Finally a Person again

Friday, August 8. I awakened this morning finally feeling somewhat normal. It only took a week and a day after chemo to feel better. I haven't been eating much but today I had an urge for toast with peanut butter and jam. 

I ended up eating two pieces of toasted Dave's Killer Bread, one with cheese, and the other with almond butter and Mike's Hot Honey. I sort of got it right. It wasn't quite peanut butter and jelly. 

This past week was hard. 

Chemo on Thursday and the shot on Friday, and Saturday I began taking the Claritin and the Tylenol. I think it helped a lot to alleviate the aches I had experienced before. I went out to eat with the Sunday Breakfast Boys, and was fine. 

Then days passed where I wasn't so fine. I kept thinking that this would be  the day I'd go do X that I had planned. Didn't feel like it. Maybe today will be the day? Now I need to do X and Y. Nope, not today either. One day in there somewhere, my tongue began to ache(?), and later I saw it was that white tongue I remembered from last time. It's still sensitive, but it's okay. 

One of the errands I must get to is to go get my travel ID done at the Motor Vehicle Department. I have begun to lose more hair than usual, and I'd like to get that photo retaken while I still have some hair. 

I have a couple of books waiting for me at the library, and three to take back. Those are two of the errands. Another errand is that the DQ is right beside my library, and I sometime treat myself to a mini blizzard. It's very tiny. 😋 I will be doing that, too. 

I'm sleeping pretty well right now. I haven't been setting an alarm, just getting up when I finally feel like I can ambulate. 

I really thought I'd be back at my gym class this past Tuesday and Thursday, but I just couldn't do it. I think I'll be able to make it next week. 

I haven't felt well enough to even produce an update for you all. ❤️
