Warmer Temps and Going to the Mall

I'm heading out today. It's a bit warmer at a steamy 21 degrees today. Compared to our frigid negative temps I don't think it's too bad at all! I am going to the mall to buy a dress for a late Christmas party tonight. It's more of a *Holiday* Party but it's for my hubby's work place. I always enjoy myself at these things. It's the first time a lot of these people will have seen me since my diagnosis. We had moved and so after I got sick making the trip back here for the Christmas party was out of the question. I was too sick. I wouldn't have been up to going even if we were closer. He continued working for the same company just at a different location. The main location is where we are now.

Anyway my husband had given them regular e-mail updates. The whole company followed my story pretty much so it will be nice to talk to everyone tonight as a SURVIVOR! They serve a delicious meal usually. It should be a great time!

Who Let the Husky Out?

Well, I did. Yes, last night my dog was pretty much going crazy. She was barking and just wanted out. I couldn't understand why she would possibly want to go out there in negative temperatures. I finally allowed her to go out on a trial basis. She IS a Husky after all but I was still not sure. Sure enough literally in less than 5 minutes she was barking wildly to come back in. So I allowed her to come back and grabbed her water that I had just sat out there with her too. The top of it was already frozen. In 5 minutes it had started to freeze. That is just insane to me! I guess I really shouldn't complain. It is Illinois after all and I did choose to live here. I really have wondered at my mistake for years though. I should have moved to a warm place. I don't think I'd miss snow that much. I might at Christmas but that's it I think. I want white sand beaches and a margarita!

Seriously Cold Weather and Snow Days

I am sure if you watch the news at all you've noticed the Midwest has come under some seriously cold temperatures. Today is -14. That was not with the windchill. With the windchill we were sitting at a very not cozy -35. That is not even human! My husky doesn't seem to mind too much. As a matter of fact we brought her in and she won't quit whining to go back out. I don't really understand that. How could even she possibly want to be out in this? I need to go to the store and run a few errands but really, who goes out in -14 degree weather? I think I'd be frozen solid before I got into the store. School has been canceled 2 days in a row and they have already called off tomorrow. My daughters are loving it. I actually enjoy giving them the news. It makes them so happy that I can't help but take some kind of joy in that. I just caught them playing with the baby's blocks and Yo Gabba Gabba toys and snapped a photo. haha

The Anxiety Has Officially Set In!

Well I realized something today. I am doing it again. It is now January 14th. My appointment is January 22nd. I am now starting to feel every symptom in the book, or at least questioning whether or not I am. I guess the nightmares will probably start again too. I do this every single time yet I don't think about it at first. I realize I am doing it after I have worried myself to death. I always get anxious before my follow ups. The week prior is always the worst. I can tell it gets to my hubby too. I can see it in his eyes. He sort of admitted it to me last night when I flat out asked him if he was getting the jitters yet. He looked at me in such a guilty way that I laughed. Yeah I need prayers, thoughts and words of support right about now! I had a nightmare a couple of appointments ago that the doc came in, took my hubby to another room and told HIM my cancer came back. That one was odd. I haven't had any bad dreams yet. I was warned before I ever finished treatment for my cancer that this would happen. I do take some comfort in that!!
