Just a few more days until my next treatment. Although it won’t necessarily be the same as it was the last time, I’m dreading that first week and all the various side effects I went through. I am better prepared this time though; I know more or less what to expect and I have ways to mitigate some of the issues.

I’ve had a couple of really good weeks; this past week I’ve felt as close to “normal” as I have since this whole process started. I’ve done some sewing – with the neuropathy in my fingers it is difficult to nest seams but I haven’t lost too many points. I’ve also been working on the border of one of my Peppermint Purple projects; if I have a sleepless night as I did after my last treatment it will be done.

I have a sewing day arranged with Stacia and Deloise for Sunday. While they are both moving on to a different pattern in the book I’ll be working to finish the project I started the last time we sewed together. The only quilting I’ve done since summer has been small cards so it will be interesting to see how a larger project goes – assuming I get that far.

We’ve had a real spell of cold weather – well cold for us. We had snow one day earlier in the week and we are expecting quite a bit on Saturday night. I’m glad we don’t have to go anywhere until Monday by which time I expect it will all be gone.
