Day of rest:)

I called in sick today, last night i decided i really need a full day off with absolutely nothing to do except rest and watch tv:) Thank goodness for RIT's generous sick leave policy, I'm really grateful on days like today. It's the end of the 4th week at RIT, and I've been able to keep up with my schedule so far:)
I'm feeling pretty wiped out, tho, just in general, achy and sore, and the stairs at RIT are killing me! It feels like I'm dragging 500 pounds up them! Oh well, a long weekend will hopefully give me my energy and spirit back!
Eribulin is still my friend, although I noticed that one of my numbers was slightly elevated last week, no longer going down, so it may be that it's not working for me any longer, but I won't find out til November PET scan.
My hair is slowly growing in, very thin tho, and i think i lose as much as grows in! Also, my eyelashes and eyebrows have fallen out as well and aren't growing back yet.  I remember the same thing happened before, and losing my eyebrows really changes my face!  Colleen and I have an appointment Oct 4 to find out about getting my eyebrows permanently tattooed on...sounds expensive but i think worth it to make me feel more comfortable:)
Anyway, just wanted to update that I'm feeling ok in general, just need some rest and I'm going to go take a nap! Thanks to Leslie and Chris for bringing baby Lia into the world last week; there's nothing like holding a brand new baby to give me hope for the future!
Thanks as always for all the prayers and good wishes.  Jen
