life lived in dot points

  • two more radiation treatments to go; I have a mild (and itchy) looks-like-sunburn across a roughly 20cm square running between my armpit and my midline
  • the new medication I'm supposed to start after radiation is back ordered until May. need to contact the specialist on monday
  • general body health alternating between 'ow' and 'fatigue'. but i'm getting some stuff done
  • mental health - struggling with the cognitive load of daily treatments, but mostly chill.
  • i have started the 'reading fiction' part of my project; the first book has a lot of details, but suffers from coming out in 2020 and thus is showing a lot of the pre chatgpt tropes surrounding AI
  • I am knitting a tiny fifth doctor scarf as a decorative item; it is getting less and less accurate to the pattern as I go on. I only have six of the seven colours....
  • reading? not much.
  • walking home from the hospital? did it the once. have not had the spoons since. have been using the cane more than some.
  • other exercise? bugger all.
  • garden: birds have eaten all but one pomegranate. hoping that one gets ripe enough. guava are ~2cm across; I thought i had done a good job of thinning, but nope. have not thinned the feijoa even that much so argh.
  • family: youngest has a job contract signed; to be starting in ?august.

I had the radiation sunburn. Sympathy - not comfortable! But it does go away.

Hoping for the best for you now and going forward.

Sending good thoughts your way on the treatments. (And back-ordered medication? Sheesh!)

Re: knitting, I've recently taken up crochet again, because amigurumi are a thing. Am developing a love/hate relationship with patterns. Leaning very hard on the notion that as long as the end result is cute, I'm fine....

Yay a post; thanks for the update.

Congrats on (by now, or very soon) finishing the radiation part.
