We had our first snowfall yesterday...just a couple of inches but school was cancelled and the kids had fun. It was very pretty and it made it really feel like Christmas. This morning it is only 18 degrees...I have always hated wearing coats but now that I have to be extra careful about not getting sick I wear my big coat, gloves and even a scarf! I always heard that wigs may be hot to wear but no one told me that a cold breeze blowing outside goes right thru the back of a wig and hits your scalp....bbrrr.. It is interesting to see how hair reacts to chemo....I am enjoying not having to shave my legs anymore but I find it irritating that you also lose the tiny hairs inside your nose....what's the big deal with that??? If you eat something hot or go out in the cold your nose starts running instantly with no warning....I guess those little hairs kind of control that for the rest of you...for some reason the hair on my arms seem to be totally unaffected...just my luck - the hair I dislike the most on my body seems to be the hair that is going to hang on! Okay, enough talk about hair this morning!!!
I am feeling good after the last treatment...it actually seems like I felt better faster this time...maybe that is because I didn't get as sick over the weekend but whatever the reason I will take it! I do feel like I might be fighting a sinus infection so I hope that doesn't get any worse. I talked to the nurse yesterday and she said a lot of people are getting sick right now and that I should call them if I run a fever...I am hoping that I feel good this weekend so that I can get everything ready for Christmas. It stinks to only have every other weekend to get ready so I have to try to pack everything into two days....both the kids are very excited for Christmas. Jillian is at that perfect age...she walks around and sings Christmas carols all the time...of course, half the words are made up but it is so cute! Stay warm!! Jan

Good morning sis! Glad to hear you are once again getting back on your feet! Worry about you constantly. Try and stay as healthy as possible and keep bundling. We are freezing here also. Yes, I can just hear Jillian's "original" hits in my head. That has to put a smile on your face.
Love you,
Kay
Jan - what a WONDERFUL post... Your sense of humor still intact! Laughter is the best medicine and you were making laugh at your nose hair remarks and especially your arm hair remark! (hehe).... Yes, only having every other weekend certainly would cramp anyones style! What I loved most of all was invisioning the kids - getting excited for Christmas. Especially little Jillian singing her Christmas Carols.... Having the little ones around - oh yes, that's what it's all about! I'm glad you are bouncing back better this time! Take care, stay warm and STAY HEALTHY!!!! Love you.... Sue
I'm relieved to hear you so chipper and enjoying life's "little" pleasures!
