Is it spring yet?...

...well, I thought it was - but it's turned quite cool outside today and they're talking about freezing temps the next couple of nights. And I just planted some flower seeds and some marigolds - which, if you knew me, you'd know was not a normal activity for me.

I don't like to garden. I love to "look" at a pretty flower garden, but I don't want to have to actually do it myself. However, the garden fairies are apparently on strike and I needed some stuff planted to keep some fill dirt from washing away - so I put on my "Okay, I'll do it" shirt and got it done.

Isn't it interesting the number of things we enjoy/don't enjoy. I have friends who are great cooks and thoroughly enjoy that. I like to eat - I hate to cook. On the other hand, I love working on websites and most of my friends wouldn't touch that. We're just made differently. It wouldn't work out too well if we all hated doing the same things.

I can't recall if I've mentioned the oral medication I 'must' take for my breast cancer. It's "Arimidex" and the doctor wants me to take it for FIVE YEARS (and I have 4 years and 4 months to go). It can have some debilitating side effects, but I've been blessed not to have any of the bad ones so far. I am, however, having some really annoying ones though. It affects my energy level (as well as the Herceptin), and causes aches and pains.

I do have hair now - though it's quite different. I'd been a red head for eons and always had straight, fine, but thick hair. Well, it's not red and it's not thick. Unfortunately, it's still fine and straight - but is so very thin (SE of Arimidex). I've decided to just try and 'go with it' though and I'm wearing it short and spiked!!!

I cheated with my picture here on the blog. That one was taken in the '90s. I'd consider putting a current one up, but don't want to scare anyone. Just know that I really don't look like that anymore, and a current picture would show how old I really look.

I've got a story to tell about one of my scans, but want to take a photo to go with it, so I'll save it for another day!
