed about an hour knitting with the girls. Other customers have asked to connect with me when they hear my story and are newly diagnosed... I knew God would use this experience to reach out to others and they are coming out of the woodwork. I feel like I should have business cards printed, Have cancer? Call Sue. I dropped off my prescriptions, went to the American Cancer Society meeting on Look Good, Feel Great, it was really fun and they gave me a beautiful kit of very nice makeup! They said go home and throw all your old stuff out, it's full of germs. I had just told Bill that I needed to clean out and organize my makeup. I probably have some that is 10 years old just hanging around in a box labeled extra make up. I should probably just pitch it without even looking in the box, I'm such a pack rat!! Picked up my prescriptions and was home by 9PM. Tomorrow I'll be working all day, starting early with a going away party for a co-worker who will be greatly missed. Pray I have the energy until tomorrow night and then I can collapse for the weekend. I'm usually good until Friday and then the fatigue hits me. I have the Grandkids all day Friday but I have some games and activities planned, we're going to do a magic show.... I got a couple of neat kid magic tricks books, it's nice that they are old enough to read themselves, and they can entertain me! We're also going to make ice cream and of course play cards and Yatzee. Saturday I have a digital scrapbooking workshop to attend in the morning and then I think I'll take a nap. As you can see I really don't have time to be sick.

Romans 13:13-14 We can't afford to waste a minute, must not squander these precious daylight hours in frivolity and indulgence, in sleeping around and dissipation, in bickering and grabbing everything in sight... Dress yourselves in Christ, and be up and about! (This is from "The Message" version of the Bible). Might want to look it up in another version.

Hug: First things first "These words are easy to speak but hard to put into practice. Why? Because so many people are expecting so many things from us! If you're having trouble prioritizing your day, perhaps you've been trying to organize your life according to your own plans, not God's. A better strategy is to take your daily obligations and place them in the hands of the One who created you. To do so, you must prioritize your day according to God's commandments, and you must seek His will and His wisdom in all matters. Then you can face the day with the assurance that the same God who created our universe out of nothingness will help you put first things first in your own life.
