For those of you who are following the blog, I know it's been over a week 'cause I'm back to work now.  I worked a full week last week and a couple of days I even came home and got some things done at home.  Then, Saturday, a committee I've been on at work wanted me to be their guest to take a train to Santa Barbara and while there (at the Fess Parker Double Tree Hotel), they presented me the "Sheriff's Award", which was really an honor.  After the presentation, we had time to walk around before taking the train home.  My friend pushed me around in my wheelchair, but I was still so drained from the 16-hour day, I slept all the next day and all day Monday after I went to work.  YIKES! I need to manage that better 'cause I'm still a little tired today.

I also got sick last night, which I think, has something to do with being 4 days after chemo--I have tracked that as one of the elements when I have gotten sick.  Kelsey was quick with the wet washcloth and we kept it to a minimum.

I had my blood drawn today in prep for chemo this Thursday.  Please pray for me because the effects of the chemo are culminating and taking more out of me when I need more energy to be working.  I appreciate all the love and encouragement in your words, cards, and visits.
