#4- invest in a good eyebrow pencil

As I lay here dozing in and out of Benedryl consciousness. Two thing come to mind. Invest in a quality eyebrow pencil. I have found that they make a world of difference when drawing them on. I know... really? $20 for a good one? Yes, it does matter. Eyliner is waxy and you can't feather them as well. I put them on in the morning and I feel feminine again! I love it! And they actually look decent, people can't tell how thin they are!! Cool thing! Feeling good about yourself is not superficial. It makes you smile more and complain less. Life and God are good. Two, sign up for cleaning for a reason. My mom said, "If you are dealt the cards use em". Couldn't agree with her more, and nothing like taking advice from one wise woman!!!! This has been God sent!! I can spend time with the monkeys, making up for the lost month, (AC treatments) without worrying about cleaning!!! And thanks to the Sochas we are getting more cleanings, by-weekly. I feel a calling for doing so

Six!!

So, yesterday was countdown number 6 and the best part was, had chemo in the morning and the pool in the afternoon. Drank water all day and enjoyed my family. Love this.... I think that taking a week off of treatment allowed me to finally feel great again. I saw that I will feel better once this is all done and I am excited to get back to my life. I can absolutely do this!!! I can attribute some of this to my "brain vitamin", as my friends and I call it. After my melt down, my Onc. (short for oncologist;)) put me on some Zoloft to help with the depression that hit me pretty hard. I will probably continue to use it just to maintain positivity, I know it has helped me through the rough patches. Leslie came to visit me today during treatment!! She is sooo supportive and an amazing person in general. She said we need to plan a celebration for each step of the way. "We WILL be celebrating in 5 weeks Kiersten. What do you want to do?" I said, " maybe dinner?" Sh
