I think (but I could be wrong) that we are kind of settling into a 'new normal'. We are through the start of chemo, medication adjustments, other problems, the wedding, visitors, Albuquerque, etc. My plan is to work Mondays thru Wednesdays. During my week off chemo, I will work 5 days if I am up to it. It will be good to have some kind of regular schedule.
I am realistic enough to know that this could all be blown out of the water. My hope is that we have this chance to finish thank-you notes, get caught up on yard work, go to the dog club meeting, play pool, spend time with the 4-legged children, and just relax.
I am thinking about meeting my trainer on Friday afternoons for a light work-out. I feel I am losing some strength. I need to do something on a more regular basis. Easy things I can do at home. I hope she will take me back.
I accept my situation and am making the best of it. A little 'new normal' is all I'm asking for. At least for awhile.

I'm hoping that the new routine does give you some relief. It'll be nice to have you around more--you're missed.
I remember moaning to my mom one day, in the midst of work "stuff" and my son's school "stuff" and my housework "stuff" and all the other "stuff" in my life. (Remember George Carlin's routine about "stuff?" Cracks me up to even think about it.) I practically demanded of her "When are things going to get back to normal around here?!" She smiled sweetly and said, "Maybe this is normal and you just didn't "get" it yet!" Well duh....that sort of made me think. So when you talk about a "New Normal," I think I actually "get" it. I don't think there is a "normal" in life.....I think we and our routines are so constantly changing all the time that "normal" really comes to mean "doable" or perhaps "comfortable" or "this feels right." So I am thankful and grateful that even in the midst of what seems like chaos, you are finding a "normal" that feels comfortable and good. Take care of yourselves. We love you.
