#171 - Don't Like Getting Back

Back From Michigan

We returned to Texas humidity after 1 week of blissfully cool weather in Michigan.

We headed to long term parking in a crowded shuttle with other weary travelers. I was dreaming of being back in Michigan with beaches, wineries and bikes, when I noticed the woman seated in front of me.
Chemo Curls?

I didn't take a photo, but I recognized those gray curls sprouting from that woman's head. Spotting her hair made me think of 2 things.

 1- I'm so glad I went ahead and touched up my gray.  She looked sad and tired. "Oh please tell me I don't look like that?"

​2- I realized I had not thought of cancer in a week!

I really don't go around thinking about cancer much, anymore.  But usually there's a cancer commercial or a magazine ad that forces me to remember. My week away from TV, newspapers and internet had given me a break from those reminders.

Even the days spent with my brother and his wife had been free of cancer talk. I'm finally at a point where not everyone is asking how I feel, or commenting on my hair growth. 

I hope that sad looking woman with gray curls, was just tired like me. Maybe those weren't chemo curls at all. And hopefully she was thinking of something nice, like the trip she'd just enjoyed.

    ​I can't make it through this cancer thing without venting. So, I'll throw out the things that I'm not happy about.  But since I'm basically a positive person, I might add a few "but at leasts..."  

    UPDATE: It's October 2017. It's been a year since I've completed chemo. My life is not focused on cancer, but I have continued blogging. Cancer will always be a part of my life, but luckily my complaints and concerns are few. I do still have a little fun, venting!
