Trying to stay present

How to measure time these days?

The present: Megan arrived today and it is wonderful having her here. Taught three classes. One with hat hair and two in my little beanies.

I freaked out a little bit this morning because the hat-hair elastic strap that goes across the forehead broke. I wasn't prepared to leave the house with only a beanie. So, I stapled it together and went to teach my active.com yoga class. The hat hair wouldn't survive in the heated yoga room at Sculpt Fusion so, I braved it with the cotton beanie. It worked. I just try not to look in the mirror.

The future: Chemo Round #2 is Thursday. I'm trying not to dwell on it
but, I've got to start all the pre-treatments, aka steroids, tomorrow. So much preparation for three hours in the lounge chair at Scripps. So much preparation to get sick. So much stress knowing what is coming. I'm not dreading the actual treatment, just the aftermath. Praying that I can prevent the bone pain this time.

At least I don't have to worry about my hair falling out.

This photo is what came out Saturday morning.
