Four Twenty P.M.


Disciplining myself to do a couple of things a day that will keep me in the momentum of that positive flowing stream within. And that is allowing me to live in the smile of today. I will be starting school next month again and I am making sure that Each day I direct my thoughts towards learning. I set aside a couple hours a day and push my brain into that thinking mode. I need to excercise those muscles and I do not want them to be all flabby once I begin school, cause I know what a pounding it is on the brain to read and study and go to school.

I got my labs done. It is sometime weird to watch the nurse pull out a big book and start reading about what Vials they are to use and then they collect one vial from this shelf another from a cabinet and another from over there. It makes you really aware of the testing that they are doing. Its not that normal blood tests...I have a disease!!!! so they have to look me up in the medical books...lol

When I got back home here I took my shot. Now that was number 13. Thirteen has always been a good number in our house. My parents got engaged on the 13th and have been married for over 200 years!!! nah, 36 years - but I was close.

13 to me means that I am one shot closer to my goal of ending this treatment.

As you can tell with my humor I am feeling up in spirits.

It feels Good feeling Good...

Off to do my evening of warming thoughts and beautiful smiles

Shot Day Number Thirteen - One Fourty P.M.

I've been sleeping like crap the last few days. I wake up every hour. My itching is unbearable. I'm just scratching the surface with complaints...

I feel good today. I have Labs at 2:15 and then when I get home I am doing my shot -Number 13 baby!!

Tonight I have my 2 meetings and then my field trip to Eden Prarie. My friend is coming along. She just popped out a baby a little while ago and he is coming along too.

Doing okay...Just itching along through the day
