...and I don't feel so bad this time around. I've figured out the secret to surviving chemo. Watch 4 seasons of House, sleep about 14 hours per night, crochet 2 scarves and one afghan. Sit on your butt and try not to do anything at all and it will all be over with sooner than expected. Oh and drink lots and lots of iced tea.
Seriously though, I am feeling much better this time through. It has been hard, but I haven't done much at all for a whole week besides the aforementioned. The mucousititis is pretty much non-existent and I think that iced tea has been helping with that. It is the one drink that I can get down past the slight soreness in my throat. I only slept 12 hours last night and am wide awake already. I think I'm on the downside of treatment finally but I am going to take it easy today too.
This is going to be a great week! My mom and I are going to the Montara hostel on Thursday for a couple of days at the ocean, and then when we get back, I finally meet Chris' mother and sister. They are coming out from New York for a short visit.
I've got tons of stuff to take care of before the Spring semester of school starts, and I think it's about time I start taking care of a few of them. It is just so hard to get things done when I have no energy or motivation while on the chemo. I also still have to get my Christmas tree taken down, but that may have to wait a few more days. It's baby steps for me right now and if I overdo it, I'll be down for a few days.
It's promising to be a beautiful week here in sunny California. Weather is warming up slightly. That always helps with my mood too. Have a wonderful week all!!!
