Sleeping Sickness

Good Morning,  it has been surprisingly overcast and humid here in Phoenix the last couple of days.  We had some thunder and lightning, lots of wind, and a scattering of rain.  This usually happens in July and August, not May.  As I would like to blame everything on Chemo, including cellulite, Bad Hair Days (!!), headaches, mood swings, and tiredness,  I could also include the weather...

I have been SO, SO tired since this last treatment.  I can't imagine sleeping through the night after so many naps, but I do.  I went to lunch with my neighbor, Sue, and was walking to the door of the house thinking of bed afterwards.  We went to The Good Egg, which was just right, I was able to order plain eggs and toast and yogurt for lunch, and she could have avocados and bacon and salsa, no problem.  

I seem to have developed a metallic taste in the last few days. (in my mouth, I personally don't taste like metal :-).  It doesn't seem to change the way my food tastes.  Someone asked what I do about that, fortunately I don't  have to take any other medication I just chew lots of gum.   

I haven't been as social this week, just because I have been so tired.  I did manage a walk around the block on Tuesday morning early before it got too hot.  No great stories to tell, the houses still all look the same, no coyotes chasing down ducks, and hardly anyone out at all.  I had plans to be phoning friends, and getting out a bit.  Maybe next week!  

We are looking forward to the weekend.  Dan's brother and sisters and their spouses will all be arriving on Friday for his Dad, Merlyn's, 80th birthday.  Dad has been in the hospital this week following up on some heart concerns, so pray that he will be healthy enough to enjoy some attention and affection and festivities honoring him.   

Dan and I will celebrate our 29th Anniversary this weekend as well!  

I have loved your love and prayers, calls and notes!  I haven't figured out tech enough to know how to respond to posts you make.  I can return emails though (danm58@netzero.net).

Much love,
Carmina Bella
