After a lovely week off of chemo heading back on Monday, June 1st to start another round was tough. It was a long day. Started with blood draw, then a visit with Kelly, my oncology nurse (she is very cool), and then chemo (Taxol and Avastin). Everything went well, but it was just one of those longggggg days.
I was pretty impatient with everyone who crossed my path. I didn't sleep well the night before, which always makes for a rough next day. I was even impatient with the lady at Au Bon Pain - seriously the lady at Au Bon Pain - she deserved that, right? Of course the person that gets the worst of it is Wayne. At one point I thought he might try to put me out of the car on the way home, but of course he was patient and loving as always, which just made me angrier - awesome!!! I am thankful for my very patient, very calm husband. Baffled by him, but very, very thankful : )
Wayne and I made it until the end of the day and went to bed. I woke up feeling better and headed to work. All I can say about the June 1 chemo is that another visit to the hospital was checked off of the calendar.
Goal for today (Monday, June 8) was to be nicer to the lady at Au Bon Pain, but I didn't get my chance because my newest chemo buddy went there and picked up my muffin (thanks Joey). I promise to kill her with kindness on June 15 - she probably won't remember me, but I remember her.
Have a great week and remember to be extra nice to the people at Au Bon Pain, Corner Bakery, Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, Baskin Robbins (Dad... if you go for ice cream this week feel free to call me and ask if I want a milk shake) and all your other favorite spots.
