i have an appointment

yay! after some fooling around i finally have an appointment with my new (hopefully i will like him better than my current onc--not that it would take a lot) oncologist in Raleigh on Jan. 16. i have to figure out plane tickets but otherwise, things are pretty much set.

i'm working some on small handmade christmas gifts. did i say that already? i don't normally quilt at all, and i really wouldn't call it quilting, but i suppose it sort of is. they're gonna be sweet.

the fatigue issue is really rough this week. i've been trying to get plenty of sleep, but if i take a nap then i have trouble sleeping at night, so i'm just tired. a LOT. on the plus side the slight diuretic effect of caffeine is not so bad since i am edema-y. so, more coffee it is!

i'm chilled a lot. the house seems chilly constantly. maybe it's just me. or maybe i need more wool--insulation! right?

my brother Jerry commented on a post earlier, and his comment seemed right on the money: "I've long since decided that most people who claim to be "brutally honest" are mostly using honesty as an excuse to be brutal. Many seem to me dishonestly brutal, routinely exaggerating problems, shortcomings, etc., to get an issue about which they can be "brutally honest"." too true. 


calenders are shipping today, for those who ordered them! i still have a few available for those interested.  shoot me a comment and i'll tell you the details. 


well, the exhaustion has taken over. i'm going to go find a nice warm shawl, and a blanket for me feet, and turn on some mindless tv show that i can pretend to pay attention to, while i doze off.... 'night all!
