I'm still alive, don't worry!

So, it's been awhile. A LONG while. A LOT has happened in this past month.

Today is Tuesday. I started chemo last Thursday, and since then I just haven't been my normal chipper self. On Friday, the day after Chemo #1, I felt completely normal, all except for a metal taste in my mouth. Saturday, I felt SO worn out. Like I'd been hit by a truck. Sunday was a bit better but I still wasn't up to speed and I got worn out early again. Yesterday was my first day at work, and my mouth was hurting a lot and I felt really worn out by the end of the day.

Trevor picked me up after work and we went and got me a Jamba Juice. I went with the Peanut Butter Moo'd, though, because the tartness of the other flavors would have sent my sensitive mouth/tastebuds into a tizzy. Such weird side effects. Today for example, my fingertips have started numbing up a bit. I guess it's expected, though.

My friends have been so wonderful. Celeste and Alia came over on Sunday (Doug and David hung out, too) and cooked dinner, which was SO wonderful, and also great because then we didn't have to cook dinner last night either because of all the left-overs.

Oh, and I forgot to mention: Trevor and I moved into our apartment! Finally! But because we both work full-time, and because I'm so zonked from the chemo, unpacking has been such a feat. Just keeping the house clean is difficult because Trevor is also studying non-stop for the CPA exam. Hey, when it rains, it pours.

I also haven't been sleeping very well. This strange June heatwave is hard to deal with, and Trevor and I can't snuggle through it so I can never feel comfortable. I guess summer is a good time to be going through this, though, because then I'll be bald and stay cool. *sob* I'm trying to be optimistic about the whole hairloss thing, but it's going to be hard... Cute hats, here we come!
