Enjoying the Quiet

It's Sunday morning and both Dan and Joe are asleep. There are no TV's or anything else on. I like it that way. We did not do much this weekend. Dan came home from school early and went to the doctor to discover he has strep throat. He hung out all day yesterday and watched the military channel. I did get to play Taxi driver for Joe. In between driving him I did laundry and slept. I was very tired. I am hoping that it is from the routine of working and not radiation. They say that it can make people extremely fatigued. That is all I need. I think I slept enough this winter.

As for radiation I did not have it since Monday. My skin was very irritated and had blistered in one spot. They gave me some cream, which is staining my clothes, and told me to take off until Thursday. When I went in the doctor said it did not look good and I needed to be off until Monday. So here I am stuck at day 19. I feel much better today, just under my arm hurts.

I just want to wake up one morning and not think about cancer! Which reminds me, last night went I went to pick up Joe, I was wearing my new black F Cancer hat. Of course he comes over to the car with three friends. They loved it! I had to get a new one because I have worn the pink one so much it is wearing out.

My hair is coming in good. It is funny because it is mostly grey and black. All this time I thought I was a natural red head with lots of blond highlights. Mom thinks I should go all blond.

Got to go my quiet time is over! There are helpless boys asking me to make them eggs! Oh well, it was nice while it lasted.
