I just figured I’d get this out there before the impending wedding this weekend. For anyone who’s going to be at the reception and/or the wedding and has kids, I apologize if I seem like I’m avoiding them.

But basically, I kinda am.

You see, right now all of this chemo and cancer is weakening my immune system. And you know how germs love to latch on to the little ones. So my doctor hasn’t banned me outright from being around kids just yet, but he does want me to limit contact with them.

So just please know that while on Friday and/or Saturday you might occasionally see me scooting away from the little ones, I do love all of your kids (in a friendly, non-stalkerly way) and I’m happy to see them. It’s just that for a brief period in my life, I need to see them… over there.

Man, I’m starting to get irregular on my posting already. I’ll do better, I promise.

The past few days have been pretty good, even garnering the comment from my boss “You seem way too energetic to be going through chemo” on a couple of occasions. Today might be another matter. I woke up with the upper back/glass in spinal column pain this morning, plus a post-nasal-drip-sore throat. Oy. Our wedding is next Saturday, and I’d damn well better not have clogged sinuses.

Well, today’s not going so well so far. Woke up at 5, nauseous, pukey and depressed. I’ve taken some of my nausea meds and am going to try going back to bed. I’ll probably give the doc a call a little later today to see what the deal is.

Yesterday wasn’t too bad for me. I’ve been having sore hands, like bruised-sore, but they’re feeling okay today.

Well, back to sleep I go…

And my throat hurts. And my back kinda. Other than that, today is just tired. On that note, I’m going downstairs to make a couple of sandwiches to go with these chips.

Well, it’s been a while since I’ve updated up here, but it’s been for a number of reasons.

1) The weather has taken a turn for the hot and my home office is not equipped for cooling. Nothing like being worn out from chemo and sitting in a hundred degree steambath trying to think of witty things to say.

2) My pain took a turn for the worse this past weekend. Unbelievable nerve-type pain through my upper back, eventually settling in my pelvis and knees. there’s three more days spent bed-ridden.

The past two days have been pretty good, tiredness-wise. Both yesterday and today at work, I’ve felt like I did pre-chemo. Last night when I came home the 125 Outdoor from Hangtown was on, so I sat down on the couch to watch it. Then I laid down. Then I dozed off. I knew about the surprise ending already from RacerX (I usually don’t peek ahead, but I thought OLN wasn’t showing the 125s) so I woke up to slow motion that a few times. Other than that, it was down for the night. I still think I only felt regular after-work tired, though.

Today, it’s up in the air. I’ve felt good through the day, but the night hasn’t started yet. I’m still at work at the moment, but will probably be leaving before too long. Last time I looked, the traffic was insane going towards home, so I might go the other way and pick up my wedding suit. Only time and traffic will tell.

Say… maybe my horrible itching wasn’t caused by Hodgkin’s after all! Look what I found over on Gone and Forgotten today:

While I don’t recall an alien ship crashing a block away from me, that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. After all, I’m fairly sure I have a brown suit. I’m going to look into repressed memory specialists. It’s gotta be easier than chemo.
