Better This Time

The Oncologist lowered the dose of the chemo drug last Monday, and although I have had some aches and pains, it is nowhere near as severe as last time. I have only had to take a minimal amount of pain medication. That is encouraging. I am looking forward to being done with this part of the process.

I have been keeping busy with my Cricut machine, which is a paper die cut machine. I just made a set of Nativity Figures that I will laminate and send to my Granddaughter, FIona to use as refrigerator magnets. It keeps my mind and hands busy. I am also working on some larger decorations for hanging on the girls' bedroom wall.

This week, my goal is to go through my craft materials and get rid of things I am not currently using. I have years of materials I have collected, and I am thinking realistically about the fact that I will never be able to do all the projects I have available. I have enough acryllic paint to cover the White House, so I will consolidate and give the rest away.

I have also decided that I will concentrate my efforts on painting and scrapbooking. I have everything I need to stay busy for years with what I have. I would like to give some of it away to others I know who work with other kinds of crafts, like beading, and Christmas Crafts, etc.

I am glad to be feeling better, and am looking forward to the not-so-distant future when I can re-join the living and get back to my "normal" life!

Love to All,

Mary
