So much for energy...

Today I got out of bed at a reasonably early hour, performed various morning rituals (pills, eyedrops, more pills, read paper while waiting for pills to take effect, make and eat breakfast with (you guessed it) more pills, shower, dress) and made my way to church for the first time in six weeks. I enjoyed the service thoroughly, saw a bunch of friends and took care of some churchly business. Then I gave a friend a ride home and did an errand.

And then I collapsed. I slept for two-plus hours, and would have slept longer except that the phone rang. Yard work will have to wait till tomorrow.

But I did make a delicious soup for supper -- cream of roasted butternut squash soup, garnished with toasted pepitas and blue cheese. We hogged the entire pot, about six cups. I am particularly pleased because I made it up myself -- not squash soup, but the garnishes. \I did the pureeing with my handy stick blender, and there wasn't all that much cream used. Still, I should probably switch to yogurt.

  2. You might be interested in this website, http://www.oncologystat.com/index.html. I've elected to get news about non-Hodgkin lymphoma and breast cancer. Most of the articles won't pertain to your specific case, but they give you a glimpse of what's happening with the research and what questions you might want to ask your doctor(s). Hope you are feeling better and have more energy this week!
