Lo and Behold?

After several really sick days, I felt wonderful today. I went to lunch with my home-health crew; since they are not coming here to see me these days, we wanted to catch up on everyone's lives. Don and I went to the mall to get a battery for his favorite watch, and on the way home I noticed that the farmer's market had strawberries! One gallon later, I came home and baked a strawberry shortcake. Then I "jazzied" outside to get the newspaper and it was so beautiful outside that I sat out in the shade to read it. My roses are coming out in front of the house and everything is so deliciously GREEN.

I'm really surprised to be having such a good day so soon after a tough chemo treatment. Since I had been feeling terrible the past two days, I fully expected to hunker down and weather a couple of rough weeks. (Yesterday, I didn't even make it out of my gown or off of the chair except for bathroom trips.) So -- is this a fluke? Or could it be, could it maybe be, that this treatment won't pack the usual side-effect-laden punch? (And if it doesn't, does that mean it isn't working?)

I know, I know: I need to stop questioning it, and just enjoy it!

Strawberries, anyone?
