I kept busy all day. It helped to keep my mind off the scary feelings that creep in when you think too much of the seriousness of tomorrow events.
My day was full of crafting mostly. Due to the inspiration of the funny T-shirts I found (and the fact that I don't have a $1000 to spend on a little comical cotton), I decided that I needed to adorn myself with all sorts of fun breast cancer quotes. Using supplies from Kristen's Krafts, I worked up some amazing pins, pocket mirrors and dog tag necklaces. I;m so excited! Thanks KTuck! You're awesome! KTuck also gave me the best advice. We were talking about not getting worked up and depressed about the unknown and things we can't control. She said something like" I found the best way to avoid depression is to keep busy by crafting and exercise." How true is that?? It definitely was helpful in my current situation. And a good excuse to start crafting again. (And maybe even someday Brett's wish will come true and I will do a little exercise as well. Just tell him to not hold his breathe) LOL
So here's a little preview of my amazing new Breast Cancer line of adornment! Aren't they the cutest things EVER! I love them!:
Wish me Luck on my first Chemo tomorrow. Here's crossing our fingers that every thing's all set and it goes well. I'll let you know!
Also, Let it be known that today I start down the Drug Addict Road. Oh lucky me! The day before and the day after each Chemo Treatment, I will be taking a pill form of Dexamenthasone (a steroid) twice a day. Then they also prescribed Prochlorperazine, an anti-nausea pill for after the steroid wears off. Most likely just in time for my birthday! Happy Birthday to me! LOL

I must think about you a lot because you even have a team Shay in my head. I woke up around 11:15 to feed the baby. I must have fallen asleep while nursing because I woke up around 12:15 with him still on the same side but during my midnight cat nap I totally dreamed about today. I don't remember all the details but we were all out to eat ( all the girls and I think we were at a bar???? Lol) and you were giving us all this speach about how Mich you have loved all the gifts,love and support but we could now put the gifts aside and focus more on our prayers etc, etc. It was a pretty good speach. I don't remember all the details because it is the middle of the night but I wanted you yo know that you ARE the woman of my dreams!!!!! Thoughts are (obviously) with you. :)
