Week 12 - Cycle 3 of 12

Righto, so when last we left our embattled TheNewMe, she was thinking "Ok - I can deal with this", well, that was cycle 2.

After Cycle 3, I have to admit that I had a bit of a rough week, and perhaps more so because I had been feeling so much better (relatively speaking).   I did go into the office more days and I did try and do a bit more, but even so, I was shocked by the level of exhaustion that I felt because it was so unexpected.  Even to the point of going in my bed at 4:00pm when I got home...and staying there.

Aside from that, (and I am not sure what was the culprit for this), but I had a lot of aching bones over the course of 3 days.  I don't know if you've ever felt your thigh bones ache, but I believe I have, and I wouldn't recommend it at all.  It might be yet another side effect of the chemotherapy drug that I have only just experienced, but you can be sure I'll be complaining again if I get afflicted by this after the next cycle.

Fortunately, I feel better again now, just in time for Cycle 4 tomorrow - imagine, 1/3 way through!

Just keep on hanging in there and do whatever you need to to get you through this. Hope Cycle 4 treats you better!

Hey Savi - so far so good. It is Friday and I don't have the tremendous aching, but I was wiped out yesterday.So today will be an early day for me!

Part of it is also trying to figure out which drugs I can do without in all of the additional medication they give me that is NOT necessarily for the cancer, but to help manage side-effects (since they also have side effects themselves)..lol

Best Groom's Response Ever!

20 Years ago "On behalf of my most beautiful wife, Sally and myself, I'd like to thank you all for being here today. Special thanks go to all those of you who have worked very hard to make and arrange this event and to those of you who have traveled very long and very far to be here today. You may have noticed, on the outside, Sally and I are very different and have different backgrounds; but on the inside, Sally and I are very alike. We can relate to how each other thinks and feels - which is why we are here today. So, on behalf of my wife Sally and myself, I would like to thank Allah for bringing two like souls together despite the outer appearances, and I would also like to thank both our families for accepting the new family member so kindly despite the outer differences." True then as it is now. The paper he is holding? My hubby's hand-written notes from 20 years ago: But you want wedding pictures right?  Outside the mosque, be...

Job Search2: Networking etiquette..

On which I have a few ideas.  As my husband keeps telling me, I won't get a job by spending hours in front of the computer submitting applications to online job postings.  The best use of any job-seeker's time is spent talking to friends and acquaintances and letting them know that you are looking for a job and what your skills and interests are. So here is what I found tricky about networking: How hard to push?  Working parents are busy, so if I asked a friend, who is a working parent, about a position I had seen at their company, do I ask a second time? How soon after? And what if there is another position - do I talk about that too?  If that friend is very enthusiastic about getting more information for me on a post then I hear nothing, what then?  Is it realistic to think they'll get back to me?  I find it difficult to broach the topic again.  I might ask a second time but for me there is no third time. What do I trade in return? In the net...

About those peeps

I've previously blogged about my state trying to find a group of girlfriends here in Austin , so I thought I'd provide an update on my quest to surround myself with peeps who are actually available to go to the neighbourhood coffee shop and sit down and chat.  Well, I had made friends with another mom whose son had just started at Lucas' new school.  We would try to have a chat, without children, once a week. Well, they decided to move to Utah after the first term.  Another mom I met through my mom's group who I would meet up separately with and actually have a conversation about what is going on in life, moved too. Not out of state, but far enough where I can't meet her for coffee either.  Hmmmmm. So, my plan has been to crash other peoples' socials.  I went to a playgroup I didn't belong to but was being hosted by a neighbour, that worked out just great!  A little social time, play time for Liam.  I invited another neighbour out to see a movie...on...
