I don't see any Prudie posted yesterday but can get them up shortly!

G did great with chemo yesterday, but the steroids are already reaking havoc. It's been 2 doses and he's already suuuuper moody and flying off the handle about stuff. I'm sure we'll have to keep the boys apart for a lot of the weekend. At least it's only 5 days!

Five days of steroids @casadena? Here’s to the best you can do!
I’m in the office on our wfh day.  I upgraded my iphone 11 to the 15.  Woohoo, it lasted 4 years! Since I took Monday to Wednesday off for the holiday, and AT&T said it would be delivered at that time, I had it shipped to the office for safe keeping.  Only to find out, they overnighted it and it’s arriving today! Oh well.  No major loss on the come into the office part. 

Tonight is dinner and trolly ride to look at decorated houses and tomorrow is a haunted house.  Then I head over to the P’s for 4 days.  After this weekend, not sure when I see the boys next.  Sad face.

@CharmedPam yup 5 days of steroids every 3 months with his in office chemo! Toddler roid rage is no joke.

@Casadena, thanks for posting a Friday Prudie!

Fridays are my half day.  My H is meeting me at work to swing by Home Depot when I go home.  But then it occurred to me that we should go out for lunch first!  He's never in this neck of the woods at lunch time, so I'm going to introduce him to a Chinese place with good lunch specials that I have been going to for years.  I'm looking forward to that!  Something unusual and fun compared to my typical weekdays. 

I had a really bad night sleep-wise on Tuesday and it's like it screwed me up for the whole week!  I have been really exhausted every day, even though the rest of my nights have been fine.  I've even been taking naps when I get home from work and then still going to bed at my normal times.  So I'm really hoping I can finally reset this weekend and get back to normal.

More house organization.  I finally have all the pieces and parts for my "home office", aka a corner of my bedroom lol, and I want to get that set up this weekend so I am ready to go on Monday.

It is going to be another FANTASTIC weekend for weather and I'm going to make more of a concerted effort to get my lazy butt outside and take Izzy for multiple walks.  I know my neighbor will be on board to join us.  She came back from vacation earlier this week and I need to catch up with her to see how things went.  She went to an all-inclusive place in MX and one of her excursions was underwater cave snorkeling.  It sounded awesome and I want to live vicariously through her tales, lol.

Edited to add:  If you all are ever planning a trip to New Orleans, please, please heed my words and come in October, lol.  It is the best month out of the year.  It's the driest month and the weather is usually perfect.  March through mid-April aren't too shabby either.

Oh those moody steroids.  Does G get restless?  It wasn't a fun time for Chiquita and I'm glad she only gets the steroid for her infusion and no longer daily.

I want to shake this bug.   I have big plans tomorrow morning with my comforter and pillow and am supremely grateful that there are no soccer games, soccer photos or other event that will prevent me from sleeping in on at least one weekend day.

YES! He's tired all the time but also has trouble sleeping, his body hurts but he'll get huge bursts of energy. He'll eat non-stop too for up to a week after. Just very up and down. The 5 days stints are nothing compared to his first 6 weeks after diagnosis when it was daily. I wondered if Chiquita had to do steroids too, i'm so glad it's not daily for her anymore either!!!!

Exhausted. Had an early Board meeting this morning and have tickets to see Moulin Rouge tonight so I’m trying to squeeze in a nap this afternoon. 

Busy weekend ahead, Halloween events in our town tomorrow and probably a sugar hangover on sunday.

Literally nothing on the agenda this weekend besides some lesson planning and grading, and I'm thrilled.  For some reason last weekend was the Halloween-event-heavy weekend.  
Healthy vibes to G and strong-mama vibes to you @Casadena

Hugs to you!

Yes we had steriods plus omeprazole and iron for the first month.  Now Chiquita takes iron daily and the omeprazole and steroids are done.    We premedicate on infusion day with a tylenol and benadryl and she gets a steroid at the hospital and then snoozes the time away.  Hugs for G.  

A few years ago in our town was a girl who had cancer.  Her parents were public with her battle as she was active in school and had two siblings but she sadly passed.  She would have been a senior in HS this year and our local HS has spirit week.  They devoted "cause" day to her with all the students wearing a T shirt devoted to the charity created in her memory and donations to it.

I'm heading out of town this weekend to see WuTang!!!!  I'm very excited.  My friend is coming over to check on Harley, who will get extra snuggles tonight.  It's my first overnight trip since I've gotten her.

The move at work has started.  It's going fairly smoothly except that there are too many chefs in the kitchen.  I fully expect my work bestie to punch someone and I'm going to laugh when it happens (she won't really, but I know she's dreaming about it).

Otherwise, no big stuff going on, just trying to figure out what to do with myself.
