My Throat Hurts!

I got my herceptin treatment on Friday and I went home to rest.  I signed up to participate in the Relay for Life event before I realized it was a treatment day.  So, we went at 6:00 for the birthday party with the opening ceremony at 7:00.  I walked 2 laps and was totally exhausted!  I was surprised I was so exhausted.  I thought all my exercising would have made a difference.  5 weeks is a long time, I thought.  I will continue exercising, because I am taking an active part in my life.
While I was out on the track walking my throat started hurting.  It looks a little red.  I hope it isn't strep.
Saturday we went to OKC to pick up my machine from being cleaned and drive across town to trade it in.  Oh my new machine is so cool!  I couldn't wait to get home to use it.  I needed to get a couple of shower gifts made for a shower Sunday afternoon.  I enjoyed sewing so much!
The youth in our church did the service today.  They did a wonderful job.  The music was beautiful and the sermon was heartfelt.  One of the songs was "This Little Light of Mine".  It happened to be the last song at my brother-in-law, T.J.'s memorial service.  The song took me back and it took all my composure to keep from sobbing.  I miss him a lot and often see of things he would enjoy.  He was a kind man and a true example of someone who loved life and the Lord.  He was my hero.  I miss him.
My throat is still hurting, but I am beginning to think it is drainage because my nose has started running and I have a cough.  Maybe in time it will just go away.  I went to school to get a few things organized for tomorrow.  All the copiers were not working again!  How frustrating that is.  I hope they will get fixed early tomorrow.  Four weeks of school left.  It is exciting and scarey.
