My Dear Friends,

Wow, it's chemo day AGAIN! Times sure flies. I'm not as nervous as I was last time. I had spent a week before just dreading the day. This time I went back to enjoying each day as it was. I think this is better.

I feel well. Yesterday I went swimming at a nearby indoor pool with my oldest. Actually did a few laps. It reminded me of when I was on the swim team in high school, young and healthy. For most of the laps, I swam halfway across the crowded section of the pool but later I "shared" a lap lane with a high school girl. She was unclear on the concept of sharing as she caught up and swam right into me once. Made me feel old, but I was done anyway. Stopped when I got heart palpitations. Haven't had that in a while. I used to lie down to stop them so I just floated for a second and they were gone. Took that as my signal to sit on the lounge chair for the remainder of the time. I like that pool because I don't have to bother with all that sunscreen.

My 20 year class reunion is coming up. Spoke to a former swimming teammate who got the ball rolling. Now guess who's in charge of the money! Same thing happened when my kids joined Cub Scouts. I kinda feel like I should take care of it since it's right up my alley. That's OK, I don't mind. :)

Gotta go. Will try to post more often. Thank you for your continued prayers.

Love,
Jeanette
