Late at Night Seems to be Best for Me

I'm going to miss my sister when she leaves in the morning, but I'm looking forward to seeing my husband when he arrives - so it's sort of a Catch 22 for me!  I saw the most beautiful woman at the Clinic the other day, she must have been in her later 30s and had no hair but she had not only an incredible head but beautiful face as well, unbelievable!  She was with her husband and was apparently getting chemo for something.  I'm surprised how painless & quick radiation goes - although everyone says I won't see any side effects until probably the end of the second week or beginning of third, so by that time I should be almost through!  I'm really enjoying my support groups, the weekly Tuesday evening one at The Gathering Place is awesome and I finally made it to the monthly breast cancer support group on Mondays which I throughly enjoyed.  I'm surprised I didn't take part in these before, but I think it was a combination of not being ready and I'm not sure we really have support groups like this available in South Florida.  I may have to start my own! 

I saw a really cool portrait at Dewey's Coffee Shop in Shaker Square yesterday.  I've decided to do a self-portrait in that style.  I will probably do it directly on the coated board I bought at Michael's rather than doing it on paper the way the original was done.  I should have taken a picture of it, my memory isn't what it use to be at the moment.  Plus I need to find a photograph I intend to use and then break it down into colorfields the way that one was.  Something for tomorrow!  I think I maight just have to sign off now since I am about to fall back asleep!  This is a good thing, I've quit fighting it, when I feel tired, I rest - I just have to embrace the treatments and whatever side effects they come with and move forward from there!  Life is what it is and accepting it is the fastest most effective way to move forward!  So on that note, I will wish you all sweet dreams and see you tomorrrow!  Good night!
