Ad nauseam

Sunday - a lovely, quiet day of rest. Except that my stomach persists in reverse mode, even after I've had my anti-emetic! It finally settled around 3 pm, I ate very little and I'm afraid of eating. I know that I need to eat, and I am, but I'm hesitant. I'll probably need to learn the best schedule for the meds, so that I can cover off the dose's titration properly. I hope that I can manage to work on the times appropriately. There an 3 more days of treatment, and I have 5 days of medication, so I hope that's enough.

Jerry climbed into my lap after my lay minister left, and stayed there while we caught up on last night's episode of SNL, then he transferred over to . Don for a bit. He's again lap-jumping in hopes of being spoiled, hand-fed snacks and having massages!

I'm beginning to panic and scramble. I had planned a couple of Christmas presents, one of which I need to order, and I'd started working on it. However, we're now past Oct 15, and I'd expected to have sent in my order already! But I still have 2 days' work to complete it! high! I'm so annoyed that I'm not done. It means that everything will slip later than I'd like. It is not critical, but I prefer to clear my to-do list! At this point, either I push through the next few days to send in the order, or I take a more relaxed a and finish it later on. The better, more sensible approach is the latter. We'll see if sense prevents!

I'm falling asleep on myself, so... Good night!

    SNL has its peaks and valleys…is on an upward trajectory of late. The Rami Malek episode was well done.

    My Christmas rum cakes are quietly aging in Le caveau - they're in the dishwasher 😂 (I never use it and the cakes are wrapped in parchment paper and ziplock bags).
    No purchased gifts only comestibles by me/from me this year.

I don’t know how to write this today.  Just yesterday I wrote that my dad was improving and strong; today he passed out, could not be resuscitated and died shortly before 12:30 ECT/EDT.  We are all reeling in shock.  It seems that this morning he woke as usual, had his breakfast, followed his morning routine and then just… stopped.  My sister called for an ambulance which arrived quickly (We’re essentially across the street from the hospital) and they tried reviving him; he was rushed straight in on arrival, where they continued to work on him for over half an hour, but he never revived.  My siblings who were there were texting throughout so that we (in Canada) were kept updated.  They showed us his body after everything was over, and he looks peaceful.  Thankfully, he experienced no pain or discomfort, just fell into unconsciousness.  He’s been moved from the hospital morgue to the funeral home while we try to settle on his final arrangements.  It’s so surreal; he was arguing and prot

First of all, happy Hanukkah to all those celebrating.  I wish your families peace and light in this season of miracles!  The first menorah candles were lit at sunset in City Hall today, and on the Hill, so I add my wishes to all of those.  It was bitterly cold today again, all of -18 when I had to head off to my appointment.  It’s also a record-setting day in Ottawa; we’ve had 59 consecutive hours of snowfall this week and it looks like it wants to try to break that record already.  It was the little fine, driving snow, which blows hard but doesn’t accumulate quickly; it’s dry enough to be brushed off, but the wind makes up for that!  Jerry curled up in my lap, shivering, and wouldn’t move on the way home.  Don was a superstar, taking me to the hospital and waiting… they told me it would be about an hour, but the chemo unit was running a bit late, plus there was all the fun of them saying that they didn’t have my blood work, so lots of excitement.  It worked out well, and I was about

The surprise!

Gee, I look like my mom in this photo.  Although I suppose that I look like her anyway, but it stands out more here.  I’ll get more into this in a minute, I need to fill you in on other stuff.  First off, the weather is busy being Ottawa winter grey and gloomy, so it’s not encouraging in the slightest.  Dark when you wake up, overcast during the day, dark early… no wonder Jerry doesn’t want to be away from people and cuddles!  He’s perfectly happy to sit on a lap and be stroked when he’s not rampaging around playing with his toy!  Don didn’t sleep too well last night; according to him, he ‘missed his cue’ to go to bed and was awake for hours watching… yes, you guessed it!  He napped a little this morning, but I hope he’ll get a better rest tonight.  Although it’s Saturday, and that means… 🏒 and tomorrow is 🏈 so I’ll just dive into a book somewhere. Yesterday I went in to the hospital to do my blood transfusion.  There was a mixup… I got there and called for a porter and a wheelchair,
