The Tree is Trimmed...

I am very excited to have our tree trimmed! Lauren came home from York University for a few days on Monday (she has one more exam to write on Friday) and so I took the opportunity when we were all home on Monday after dinner to decorate the tree. Doesn't it look fabulous! I will admit that Lauren did most of the work - she had a specific plan in mind, although I'm pretty sure we didn't do a very good job of following her lead...

I hope to finish my Christmas shopping today. I have just a little bit left to do, and than a bit of wrapping to do and I'm done!

I have been participating in a study with the University of Waterloo in the last week or so. I had an interview that took about an hour and a half one day last week. They just asked me questions about my chemo treatments and how I reacted and how it affected my eating habits. They are trying to get a feel for the similarities between all cancer patients (because every person's experience is truly different). From Sunday to Tuesday, I had to track everything I ate throughout the day, and provide measurements for everything. It was kind of like being on Weight Watchers again!! Today they picked up my food journal and gave me a thank you gift (a nice bracelet and a little bit of cash - hello Starbucks!!). They are going to assess my journal and than provide me with information on what nutrients I may be short on...I'm very interested to get this report back. They are also going to provide me with a copy of the whole study when it's done. I'm very curious to see where I fit with the other cancer patients!

I seem to be a little tired this week...so trying to get loads of rest and relax as much as possible!!! Six days and counting to surgery...
