Christmas was perfect!

We had a nice day. We went to my brother-in-law's house and watched old tv shows and movies all day. I'm not a big gift person. I think its more important to give than receive. My husband and I have had so many big bills this year we didn't give each other anything. He said the sweetest thing, he said what he wanted for Christmas was "more time." I thought he meant more time with me, but what he meant was more time to play his pianos! He's a cutie!

Even though I was raised as a Christian, I don't even really believe in Christianity, so Christmas is more a time for being thankful and making family members and friends happy by giving gifts (which I love to do). I lean more toward the eastern religions, like Buddhism. Though I will take any and all prayers sent my way, Christian, Hindu, Jewish or whatever you are. I really believe in the power of positive thought.

This week I've had more energy than I have had in the past 6 months. I don't know what has gotten into me! I'm not looking forward to starting my new chemo tomorrow. I don't want to lose all this newfound energy! I have been able to walk the malls the past few days and not feel afterwards like my legs were made of cement. I almost feel physically close to the way I felt before I started all this crap. I just hope it continues.

Anyway, wish me luck and slide some more prayers my way if you can! I have to go watch my tape about Xeloda, the drug I am starting. I hope I don't have the freaky red and burning hands and feet side effect that they warned me about. Tomorrow I get the results of my head CT. I will let you know how it all goes.
