December 3

A rough day.  I didn’t enjoy eating dinner last night.  I slept better than usual, and didn’t wake for the day until 5:00 (which is my equivalent of sleeping late).  I felt okay initially, but I couldn’t keep my breakfast down, and I felt pretty tired.  I napped between family phone calls.  My sister, who had chemo for breast cancer some years ago (and has been fine since) said that she found that the infusions grew harder on her as she had more of them, and we wonder whether that’s happening to me.  It’s disappointing after the sense of healthy energy I’ve had the last couple of weeks.

This afternoon I started making some cookies.  First I got out and measured all the ingredients.  Then I took a break (and a short nap).  Then I did the mixing.  The recipe says to chill the dough for at least an hour; I’ll bake them tomorrow.  That was my big activity for the day.

I’ve had very little to eat all day, and I really don’t feel like trying to get anything else down, but I may change my mind later.  (I had a “Boost” this morning and one a little while ago.  It’s easy for me to get it down and is designed to provide nutrition efficiently.)

So that’s today.  I hope to have a little more energy tomorrow.
