I have decided to continue this blog, even though I am back to work. That way I still get the "outlet" to write about my experience, students can still check up on me even if they can't make it to the library, and, since many of my (out of town) family members found this blog, I will keep it up for them too!

Work has been great. It is nice to be back in the library... though you can often hear me ranting about the germs on keyboards! (Also be sure to check out the posters my student aides are working on for the bathrooms to encourage hand washing!!)

Thursday is my 3rd chemo - and I am halfway there. I am really upset to be missing Friday and guitar hero (come ask us about playing at lunch - it is really fun!) Next Friday I want to play... any staff members want to challenge me??? :-)

So, this week I am a bit down... it is tough to feel like the next chemo is looming over me waiting to make me sick (and just when I am feeling good.) Ok, ok so I get to whine a bit, and really I do see it as a means to an end (getting well) and am good with it but it still is frustrating sometimes. And my "advisor" Miki says I need to not only put in the "good" stuff but share the "downer" stuff too. I do want to be as truthful as possible! (Another good thing, Miki says.)

Well, I have to go - until next time!
