I'm being bad and avoiding writing the paper I told my professor I'd try to have completed by the end of the month. It's like being in undergrad again. I have, however, finally gotten all of my sources together (all like 6 of them lol), so at least that's something. Hopefully I can make myself make some progress tomorrow. The thing only needs to be 4 pages!
I've been less mind-numbingly bored this week. Maybe I'm getting used to not doing anything and my brain is adjusting. I've also gotten out of the house most days this week so that's probably helped too.
More than one of those trips involved buying bras. Since I was hospitalized I've been eschewing bras, first because I was living in a hospital gown and now because the bras I normally wear feel weird with my port. I've been OK with not wearing bras because I'm either at home or I've been wearing trendy button downs since they're comfy and look OK at appointments while giving access to my port. However, with warmer weather coming, I'm probably going to want to wear summer clothes and with air conditioning, things can get a tit bit nipply without a bra of some kind, which makes me feel a little awkward. So, I went to Victoria's Secret while doing a mall walk and was incredibly surprised to see that they had lots of unstructred bras without underwire or padding. I feel like that's like...completely against the law of the land in Victoria's Secret. I tried on a bunch of different styles and found so many comfortable, pretty ones, so in the past few days I've kind of gone nuts and spent too much money on bras. But they're comfortable (and so pretty!) and that's pretty much all that matters right now.
I also have to figure out the whole wearing clothes in summer thing. I'm pretty much a hippie body hair-wise right now. I've been avoiding shaving underarms because I didn't want to mess with my biopsy incision (they took out one of my right axillary lymph nodes) and it would feel awkward to just shave one. And I haven't shaved my legs because it's winter and I don't care. But now, I'm afraid of getting abscesses from ingrown hairs and such. As of now, my immune system is still working fairly normally so it probably shouldn't be an issue, but I should probably ask the nurse what is recommended at my next appointment, which is Tuesday.
Aaron's cousin Keith is a Wiccan minister, so on Monday he, his wife, and another woman from their coven performed a healing ritual on me. I'm not religious or particularly spiritual at this point in time in my life, but I'm not one to turn down something kind that someone offers, be it religious or otherwise. I've been present at a handful of Wiccan ceremonies and some officiated over by Keith and never really felt much of anything but never did any of these things involve his wife, Dawn. She performed quite a few steps in my healing ceremony and I have to say she is an incredibly powerful woman. I could feel a change in the atmosphere whenever she did anything and when they performed reiki on me (a Japanese healing art involving energy work), it was like a physical force. It was a really interesting experience and it was so kind of them to take time out of their day to come by :)
Dinner is almost ready so I'm off to eat! Om nom nom
