Well, I "think" I'm feeling a little better this morning, but I haven't decided yet whether I will try to go in to work - or just work from home. I'm going to wait a little while because yesterday I started out thinking I felt better, too. One thing I did figure out last night is that I'm sick - I mean on top of the chemo side effects, I have come down with a sore throat and cold. For some reason, that immediately made me feel better. I guess because I realize that how icky I have been feeling over the past couple of days is due in part at least to a plain old fashioned cold virus. I am relieved to know that this isn't all the after effects of chemo. Of course, that's there, too. I can't yet tell what my innards are plotting for today. I drank gallons of water last night and was careful what I ate. So maybe the gut will straighten itself out a little today. At any rate, I don't feel great, but I feel more positive. I just took some old fashioned cold medicine. A cold. Wow. Who would have thought plain old cold, on top of chemo, could make you feel so rotten.
I heard that the earthquake in Chile was so strong, it knocked the planet off its axis by 3 inches! As a result, the year is shortened by some minute fraction. A plane of relief workers traveling from Santiago to the area hardest hit crashed and killed all on board. Pictures of children searching for their parents. Older people in the streets. It's hard to complain about a cold, or even chemo side effects. And the people of Haiti are still living outdoors with the rainy season coming.
Can't we get this planet together? Forget governments, big business, armies. Can't people care about each other? Do something?
Peace. Please.
