got me home

Last night I was driving home from my Cancer Transitions/Livestrong class in Fort Collins. I was still pooped and green from chemo.  It was late, I needed coffee. Why oh why is there not a Starbucks in Wellington?

Anyway, a Jerry Jeff Walker song came on my Margaritaville XM station, called The Cape.  The lyrics are wonderful...got me home.

'Cause he’s one of those that knows his life

 Is just a leap of faith 

Gotta' spread your arms and hold your breath 

And always trust your cape.

I love that, "Gotta spread your arms and hold your breath, and always trust your cape."

fatigue

Wow-I had no idea what that really meant...

A tired so deep that no sleep makes it better.  It used to be that I had toddler bedtime only the week after chemo.  Sadly...more and more.  Last night I got home from work, mowed the backyard, made baba ganouj, did dishes, had a glass of wine and could not get to bed fast enough.  It was 8:00!  Good grief!

Pretty soon I will be eating dinner in bed!

hugs,

stable

Thank you for all your positive energy and prayers.
Stable...again...

I know this is good, but I am so pooped.  I am weary of being sick so much.  I think it is worse in the summer.  A limited time and a third of it green...  More daylight, more chores with the addition of the yard, more fun things to go and do, and then here comes chemo again. 
What a whiner!  Thanks for letting me vent.  Luckily, the green pales, my attitude improves, and wine will taste good again.
So, onward!

hugs,
chris
