Zzzzzz....

If I close my eyes right now, I will fall asleep right here at the computer. I am totally exhausted. The extreme temperatures are not helping at all. My Back to School Night was yesterday and I didn't get home until 8 pm. School events are always so stressful. I have to pick up the kids, then meet Tony at my mom's so we can trade cars. He takes the kids home first, while I rush back to school and eat my dinner before the madness begins. It's always a time crunch. All in all though, I had a wonderful turnout. My new teaching partner gave me a turban that I wore last night and it received a lot of compliments! Something different from the scarves that I've been wearing.

What I'm about to say is so pathetic, I'm embarrassed to admit it. August 14th, our wedding anniversary, came and went without either of us remembering the special occasion. It hit me the next day that we both totally forgot about it. How sad, huh? I had mentioned to Tony a few weeks ago that we should go out to dinner to celebrate, but when the day came, we treated it like any other school night. Dinner. Homework. Baths. Pick out clothes. Sleep. Is it possible that we both have chemo brain???

Taxol #3 is tomorrow. Last week, I got some funky muscle aches, but it went away within a few days. Thank goodness. Oh yeah, my brows and lashes are starting to go...I find lashes in my eyes every time I wash my face now. I knew I should've tattooed my eyebrows before I started chemo. Next time you see me, don't look too closely at my brows. Brow powder doesn't look like real hair.

A message to the BRCA1 gene mutation. @&%* you. I hate everything about you.
