Better late than never?

It has been a longggg time since my last post, so sorry about that. So May was a very busy month for me. My Dad's birthday, my birthday, my Mom's birthday, my niece's birthday, my niece's graduation, my Mom & Dad's anniversary, whew!! June was a pretty good month, I went out with friends a couple times, had some lunches with Mom's crew at work, relaxed, went swimming a few times. July we went on vacation to Michigan had a family reunion with Marty's family, his Mom and Dad both turn 80 this year so we all got together to celebrate. It was a great vacation, not to hot, not to cold, went out on the lake in a boat just about everyday, thanks Logan!! I even jumped into the lake one day! After about 30 minutes it was a little too cold for me so I got out and the sun warmed me up. :-) It was a wonderful visit and we were so glad to be able to get together with the family. We were vacationing in Traverse City. MI and they have an annual Cherry Festival there every year. It started the day we were leaving so we went and spent several hours there. Got to see the Blue Angles before we left, lots of fun! August is right around the corner and I think I'm going to start the school year going back to work. I'm hoping with only 2 treatments left I can handle it. My 11th treatment is the first day teachers report back to work, Aug. 4th, so we only have kids a day and a half that week so I'm thinking I can make it through that week. The last treatment is Aug. 18th, my brother's birthday, that will be a full week of school hoping I can make it through that one. Then I'm done with chemo! Yay! It'll be slow going at work and I probably won't be in top form until well into Sept. but I'm gonna try. I need to get back to doing something, mentally and physically, tired of sitting around the house all the time. The only bad thing is that with these final treatments I'm feeling a little weaker and it hits a little harder each time, my sensitivity to cold in my hands and feet is much more noticeable now and my finger tips are getting somewhat numb, but it's almost over! So, looking forward to the upcoming month coming and going so my chemo will be over and hoping to get back to a new sense of normal! Thanks for all your love and support it means more to me than you all will know!!
Love y'all!!
