Well I have completed my 3rd full week of treatment and aside from fatigue and a little stomach rumbling I feel fine.
 I had my hair cut very short last week in anticipation of losing it but aside from feeling very dry it seems to be hanging on.
 Things at the house have been surprisingly calm since the snow and ice closings have ended.
 The biggest issues are over the kitchen as Gabe runs a tight ship and shops daily and I am a stocker of groceries and plan ahead.
 What I like about being here...my room is very comfortable as is my bed. I love to hear the trains in the night. It reminds me of the coal train going to the Indian River Plant.
 I like that the grocery stores sell wine unlike MD and DE. I like the friendliness of the store staff. 
 Now that I have my car I feel free to roam a little as long as I avoid rush hour. The traffic patterns here are very complex and you never know when the lane you are traveling in will change.
 What I miss are my cats, especially Beau and Mouse. I am still hoping to find a way to get Beau down here.
It is also great to have Debbie and Paula as friends nearby. I haven't been very sociable lately but it is due to my fear of the side effects suddenly kicking in.
I've also been unable to plan anything in the Wellness center due to my treatment schedule but that may change this week.
 I feel as though I am living in a state of suspended animation, never knowing what is going to happen next. The sad thing is that I have been in this way for the past few years with Jim's illness and fearing what the next day would present. 
 All i can do is take it one day at a time....
