Just had my fourth round of chemo today. I lost about half of the hair on my head, but what's left is still growing out after being clipped. I just have two more rounds to go through in October.
Deciding to pick up charcoal this fall, I enrolled in a drawing class to support one of my friends and hopefully get her into a healthy hobby. It didn't take long for the teacher to notice the difference in drawing abilities, but he was very nice and supportive towards my friend. The teacher did want me to push my artistic skills a bit more after he saw my drawing, and I really think I should.
The only issue is that I'm probably going to be dealing with the side effects on Monday because I had felt how bad I get four days after chemo. While I want to be able to go to work and give my all, I have a feeling that I'm going to probably feel exhausted.
The last time I decided to do this was at the end of August, and immediately after I returned home, I was absolutely wiped out. I fell asleep until nearly 9 that night, woken up to get something to eat. I went to bed afterwards and slept as much as possible to recover. Tuesday went much better as I easily handled everything like nothing happened the day before.
Then, I am still crocheting blankets. Mom's pretty much banned me from bringing more yarn into the house until I use my stash, though I did receive a bit more from a friend back on Sunday. I plan to use that for personal projects due to the weight difference in the yarn textures.
At some point, I will post my finished creations that I poured a lot of time into because I think I want to prepare myself to make more. I have about three more planned, one I'm going to finish, and hopefully get back to stuffed animals because I have to get things ready for the holidays.
Let's hope I can get the orders done.
