Ow (Radio Remix)

I am so uncomfortable. The overall body soreness/pummeling feeling seems to have ebbed a little quicker than last time - though it's not gone. I'm exhausted and just . . . uncomfortable. Not in pain too much (tho a bit in the lower back), but still . . . can't get comfortable. The ride home on the metro was fun today. Stupid metro was backed up - I passed on my first train, but the second was just as packed. I didn't feel like waiting another 5 minutes, so I took it. Now I'm home being uncomforable. And itchy. My feet have started itching. Sigh. Not as badly as my hands were last week, but maybe that's just because I've (thus far) been able to resist scratching. I'm really hoping it's just the power of suggestion, and not actual neuropathy in my feet. Fingers crossed! My hands have had about the same level of itching for the past 5 or 6 days or so. It would be nice for it to go away. Stupid neuropathy. I'm not even sure I'm spelling that right. Ah. I am.

Well, I plan on eating dinner (mac & cheese I made yesterday), and then maybe going to bed. My plan would be perfect if it weren't for that big pile of clothes waiting to be folded on my bed . . . .

I am so tired

I've never been so tired. The cold is on the way out (finally), but I just can't seem to catch up on sleep.



Can't you see I'm pooped? God, I can't wait for the weekend. And yet I know it'll be over almost as soon as it starts. Which makes me even more tired for next week. God, what a vicious cycle.

Oh, and my hair is still falling out. I guess one of these days it'll be about done. Probably around the time I'm done with chemo. Apparently your hair doesn't fall out all at once. Some of it falls out with the first round, then some more with the second round, and so on & so forth. And what's really annoying is that some of it is still growing. So I have a few random long hairs in the midst of all this stubble. I make the mistake this morning of vigorously rubbing my head with the towel after getting out of the shower. Then I went to dry off my arms and ewwww. Stubble! All over my arms! Bleah. I really need to clean-shave my head so I don't have all these short bits all over me. It's kind of gross in the sink, and really gross all over my body after a shower. Yuck! And I think my eyelashes are getting thin. I'm going to have to buy some falsies soon. My eyebrows are tenacious, though! Not that there was ever any doubt. Hooray, brows!
