Going to A’s soccer game and talking with parents and friends.  Taking a walk in the woods.  Napping with the katz.  Baking a  blueberry pie.  Picking scrumptious sungold and sweet 100 tomatoes from our garden and making pesto out of fresh basil.  Going to the dump with E and giving in to his request to pick up a hot dog on the way home.  Talking on the phone.  OK, so there is some normalcy in my life.

I’m sure B, A and E seeing me Wed night was no fun at all.  They have been incredibly attentive, and willing to give me space as I need.  We all have friends checking in with us, some cautious about calling, dropping of incredible meals, sending cards, giving rides.  We surely could not do this alone.

I’m so interested in this body’s ability to tolerate the substances that were infused on Wednesday.  The past two days I’ve not felt 100%, that’s for sure.  I have gone to my bed when body told me to.  I’ve done breathing exercises to settle my stomach.  Ginger tea, ginger ale, ginger tonic, an occasional drug.   I was nauseous on Wednesday evening.  I’ve been sort of nauseous on and off for the past 3 days.  Nausea sucks and being sort of nauseous is just annoying.

If every day gets better, I’ll be ready to do the jig by Wednesday.  Anyone want to join me?
