Big UPS to all my Luvas!

Thanks for the slippers Kym

Just got home from church/football Sunday food shopping (I may be down, but I'm not out) and I  feel the need for a Mass shout out.

 <insert visual of Boob Chica, holding boob Oscar, in Oscar speech voice here>

I'd like to kick a shout out to all my supporters out there! Javi, Mom/Dad, Patty, Mita (my mean lips sister), Richie Rich aka Goldie Loc aka Great White Hope, Kym, Angelique, Akon, my Prince of Peace Catholic Church family, my coworkers, Shelbs, Lori (the survivor), The Ku Family, the Aleman-Ward Family, Fr. Tom, Fr. Marco, and anyone else that I may have forgotten or I don't even know that's out there in my corner. I am extremely grateful for your well wishes, prayers, thoughts, cards, donations, etc, etc, etc. Fr. Tom was notified of my biopsy and prayed with me and I let Fr. Marco (please check him out, he's so AWESOME and he's young :) in on the results and he anointed me this morning. For all you Catholics out there, it's called the Anointing of the Sick, made me feel strongaaaaa!

Not bad for 3 days post chemo, but who am
I kidding...this shit is embarrassing!

     We went to 8AM Mass (which in itself is an act of God), didn't want to run into my kiddos (I'm a children's catechist....don't look so surprised and I know they have been missing me!), and answer questions. My group this year is the most inquisitive EVA and rather than just sit there and go over the usual catechism, I take time out to answer their questions. I get so many good ones from "Who goes up and who goes down," to "What is leprosy?" I'm the kind of gal who likes to stop what she's doing and just answer them. It's the most enjoyable! Kids should always be the ones to drive learning. Anyways, I'm trying to avoid out of areas with a lot of people, trying to stay as healthy as possible. My days have been good and bad. Yesterday was the best day yet! I woke up feeling a little better than ok so I took full advantage.

I worked out

He's FIRED! He is too cute to
work out anyways!

Before you start hatin' (LOL) I talked to my doctor and she said that working out was fine, just NOT in a gym (where all the germs live). I had been on week 4/5ish of Couch to 5k two weeks ago and kicking some serious ass. I simply started over at week 1 day 1 to start slow. I was going to go with my friend Celi, but was worried that I would embarrass myself, start puking, etc. I have a rep to maintain, don't want my street cred to vanish! It was HARD, man that fatigue had me by the proverbial balls, but I made it. My partner on the other hand, who has been fired, held me back at the very end. I'm trying to do it three days a week... trying. After the workout I felt good.....then bad....then fatigued like a mofo, then fine as I talked it up with Kym. I was even down for seeing UFC GSP (OOOOOOO CAAAANADDAAA), but then the meh feeling came back. Javi gets so worried. I think he's worried about me being out and then puking everywhere! Poor thing lol. We ended up just staying home and watching Monsters University. Cute movie.

My new margarita!

So how chemo works (for those of you that don't know) is that it basically kills errythang. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Most people when they think of chemo they think of hair loss and puking. As I talked about in my previous post, it's a whole lot of poop too! LOL. The burning, unfortunately, has not subsided. Just call me Katniss Everdine THE GIRL ON FIRE! I expect to feel the pukey/poopy/nausea for the next couple of days, but it is evident now that fatigue is definitely the hardest side effect of all. As my doctor said, you'll start to feel better right before your next session! I appreciate her honestly, but what a bitch ass thing to say lol! I am tired, yet cannot sleep, it's really not my fav. My poor gums are sore, I try to rinse with diluted mouth wash a couple of times a day to help out. Other than that, I'm ok. Still have my sense of humor. OMG speaking of humor BIG UPS to the mayor of Toronto for crack(ing) me up. He's a hotter mess than me right now! Bwahahaha, I've got plenty to eat at home, ol inappropriate ass! As for my eating, it is touch and go. The green smoothies are cool and taste ok (lesbihonest, it's not Jamba Juice). I craved chocolate so bad the other day, had a small piece and felt disgusting! I had my mom chop up lemon and half of a ginger and put it in one of those huge vats of water. The water with infused ginger and lemon REALLY DID and has helped me with my nausea. Forget pills and just stick to ginger fellow pink ribbon ladies!

Well, that's really it from here. Gearing up for football Sunday here! GO COWBOYS! lol, I kid, we are on a bye...no disappointments in Dallas today :) Thanks for everything!
