Wednesday is doing her best to nurse my upset stomach. Odds are good that I pass out again. But at least I got enough calories today.

This is the first year I haven't written 50000 words in November. It taking two weeks to correctly diagnose my UTI put a damper on me wanting to write, and I have no writing buddies anymore, anyway.
Plus if I never started, I can't fail. And I did it for 20 years with only one fail.

In 40 minutes, I won't have to worry about work until Dec. 1, which after the year I've had, I really need.

I hope my kid has a minute between finishing this homework and bedtime because I’d love it if she could find that Zoey shirt I made so I can take a picture.

I retrieved my candy! And also scones that I thought went bad when I was in the hospital but look fine? Thank goodness for preservatives, I guess.
Hospital for the first two days (precaution because I’m on chemo and had an infection), yesterday miserable on the couch, today mostly better but a lot of rescheduling appointments 😩 now I’m debating if I have the energy to go get candy (have to get into my power chair to do so.)

Update: Dad has paused cooking because 10 year old is stubborn.
My 10 year old has taken it upon herself to clean out the pantry and I feel so guilty but I just got out of the hospital and her dad is cooking.

I have a headache but I think we fixed my chemo schedule. Unfortunately now I get to have chemo THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS…. FML.

Finally ordered more checks after living here for almost 7 years because the contractor charges a fee for credit cards and as he said, "It's one thing to eat the fee at the corner store, this fee can cost hundreds of extra dollars."

Did I mention that the hospital sent me home with The Good Shit ™️ and I feel bad about it because the worst of the pain is gone now?
I do think if I had to go into the office, I might exacerbate the problem enough that it’d be necessary but I’m good right now.

I am convinced I am allergic to something at the hospital, because 90% of my symptoms that were making me so miserable are gone now that I am home.

They gave me The Good Shit ™️ for my pain, but being the worrier I am, the doc literally had to talk me into it.
(Without getting into what’s wrong with me, I literally cried when I tried to move and the doc was like whyyyy didn’t you say something. It’s because I have always underestimated my pain.)

Only managed the briefest of naps so far but I woke up to two pieces of good news. My insurance company struck a multi-year deal making my current care team still in-network, and I got a book chapter proposal accepted. So if these antibiotics could start clearing stuff up that’d be great.

A CNA who looked like she was about 20 herself thought that I was 25.
I call bullshit but it was nice of her to say?
