It was radio silence there for a while. Sorry about that. Chemo #3 & 4 really knocked me on my ass. It took longer and longer to bounce back after those. And I wasn't even answering text messages. It was a lot of sleeping and Netflix. I did make it back to PA for Thanksgiving as I mentioned in my last post ions ago. The pic below is all my cousins that were there. It was good to be there with the family.
Right after Thanksgiving I did get my tree up (before chemo #3). Tow of my guy friends came over and helped. I didn't know that decorating a tree could be so dirty, but they had no problems with the jokes and comments.
I was also able to make it to a holiday party at the Denver Zoo. I didn't last too long out in the cold but my friends were good sports about it. I couldn't have had on any more clothes either. But at least we got a picture. And the wig looks pretty good there too!
The day after chemo #4 I was on a plane back to PA for my sisters wedding and Christmas. I had big plans for the 2 week stay but only made it off the couch those 2 days. Everyone in the family was sick with a nasty head cold so I got that as well as some other stuff. It wasn't too much fun. My taste buds are all by gone so finding things to eat and drink are tough. Anything sweet is so bad I can't do it. Water also tastes so bad I can't drink it. When I came downstairs on Christmas morning I found my parents asleep. I thought this was such a cute photo of them.
The wedding was 2 days before Christmas. My friend Nicole from { La Bella Sposa } did an great job on everyone's hair and my wig looked amazing (probably needed to be pulled forward in this picture but thats ok). It was pretty cold so I wore a sweater most of the night but did take it off for some of the pictures since I paid for such a pretty dress.

It's a thing now to pick a word that will be your theme or mantra for the new year. I had to do it for work so mine will be resilience. Which be definitions means - the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness. Yup that will do it!
