Updates

I don't have the energy for a real post today. Updates seem fitting.
 
1. I am feeling slightly better today. Throat is less sore, but I am severely tired. I've had 48 oz of Diet Coke today and zero water. Just trying to keep my peepers open and make it until 5pm. No fever though so hopefully I'm on the mend.

2. PMS has taken over my body. My face looks like a pizza, my tummy looks quite robust, and my energy level is non-existent. I'm so unprepared to run my first 5k next Saturday. I might die....Lord help me. Luckily, the Color Me Rad 5k is more about getting colorfied and less about a winning time. Actually it's not timed at all.
 
3. My mom is going tomorrow for her first chemo treatment. You can read about her lung cancer diagnosis here if you missed it. They went in for surgery to try and remove the spots on her lung, but found that due to their location they were inoperable. They have decided to go a chemo treatment route instead. We will know more about how aggressive the schedule will be after tomorrow. Thank you for your prayers, they really do help! I heart you all!
 
4. My wedding dress has been officially ordered! Now the countdown begins until February when the gorgeous thing comes in.

5. I'm in love with a stripper.


Oh wait, that's just the song that's been stuck in my head all day for no apparent reason. You're welcome.
