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.

Most of the pomegranates? Bad birds!

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....

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