Changes

 The days are definitely getting longer.  My daffodils are coming up, which they usually do some time in January... and then they get frozen, or covered in ice.

We'll see what happens this year.  Some of them actually manage to bloom some years....

My visit with the doc went well.  My lab work looked perfect, after a month off of hormone blockers, and a week off of chemo.

For now, I am continuing with the same chemo pill, with the original hormone blocker that I was given years ago.

Back then, it caused my finger joints to lock, so we will see what it does now.

The good part is that I can still walk and hike and dance without pain. I've got that going for me so far, but It's only been 3 days, though....

If this doesn't prove to be tolerable, then there IS a different chemo pill out there that *can* be used without a hormone blocker to support it... but my doctor asked a pointed question.... do I want quality of life, or quantity of life?

Ugh.  I've gotten used to having both...

Anyway, it was really warm here yesterday, while my various Illinois folks were dealing with cold and snow.  

We opened up the windows, and I did my chores, and included getting the area rug out of the office, and mopping in there.

I used the clear floor space to practice some dancing, and hopefully start on a choreography I need to create and master by the end of the month if I want to perform in a virtual show.

I can always back out, but my director really wants me to do this.  It's a challenge, because I do not excel at creating choreographies.

Must focus on living day to day, as I usually do, and not think about Doc's question too hard, HAHA!

Sunny and colder here today, but Dave put off the yard work he said he would do yesterday, and now he has to do it in the cold.  That's what you get for procrastinating!

This is the cutting back and raking out that he has been saying he would do since after the ice storm....it has to be done!  Our flower bed and areas in the back still look absolutely awful.

I am going to try to dance some more, and I have a couple of celebratory things to do for the course I am taking. 

The coming week has no appointments or plans, and I am hoping to switch to a different dance class, as the one I have been taking is just drills.  I want to learn new combinations and transitions, and maybe that will help me with my choreography project.

Have a good week, and if you live where it snowed, try to enjoy the beauty of it!
