Wow, a week has passed

[wickedwords]

My yuletide story is done, but I am stressing over my 3ships story now. I think I have one or two scenes to write, but I really want to have the draft done Monday so I can send it out for beta. What was I thinking, signing up for two exchanges this year? I'm going to need to push it to get this story done.

In other news, I've had a pretty good week. Last Thursday I kept muttering to myself "and I don't have to do chemo today", which was utterly awesome and amazing. I'm still tired, and my muscles are incredibly tight, such that standing for any length of time or just doing some easy stretches is a chore, but...I am done, done, done with chemo, and I'll manage. Friday I met with the radiation oncologist, and did the planning run plus got my tiny little pinprick tats; I start rads on 12/28, and treatment will run until mid-February. So I get almost a two week break! And it looks like Escapade is a plan, so I made the hotel reservations too.

The big thing for me is that I had the borg implant removed on Monday, which was a joyous event. I opted for the IV sedation, rather than just having a local, and slept the afternoon away after. It occasionally aches, and it will for awhile, but I am so happy to be done with that, just knowing it's gone makes the day better.

I'm really glad you're able to move through your treatment so quickly! May you feel better soon. ::hugs::

Yay for yuletide completion! I finished mine a couple of days ago, and have been feeling mightily pleased with myself.

And yay, too, to continuing successful treatment!

Yay for getting through treatments, and yay for Escapade!

yay for a good week! and the end of chemo. I'm so glad you are coming to Escapade.

Yay, no borg!

I'm thinking the same thing you are -- *two* exchanges? why did *that* sound like a good idea?

I am slammed -- probably working both days this weekend, but I'm going print your 3ships story out before I go home so I can look at it on the bus and then type up comments when I get home.

As I remember, though, it was really close (and *very* cute. (I had those three as one of my options, and I didn't even try; I knew I couldn't do them justice -- but you are hitting them out of the park!)) so don't worry!

Ack -- double parentheticals. I'm going back to work.

I was slammed at work as well. You'd think that with the holidays, and the system being shut down after my contract ends next month that things would be light, but Noooo! I have spent the whole week doing issue investigation, and my brain hurts. I have got little written on my story but I am still hoping that it will be done this weekend.

Yay for Escapade, Yuletide and de-Borging! :)

Congrats on being done with chemo!

Do you know if it was Dr. Spencer Reid who removed your borg implant? I've heard he's good with that kind of thing. Though I've heard he mainly practices surgery on trains.


Congratulations on everything! 2010 looks to be a good year!
