Technically, this would be the beginning of week three :) I'm happy so far. the only side effect i've noticed is aversion to certain foods. Chicken, pork, beef, I can eat them but slowly or i am nauseous quickly. I also forget to eat and that happened with both chemos. I'm not hungry so i don't eat. Which would make one think you'd lose some weight.. right? not. I have been pushing protein lately. I make a shake in the morning which is: 1 scoop protein powder, some fruit, 1/2 cup whole milk, 1/4 cup oatmeal, 1 tbsp peanutbutter and blend. That usually takes me until lunch.
I have also shown signs of retaining water, even though I take a prescription water pill. So, i'll be talking to my primary care doc about looking into a higher dosage or a different one altogether.
DOC had an all hands meeting today to discuss the government shut down and read off a list of names that they considered essential employees, those who'll have to work even if the shut down happens. Guess who's name was on that list. I'm a secretary... i don't really think my job is essential, especially since I'll be at work, not getting paid, and everyone else in the fed govt will be at home not getting paid. And if congress somehow later decides to pay folks for how many days they had off.. great. but i'd like to be one of those relaxing at home. I'm glad that i'm important enough to not furlough though. Still would have enjoyed those few days off work. LOL especially since I have zero leave.
CFC has started and i signed up for a couple events to raise money. I'm making a vegetarian chili for the chili cookoff, I'm bringing in a dessert for the luncheon and tomorrow is Red, white and blue day.. and i'm gonna be decked out, even the hair. hopefully, someone will take a photo and i can add it. :)
well, my nighttime meds are hitting and i still need to read some of my chapter for sunday's quiz and read newt gingrich's article on profiling and give my input.
fun.
nighty night.
