This has been a nice week. It took me about a week to recover from the chemo and my energy was a little lower, but I can check off another chemo treatment.
I was discussing with Bruce today how unfair it is that with this chemo I have gotten the hair back on my legs, but have lost my eye lashes and eye brows. Now this might not seem like that big of a deal for most, but for me it is a real struggle to create eye brows- It was hard enough to successfully use eye liner for basic application and I'd been doing it for 20 years... I feel like a rookie in the majors (and I never wanted to be drafted).
This weekend my sister took our three boys. Our house has never known such peace and quite. Bruce and I have enjoyed having the time to spend together and having time to do our individual projects. I was also able to go to my mom's new apartment. We had a great time running to Lowe's, going out to dinner, and assembling shelves without reading the instructions.
All is well on the home front. Keep the faith!
love, Jeanel

That leg hair thing is quite the rip-off! I'm glad you had a relaxing week. Luv ya!
Hey, I personally thought the brows were great! Thanks for being my RS chatter ---
Love,
the rude girl on the back row.:)
Ok, that's so wrong! Guess it shows Heavenly Father has a sense of humor.
So is that 1 chemo treatment left? Hope you are feeling stronger soon.
Eye brows overrated-you should have my permanant round bald spot on the top of my head-I told the students that evertime I had to turn around and write on the board that I felt like I was "mooning" them!! OK my joke for the day. Now if you were one of the students of today-you would just tatoo the brows back on!!!!! Keep fighting Jeanel-you are doing great!!!!
Girl, this is right up my alley! Since I have not had eyelashes or eyebrows for about twenty years let me give you a few tips. Stick with brown tones. Don't be tempted to go black or use a color for your eyeliner. Use a tappered brush for your brows not a pencil. If you have time or the energy, go to the MAC make-up counter at Nordstroms tell them the deal (emphasize you want to look natural) and they will hook you up with the what you need. I know it's frustrating at the beginning but you will be a pro soon.
