I turned on the stove to prepare dinner for the first time in who knows how long. And then . . . within a minute or two the smoke alarm went off. That's how you know I'm back in the kitchen. I just wanted to warm up one of those pull-out-of-the-freezer, warm-it-up-type dinners someone brought to us! There was something on the burner, I promise, the dinner turned out fine. : ) But there is a little joke in our family about mom and the smoke detector.
I've had a pretty good day today! I'm exhausted and I should have taken a nap, but Diana and Kari were here and we get carried away with conversation and laughter. We went out for lunch while my van was getting fixed and then drove around so I could accomplish a couple of things. I find myself looking at everyone around me when I'm out, for two reasons. First, one of my "fears" is that I will see someone I know, someone that I would normally stop and talk to, but they won't recognize me without my hair. And second, after you get a diagnosis like this, you hear about so many more people who have cancer too, or someone knows someone that was just diagnosed. So, I look around to see if I'm the only one without hair or if there really are tons of bald people out there. I have no problem with my baldness. If it wasn't so cold outside, I'd go out with no hat. It is amazing how your hair keeps the rest of you warm!
I'm heading to the gym tonight, it's a cardio day, and after what I ate for lunch, I need some cardio! I'll watch Biggest Loser, even though I'm two episodes behind. Mat is awesome about either coming with me and jogging with the baby in the stroller, or just letting me go on my own. I think he sees it is about my mental health right now. Too much sitting around at home makes me really depressed! That is another reason I love to have so many people coming to help us, because I get conversation and less time to sit and think and wonder and worry. So, THANKS for loving us and helping us through this!
