Despite the time change, I actually managed to sleep until the clock time was normal, and I felt much less depleted today than I had yesterday.  Still, I had a quiet day.  I did a bunch of chores that I’d been too tired to do yesterday, and I had my first shower since Thursday morning.

For breakfast, I had a small amount of salmon left over from Friday night’s dinner.  For lunch, I had a scrambled egg with a little extra egg white.  My sweetie bought me some peanut butter (for an easy protein fix), and I’ve found that putting a little on pieces of pretzel works very well as a snack.  So I’ve eaten pretty well today.

The friends who’d suggested stopping by yesterday called in the morning to say that they were trapped on the other side of town and wouldn’t be able to get here until after the marathon.  (They called again late in the afternoon to say that they still hadn’t reunited with the racers in their party, and would have to drive straight home.)  I did get a call from another out-of-town friend who has a meeting Tuesday afternoon and wondered if she might stop by in the morning.  (She’s a particularly close college friend.  Her daughter is my goddaughter, and I’ve described her as the mother of my children.) I told her I wouldn’t know until then, but that she should call.

I removed a good bit of the dressing over the port.  I’m supposed to let the stenstrips come off by themselves, but I don’t know what the stenstrips are, so I took off some obvious bulky stuff and left it at that.

Tomorrow I have a lot of administrative chores to handle.  They shouldn’t be arduous, but it’s annoying to have so many things on my list.  I also have a meeting at 8pm tomorrow, which is too late for me under normal circumstances.  I don’t know whether I’ll make it.
