Still OK

This is kind of weird, like waiting for the other shoe to drop, but so far its still going well. I'm ready for a good night's sleep, since one of the drugs they gave me yesterday was a steroid that kept me wide awake for most of the night. That and the dog and cat climbing the walls after spending all day cooped up at home. I had to go to the local clinic for a shot this afternoon that will boost my white blood cells up, so they can knock them back down again with the next treatment. That went fine too, and I got the dogs out for a decent walk so hopefully we can all settle down tonight. We're going to lock the cat in the basement - he is totally pissed about the weather, which is cold and snowy. He keeps wanting to go out to see if it has changed, which it hasn't. And the forecast for tomorrow and Thursday is for more snow, followed by big winds, so I'm glad we don't have to go far for the Holiday.

  1. I'm happy to hear things went well with the shot. I hope you are able to get some sleep tonight. See you tomorrow. Do you want me to bring you some mice to put in your basement to entertain Indy???

  2. Thinking of you often, Donna. I've heard that chocolate truffles (made with cocoa nibs) are good for you - so indulge in those this holiday season! :) Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, and take care!

  3. Reading, writing, listening, noodling quietly on a guitar, looking out at the snow, making bread... Some things that I do on the occasional sleepless night, things that don't require a lot of energy because I'm tired after all but they pass the time satisfactorily.

    I suppose your treatment invariably will get you wired some nights or maybe even several. The sleep eventually comes, though, so the challenge is figuring out how to fill the interim. What do you do?
