Yesterday I spent the day doing some cleaning/organizing and getting the laundry put away. I took a couple of the kids to the library and then a quick stop at the grocery store. I had a hankering for some pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting so M&M and I made the bars yesterday and then frosted them today. Delicious!!

I didn't sleep great last night for some reason. I wish I could just get a decent night's sleep and not keep waking up 2 or 3 times a night... I had a scout meeting before church this morning and then ended up going to the whole 3 hour block of church - even though I wasn't planning on doing so at first. Right now my immune system is supposed to be at its lowest point so I need to be really careful around people. They say around day 8-14 from my chemo treatment is when my white blood cell count will typically be at its lowest. It's been hard though because that is around the time when I really start feeling better and have more energy and yet I'm supposed to avoid crowds and people that are sick (which is going to be hard as we go into winter/sick season here). I've been battling a headache all day. I'm not sure if it is from the chemo or from not having slept well last night.

I just have a very thin fringe of hair at this point. I still look okay with a hat, but it is looking very thin and wispy. I have a few comb-over type strands on the top of my head and then a little bit on the sides. My kids think it looks like an old man. Unfortunately my scalp is very sensitive with pimple-like bumps on a good portion of it - not very comfortable at all - and it itches...
