Anticipating the END

...Not of me, just the chemo. I went into the Dr. yesterday and they took some blood to do a test to find "cancer markers". Not sure what they will find, but it is not an all-inclusive test, because there are some cancers that don't leave markers in the blood. But it is just one more way to keep on top of it. Will be having a CT scan on Dec. 28th, and that will tell me more of my progress.

I am looking forward to getting Monday over with. My last chemo. I am finally feeling on the up-side of the previous round. The deep ache didn't hit me today. I got some cleaning done, and tomorrow my goal is to put up my Christmas Tree! Have been having a hard time getting into the Spirit of the Season. Have been feeling a bit low. I'm hoping the tree and my Nativity Scene will be a better reminder.

By the time Christmas rolls around, I may be feeling a bit more decent, and that will help. I have been cleaning out my art supplies, and it has seemed overwhelming. But today, I got through the last of the pile, threw some junk out, fixed a box of stuff to give away, and have a nice pile for the Salvation Army started. It feels good.

While digging out the art supplies, I happened upon my unpainted plaster houses, etc. So, in between all the de-cluttering, I have begun painting the houses. I have finished two now, and hope to get a few more done for Christmas. It keeps me from feeling yucky. I feel like my real self with a paint brush in my hand!

Love to All,
Mary
