…before you read this one.
I decided to take a long hot bath before bed. Tubs never seem to fit me right. I almost always think of Procrustes when I take a bath. But WTH, I remember taking baths in a square wash tub in the kitchen up until I was 10. Yup; I’m that old. But I was also a lot more limber then.
While soaking and staring at the wall with my feet up on the wall, I noticed the big toe on my right foot doing a little dance number. Just the big toe on the right foot! Now, I don’t know if it was the rumba or the samba, but there it was swaying—OK, more like jerking—back and forth about 1/16th to 1/8th of an inch. And I didn’t even feel it!
That reminded me about pointing out to Nurse Diane today that quite a few small muscles in my body were just a’twitchin’ after hanging a bag of the cancer drugs.
THAT reminded me that I hadn’t had a chance to research the SFX (side effects) of the drugs “which we are about to receive. Amen” So it could have just been the drugs talkin’ earlier.
I had to stop to get my rat poison refilled; they had doubled me up which meant I used it up twice as fast. I’m a big rat. While I was out that way I stopped in at my health food store and “refilled” my IP-6, as well. They gave me a magazine to try and sell me more products. And for me to learn a few things. And I did.
They talked about SAD: seasonal affective disorder. SAD is usually due to a lack of sunlight. And boy, I haven’t been getting’ the sun like I used to. So earlier could be in part due to SAD, as well.
Before I took the swing down, I was out usually several times a day. Even though I try to avoid the sun, I’d usually get a pretty good tan. I realized that I’m so white—how white are you—I’m so white even my AmerIndian and Mexican friends wouldn’t recognize me now.
I ran into a friend from The Sweatshop a few weeks ago and he didn’t recognize me. I thought it was because I didn’t have any hair or a beard. Now, I know why!!!!
Even when working, I’m in and out of the truck getting sun at least on my face and hands all day long. Now, I’m lucky to see the sun. It's still that big bright yellow thing in the sky during the day, right?
And, yes, Amy; I do realize that I would get a lot more sun if I checked into the H. Lee Moffit Cancer Treatment Center. Thank you ahead of time for pointing that out.
So, starting out first thing in the AM, I have three, possibly four, things that I NEED to do to change things. I’ve been way too—what’s the word—“passive?” Yeah, I think passive will do for now. Let the anger motivate you, not consume you!
BTW, I did notice an “I told you so” item of two that I’ll talk about later.
Go to sleep! And sweet dreams!!

I stopped at the post office this morning and sent some sunshine your way. Hopefully it'll get there before the weekend.
The sun is out, and I'm not. I'm still in bed typing away and learning an awful lot about what is going on with me. And I do mean "awful." :-D But thank you for the thought, if not the deed.
But there must be a reason for it, hey? (That was my yooper impression!)
I just need to get out into the sun. It must have warmed up a bit, the ice is off the windows and they're just wet. But, I do have therapy at 1;00 so I'll get out a little.
Speaking of hey, HEY Nettie!! Can I post a pic your latest project over here? It reminds me so much of my grandmother's projects and how I learned to love sleeping in a cold room. Huh, huh, pretty please? Oh, come on! You know you wanna!! :-)
LMAO.....you nut! You're always welcome to post anything I've posted elsewhere. If I didn't want it viewed, I wouldn't put it on the internet.
"If I didn't want it viewed, I wouldn't put it on the internet." Apparently, some people aren't like you.
Actually, there a lot of people not like you, to the detriment of the rest of us.
Thanks for the OK. Expect to see it soon.
