The Henna Experiment: Partie Deux

Yesterday Linda did my hair again, this time with just indigo. It's much better now, thank goodness. I can deal with it until my hair's longer.

I found something to wear for this weekend. On Sunday, my niece Angela and I went shopping. I found a really nice pair of white linen pants and a satiny tropically-colored top. I bought a hat and will bring it along with 2 straw hats I already have and decide there which one looks best. I'd really rather not shop for clothes right now since I'm trying to lose weight, but I wanted something new to wear. Mission accomplished!

My incision from the port removal is coming along nicely. I can remove the steri-strips on Friday. The radiation burns are also healing well. Good stuff. I've been on tamoxifen (which is the generic term, I discovered) for about a week and so far no increase in hot flashes. Hopefully that will continue.

Other than updating everyone here on my continuing recovery, I'm still mulling about what else to write about. It may be just my daily musings, observations, etc. I will do my best to refrain from anything regarding politics, as we know that is often a taboo topic and better left that way, at least in this forum. Hee hee.

I've been reading an excellent biography of Albert Einstein. It's more than 500 pages and will probably take me a long time to read. I'm trying to wrap my tiny chemo brain around the math and physics discussed in the book. Fascinating stuff!

The weather has been warm and sunny, but we need more rain. This afternoon I worked in the back yard pruning trees and hedges. Lots and lots of work to do out there! A little at a time. I'm debating whether or not to apply to the Florida Master Gardener program this summer. I'd love to learn more about horticulture other than the billions of things I've read on my own. Horticulture....hmmmm, reminds me of a Dorothy Parker quote. Best not to quote that here! ;)
