I am using the date for my title because I can't think of anything clever to say.  Today is Monday and I am headed back to work.  I will be in Cass on Monday, Wednesday, Friday opening the office at 7:00 a.m.  This was Chris' schedule and it works well for me too.  I like being in Cass and I find no matter how much time I spend in Centreville, things never get much better - so I will divide my time, and do the best I can.

Fingers and toes still letting me know they are suffering and I expect they will for awhile - maybe a few weeks and/or a few months.  I know sometimes the damage is permanent but I don't anticipate any of that.  My hair is beginning to grow - I found several long ghostly looking white hair when I dried my arm pit yesterday.  May sound weird, but I was kinda excited.  The chemo nurse also told me I may get lots of facial hair for awhile - same ghostly looking hair and suggested I visit the string lady in the Mall who does eyebrows and have her do my face.  I will have to wait on that one - I could pull my own hairs if they came in slow.  I was happy yesterday when I had my ND pink ball cap on and actually had hair showing - although it looked like a man's hair cut - it was still pretty white hair.  It looked great next to the bright pink cap!
