Holidays Are Almost Here

My first round of chemo went really well. There are several annoying side effects, like nausea and constipation, but besides that, everything else seems under control. This week, my counts are going to drop, and fatigue sets in easily. I'm just hoping that eating right, and moving around will help fight this state of tiredness.

I admire the work that Caroline has done. She's been so strong throughout this ordeal, and she still manages to juggle her workload as a Masters student at Eastman pursuing a Dual-degree. She's got a lot on her plate. I feel bad sometimes that I have to be going through this challenge. It eats a lot of her time. I know that she'd rather support me, but I know she's got to finish her work too.

The holidays are coming... Thanksgiving is first, and I can't wait for Caroline's turkey! She cooks a great feast, and I'm really excited to chow down on it!

It'll be our first Christmas together as an engaged couple as well. We're going shopping for a tree, a real Christmas tree even if it's only 3 to 4 feet tall. Something small for our apartment would be a nice fit. :)

Even though fatigue sets in easily, I try to get work done. It gets hard sometimes, but I know the work that I do is worth it.
