My desk at work is organized and ready to be shared with a fabulous sub! I have been blessed to be given one person who will cover my classes when I am not able to be at school. This person is better than I could have asked for and I am soooo thankful that the students will be provided a very consistent math education no matter who is there! I have been lovingly referring to her as my other half at school because I know as we get farther into the treatments and closer to surgery she will end up sharing the classes with me and I am so comfortable with this! That is saying a great deal because I am so attached to my work that I am not good at sharing usually but there is something different about this wonderful person! She is one of my angels because she gives me such peace of mind to be able to focus on getting rid of this cancer when I am away! No worries about what is happening when I am gone from school!
I accomplished so many things today and was able to get so much accomplished! So much so that I am planned out for weeks with most of the xeroxing completed.... that's huge in the teaching world!!
At home I was able to make dinner, eat and clean up before I had to crash for an hour. I am now up and about to catch up on decluttering the family room... toy heaven! The girls really have been good about picking up but they do not pay attention to details-- like missing small pieces near the couch, putting the Barbie stuff in the correct tub, or getting all the dress up in the box and not just near the box. I also look forward to vacuuming the rooms and the hallway to get it all clean. It is really surreal to have almost a mental count-down to the time at which I will be down for the count. I know that when I leave on Friday for Chemo I will be walking back in to spend the next three days in bed just trying to stay ahead of the nausea and sleep through the dizziness. This does make me celebrate these special days I am having since I now feel this good for only a few days.
I am still so overwhelmed by all the people who love us and have supported us throughout this journey! We are blessed to have so many delicious meals given to us still! We also are surprised each day by some beautiful gesture of caring and compassion from someone in our lives. Thank you to each of you who have been one of these people!
Good night to all!
