Good Morning, Possums, from the Celebrity Suite of the Wyndemere Condominiums on Turtle Creek in Dallas, Texas. Today is Tuesday, August 2. It’s going to be a sunny day in Dallas today with a high of 103 degrees.
Happy Birthday to:

It’s Tuesday - the week is clipping along at a good pace so far. Lots to do at work so I am busy there and it’s going by quickly. It’s Tuesday…so is it wrong that I am already planning my weekend or is it simply good time management? It’s also possible I am controlling with a dash of anal-retentiveness thrown in there. Regardless, I have already started planning my weekend.
Most of my friends are going away this weekend to Table Rock Lake. I love Table Rock Lake but it’s not something I really feel comfortable doing. In the future, absolutely, just not right now. That is something I need to work up to. Going on a trip? Yes. I have taken that step and conquered it. But I am not quite ready for this one. I can’t wrap my head around it just yet.
However, I have something else planned that I am completely prepared for: on Saturday, a trip to the Board Room to get my head shaved, my beard trimmed and proceed with the deforestation of my ears (ears waxed - WTH - why doesn’t chemotherapy make that hair fall out)? This will be followed by a trip to Nailed Nail Bar to get my claws shaped and sharpened and my hooves clipped, polished and tended to and my eyebrows shapened… there should be two instead of one.
I imagine all of this will be followed by a nap and catching up on all of the streaming shows I watch. Pampering is exhausting. No, seriously - I am going to be wiped out after all of this!
Sunday - obviously church and then a salt scrub (I’ve got skin older than Methuselah on my legs that I need to get rid of and wearing compression sleeves on my legs from my knees to my ankles all day is awful and it makes them super itchy and dry. My boss said it’s like wearing Spanx on my legs. Either way - it sucks). This will be followed by a facial and a 90-minute massage.
If I do not fall asleep during the massage, this has potential to be followed by a nap as well and then prepping for the week ahead.
And that’s a wrap on the weekend ahead - which I pray will be followed by my next round of chemotherapy. I feel better than I have in a very long time. I attribute that to the chemo. But now I need my body to cooperate and manufacture enough lymphocytes so that I may get that poison pumped into my veins again and beat down my immune system.
My neurologist and I are playing phone-tag. I hope to speak with her today and get another plan set. Having a disease is exhausting and quite time consuming. I don’t recommend it!
Anyhoozle, what are your plans for Terrific Tuesday?
Whatever they may be, I wish you and everyone around you a SPECTACULAR day. Do everything today with kindness in your heart. The world is full of nice people. If you can’t find one, be one!
Peace, Love and Blessings to you all. -AJ
