Talk About Feeling Stupid!!!!

When I got home from chemotherapy I did my pranayama, took my supplements and went to bed, I was out for the count. I didn't wake up until 7:00 and my home care nurse would be here at 9:30, I had to hurry. I did my pranayama, cleaned up, got dressed, had breakfast && started making my green drink to take my supplements with; something was niggling around in the back of my mind, not really a conscious thought, but there nonetheless. What was it? I had not quite an hour before the nurse would be here, I needed to hurry, I stopped the green drink and got everything ready for the nurse first, just in case she's early, I opened the blinds by the dining table and resumed getting everything out for my drink. The niggling thought had made it's way to the front of my mind and was forming into a conscious thought, all of a sudden it popped out as a question. Why is it still dark outside, it should have been light almost 2 hours ago? My first thought was what could delay sunrise? Luckily that was just in passing (or I would really worry about myself) then I thought, is it morning? I went to my iPhone looked at the time and saw it was PM, not AM! The good news I hadn't finished my green drink and taken my supplements yet, since I'd just had taken a few hours before, the bad news I was rushing around getting ready for an event that wouldn't take place for 12 hours! I'm not sure why I just assumed it was morning when I woke up rather than that I had just taken a nap as I had intended. When I woke up it never even crossed my mind it was still evening, I must have felt extremely well rested. I did feel foolish! I'll have to start checking AM or PM from now on unless it's clearly light outside! :-)

I feel like my energy is coming back, could be from the steroids in the premeds, but I don't think so, but that would account for a the burst of energy when I woke up around midnight! I even did some yoga, no inverted postures or anything too strenuous, just some leg lifts, the tree and some triangle variations - i figured those would help strengthen my legs, improve my coordination & balance and not bother anything else. I didn't want to do any inverted poses, figured those could be detrimental to the brain, not worth taking a chance. It's 17 degrees today, but the wind has died down so that shouldn't be so bad. The wind is what causes the cold to just cut through you! I'm going to walk over to Dave's Market after the nurse leaves, just to pick up a few things, the weather is so unpredictable I figure when it's nice I need to take care of things because tomorrow might not be an option! Other than that I'm just going to stay inside and keep warm! Well, one other thing I plan to do is trim the hair to an 1/8" see how that works. There will still be a layer of hair to hold in heat, but it'll be shorter and should stick out in all directions around the patches that have fallen out. Otherwise, it's henna tattoos and keeping my fingers crossed the hats hold in enough heat. I wonder if the make silk under hats, like the long underwear they make for skiing - if not I need to add that to the list Kasey and I are making of ideas to research and perhaps pursue! Personally I think that's something there's a market for, especially for women, because a lot of winter hats look great (which is why we buy and wear them) but they aren't very warm, this would solve the problem! I'll google it, if it's out there, google knows! I don't know how we survived before google. I'll bet term papers and reports for school are a piece of cake compared to what we had to go through to research them. Well, actually that's not fair, truth is they probably expect a lot better papers from kids these days because there's so much available information. Everything's relative! Maybe that's why 12 year olds can use Facebook and I still can't figure it out! :-)

Well, I'm going to run, I want to be ready when the nurse arrives considering I was up 12 hours early! It's going to take me awhile to get over that. What was I thinking? I mean come on that's taking punctuality to an extreme :-). Can I count it even though it wasn't intentional? I didn't think so! Oh well! Have a fabulous day!
