Hello my dear Friends,  I am signing up today for my MCE (Mandatory Continuing Education) course to keep my Real Estate License current.  In the state of Texas you have to do this every two years.  I am going to do this online.  It is $50 more to take it online, but to me it is worth it, because the road I have to take to get there is under construction and I would be stressed before I got there, because of bumper to bumper traffic.  This is quite an expensive deal.  Besides the price of the course, I have to pay the state of Texas $102 for renewal.  I have to do it though.  I don’t want my license to lapse.  I don’t think I am going to do anything with it right now but maybe later on.  It has now been a little over 4 months since my last chemo and I am feeling terrific.  I am getting so many things done around the house.  I am doing all the things that were stressing me out when I was sick and couldn’t do.  I usually can just work a couple of hours before I have to rest, but I am grateful for that.  I am sure my stamina will increase with time.  Rob and Sara are planning to take Christian to the Zoo on Friday and I plan to go with them.  I am going to change my appt. for my mammogram.  I hope the weather holds.  I will try to take lots of pictures and post them.  For those of you still going through chemo, just remember, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.  I have been where you are and made it through.  I empathize with all of you.  I am here at the finish line cheering you on.  So all my “sisters” I wish you a painless day.  Take care and be good you to yourselves.  Love to all of you.  Anita

New Flash. I just signed up for my course and they did not charge me the $50 extra. Thank God for small favors. I think I am going to take it easy tody. Just go to a couple stores. There are tornado warnings all around today. Not Houston so far. I hope it stays that way.

So great to get on here and to hear that you are being so strong and positive.. You have come through so much.. so wonderfully. I feel so proud and blessed to have been here to share your story.. You\'ve inspired and motivated me so many times now and this is still just the beginning..

I\'m turning the corner today and managed to \'really enjoy\' an apple today.. I don\'t ever remember an apple tasting so good.. so all should get better now.. Love, hugs and a huge thank you xxx

I know that feeling of getting more and more energy and motivation to get things done. The fatigue of chemo during and the months after is very frustating. The time is there but you just can\'t seem to do what you want to do. I have felt this way, so I know what you went through and others are still going through. Yes, there is light at theend of the tunnel. I too am cheering you on.

Anita, I hope you have a Wonderful Time at the Zoo with Christian. Can\'t wait to see the pics. Hope your weather is good. And hope that tornado doesn\'t come.

I have my CT scan tomorrow and did my CA 125 test yesterday. I will find out the results next week. It will be good to get some good news, I hope.

Thanks for all the support you have given me and all the comments on my journals. MANY MANY HUGS!

I wish you fantastic results Julie. We have had a few rainy days. The tornados did stay away thank goodness. We had some pretty rough storms overnight. I woke up to a power outage. Went back on about 10 minutes after I woke up. Not too bad. They say the rain may last into tomorrow. So we will have to see about the Zoo.
