Hair, awards, and good weeks.

This has been a rare week in that it has been filled with so many good things. One right after the other, in fact. Here's a timeline to show it all:

Monday--declared CANCER-FREE
Tuesday--noticed that hair kinda stopped coming out
Wednesday--hair stopped coming out altogether...only a strand here or there. Looks like I'll be keeping it afterall...
Thursday--announced teacher of the month (December) at my school
Friday--announced teacher of the YEAR at my school

Wow, huh?? Who knew you could end such a tough year on some really great things?

I feel I can actually talk about the hair situation since it's finally stopped. I've mentioned recently how superstitious I am. I thought by celebrating my non-hair loss, it would most definitely come out. But now it's stopped. For good. No more potential baldness. Crazy...sometimes it pays to be a freak of nature. I've defied all the odds...everyone (doctors, nurses, wig experts, websites, cancer brochures, etc.) assured me a 100% loss of hair from the Adriamycin. Not just thinning, but gone. Gone like this:

But they were wrong. I've had a couple of the nurses tell me that they've never seen anyone not lose their hair. I guess that gives hope to some of the other Adriamycin victims. :)

Okay...just got done painting the laundry room (with Mom's help) and now it's time for bed. Have lots to do tomorrow. Shelley and Eric will be here next weekend (YEA!!!!) and I must make it cozy and comfortable for my special guests. (Really just need to straighten a few things...)

Thanks and goodnight! :)
