Whatever

I was going to start this blog post with a big list
of complaints. Mostly about the effects of radiation
treatment and how it gives me nausea, fatigue, oh,
and insomnia. What a combo! It also hurts like the
worst sunburn I’ve ever had.
Well, like I said, I came here intending to go on about it, but I’ve already bored myself to death with my bitching, and it hardly seems fair to bore my readers as well.
So all I’ve got today are some odds and ends...
Some readers have asked me to make some philosophical observations about the position I’m in. They want to know about any insights or changes in perspective I may be having now that I know that I am in a life and death situation. It is true that my diagnosis has had an enormous impact on my life. (how couldn’t it?) And I’m happy to share some of the changes it has made in my outlook on things, but I think that will have to wait for another post. It is just too big of a task for today.
I’ve cut my workload about in half. Where I used to see three clients a day, now I see only one or two. I find that by 2 o’clock it feels like I’ve already put in a twelve hour day. I drive home and collapse.
I’ve made a lot of new online friends through this blog. I regularly get email from them daily. I am very bad about getting back to people, so please be patient with me. I am not trying to blow you off. It is more of an embarrassment of riches. It is very hard for me to keep up. I don’t always know who made the last comment or how much time has passed since it was made. This has always been a challenge for me and I find I frequently burn people without meaning to. Please don’t take it personally.
I’ve really been enjoying my time with O and A. They definitely are the highlights of my days. Sunday is A’s birthday, turning six. She simply asked for a single friend and a white cake. “Put XOXO on top,” she said. Okay then. I’m happy to.
And totally out of left field, my children introduced me to the Disney show, Kim Possible. Have you seen this show? It is awesome! I watch it more than the kids do now (there are many episodes on youtube). I am a Kim Possible junkie now. The writing and styling of the show is very good. As a cartoonist, I can tell you that the economy of line used in designing Kim is inspired to say the least.
Okay, I think that’s all I have for you. I better go wake the munchkins.
