By My Own

Well, I did it...Chemo #5 is over! I just sat and read The Pitch mostly, it was very calm and relaxing. I had done a few on my own last time around and I remembered that it was a good balance to having my cool chemo dates with me...which, don't get me wrong, are awesome too. But some paths you just have to walk down alone from time to time. It's good to know that there's always someone there to walk with you, to stand on the sidelines cheering you on, or that they'll be at the end of the path waiting for you.

The thing about me that is different than most of you reading this is that I live alone and have for a long time. So, most everything I do I do alone anyway. I crave & cherish time by myself just like I crave & cherish time with my family & friends. So going to some chemos alone and some with my family and/or friends is a good combo and just feels normal for me.

Laura, if you're reading this I missed seeing my 'chemo buddies' today. I hope your Mom is doing well, and please let me know how things are going with you. I have added a link on my profile page to my e-mail address, you can write me there when/if you have time. I know that you're probably busy with school and everything else, but please know that you have been in my thoughts.
