Chemo almost over, my pump comes out in a few hours. It was easier this time, yesterday I felt pretty good, though today I'm drained and queasy. But the lower dosage did make a meaningful difference. I hope Ill be up and about sooner this time around.

I'm interviewing another art teacher tomorrow, and I hope to find one soon. I'm excited to see what I can do, and have some fun.

I'm about to post a new essay on the companion blog. I got some nice comments on the last one, which encouraged me to write more. I really appreciate thoughts and comments, so if you like one (or hate one), I'd like to hear from you, as a comment or email or text... whatever.

Thanks to all of you for your support and encouragement. I feel like I've hit about mile 5 in this marathon,.and someone just handed me a water bottle.
