The 2547602th day of January

 I hear some of you have gotten some snow! 😀 I'm sure it has absolutely nothing to do with me desperately wishing Weather would go elsewhere, haha. Sorry to those of you getting multiple inches in places unused to dealing with any. I'm looking at you, Outer Banks. And Florida. Still chuckling, though, if I'm being honest. Stay warm and safe. I'm sure it'll disappear quickly, whereas we northerners have permafrost. Our driveway has been a mess for weeks, much to Thing Three's delight as he skids down it towards the bus stop in his tennies whilst I'm out there navigating in boots and sticking to the yard as much as possible. I inherited enough OCD to be driven to distraction that we didn't clear it all off first thing and now it's compacted down and iced over and snowed on top of and and and...

Deep breaths and pivot.

My third Taxol infusion is over with. Thing One kept me company and giggling. Nine more to go. Still seem to be tolerating it well. My port worked like a champ this time- thank you, whoever prayed that it would behave- and even though my white blood cell count was still a little low, it was not at a dangerous level and I got the green light to go ahead with chemo. Thanks also for praying I'm staying healthy for all of this! I wore my compression socks again and sucked on my ice chips and have been holding a bag of ice these last two sessions. So far, no neuropathy, so we'll keep doing what we're doing! I absolutely feel like there is less brain fog with this med than with my previous ones, and less nausea, which is wonderful. I feel like my energy level is increasing. Now if we could just get some sunshine, that would be terrific! Keep those prayers coming when you think of me. I appreciate them all!

We didn't really have Weather, but we sure had COLD. There were no classes here Tuesday or Wednesday as the windchills were ridiculous, like negative teens or something, so it was nice having everyone home and staying toasty by our fireplace. Our Christmas tree is still up as it makes such a nice night light and is cheerful when everything outside is frizzering. We will probably take it down this weekend and I'll be a bit glum, but it's time. And no, I'm not keeping it up and decorating it with Valentines!
