Week 3, Day 2

thursday, 29 january 2015

everybody among you who is telling me to take it easy, you're right. i attempted to stick to my thursday agenda -- bridge game, nap, a short evening at work -- and missed the goals for everything except the nap. 

i was slipping off toward sleep well before the bridge game was over and our score -- 44,80% -- probably suffered accordingly. partner dianne bloom, eight years past her bout with cancer, commiserated with the chemo feeling that you just want to let everything slide. 

one thing i let slide is the trip to the pharmacy to pick up the cream for the rash that the gembitamine is giving me. it's gotten redder on my right arm, the one that we left alone this time. that arm aches too. the left arm, which got the IV this week, is ok, aside from its smaller red patches. go figure. something else to be thankful for -- no nausea so far.

an hour in bed revived me enough for an evening at the office, which i hoped would be over by 10:30 p.m., but it wasn't. i was there past 1 a.m. and still didn't get the tuesday reporter's notebook column done, which should have happened because i'll be off sunday night, super bowl night. yes, a three-day weekend. i'm so, so ready for a rest.
