Monday I attended a workshop called "Look Good, Feel Better," "a public service program serving cancer patients."
Not to be confused with the book, "Looking Pretty, Feeling Fine - Total Beauty for Teens" (May -- do you remember that one from freshman year? I had it here but may have been overzealous in cleaning out and I think I donated it to Goodwill).
And I am feeling so much better than 10 days ago. Walked to work today for the first time in weeks and weeks. It was 68 degrees out when I left this morning! Yoga tonight and more walking. Last night went for a walk and then dinner with a friend. My current self is urging my future self to remember that no matter how bad I feel, Day 13 WILL come and I will feel better again.
Oh - an update on the taste changes. Desperate for caffeine the other day, I tried Pepsi. And I'll be damned if that Pepsi didn't taste much better than Coke. So strange. Probably because it is sweeter. My latest craving has been for mint - especially mint ice cream. Have been having girl scout thin mints, mint oreos, mint aero bars and mint oreo cookies too.
And back to wig for a moment. Today one of the partners in my firm who I haven't seen in weeks complimented me on my new hair style. I smiled and said, "thank you."
