Insomnia=Insanity

I'm tired, and I can't sleep, that's the story of my life these days. Just thought I'd check in. I didn't get much response on my last message so I'm not sure who is still reading this (or printing it out), but I'm glad I wrote it.

Everything is going ok here. i can't complain one bit. Just get very worn out at times, but that will change with time. I have appts. coming up so I'll keep you posted on the results. I wish I didn't have any doctor's anymore or any tests, but that won't happen any time soon. It all can get to you after a while.

I've said this before, but recovering and getting "back to life" after cancer is not for the faint hearted, but i guess, neither is going through the treatment I just had! I think the hardest part for me is the constant struggle in my mind regarding being a survivor and all that goes with that, and being a normal, human being and all that goes with that. If that makes any sense??! I mean, I am grateful for everything in my life right now, but it's still a bitch to be stuck in the house because of blizzards or be annoyed that there's no food and I have to go food shopping and I don't want to. You still get annoyed at little things but stop yourself much, much faster, because you know that this life has been given to you as a blessing and you should be grateful for all it's worth.

I get to have Gia-Girl all to myself tomorrow! YEA! She's alot of fun and alot of work for such a little, bitty human being. I'll be beat by 5:30pm :) As I sit here and write to you at 2 am!

Well, have a great day tomorrow, I know I will.
