Variety of Things

The month is disappearing fast. Just over a week

and school starts again.

Last week I started to take some art classes.

For the fall I will be taking One Stroke Painting,

Basic Drawing and Painting for Adults and

Wilton Cake Decorating.

I figure I can't work, so I should take some

classes, accumulate art projects and heh, perhaps

set up an etsy shop!

I had one on one time with Ana, Andrew and

Maria this month. I took Ana bowling, Andrew

to play mini-golf and Maria and I explored

the local bike path on foot.

One weekend I had Ana, Andrew and Joseph

and Joseph made his First Communion.

That was a special day.

This week I have all the children and my mother

is visiting. I stayed up late with my oldest

Teresa last night having a heart to heart talk.

We laughed like school girls.

This afternoon we are going to visit the

American Textile Museum. On Wednesday

night I took my mom to my One Stroke

Painting class and we painted wildflowers.

My friend Mary Sue has been taking me

mainly to my chemo treatments on Thursdays.

She lives in Leominster, MA. So, I'm very grateful

to her commitment to drive an hour to

spend the day with me at chemotherapy.

This last month I have been extra tired

but the last few days it seems the vitamins

I have been taking have finally reached their

accumulative effect and I have energy again!

At my doctor appointment yesterday we went

over a CAT scan I had on Tuesday. The cancer

is shrinking in my breast but there was

a question about my liver. So, next week

I'm going for a PET scan to get more detail.
