nothing but complaints

i wake with mild indigestion.
not to worry, it's mild, i essentially ignore it.
okay, it does ache just where i suspect my heart could be. possible heart attack? i doubt it, my heart is well tested.
anyway
... i'm reliably informed thar a heart attack comes with "feelings of doom". nope. i definitely dont have any such feelings.
i just have the doom !

lmao
ive been waiting hours to use (or possibly reuse) that line ;-)

what does annoy me is aching teeth...
a possible side effect of chemo?
it slows down my eating, otherwise no great problem.

i'm hoping its actually aching jaws... from sleeping with tightly clenched teeth.
ive had that, dealt with it, before.
so now i practise sleeping with relaxed jaws.

see... nothing but complaints...
and if that's the worst that i can complain about
... well
... that's  something to be glad about :-)

which is what Pollyanna would say
... in case you ever wonder :-)

Early recce

I wake up from a dream inspired by old SF stories.
The dream ends with a character doing a recce into a nearby village. So I... wake up, get up and recce the front garden :-) Bring in the paper.

Beautiful, cool, Spring morning. Best time of year.

Last night's  headache is even less, perhaps one half on a scale of zero to ten.
Tired, of course, still restless, not worried.

Though I'm getting worse at tracking the days of the week. I mean, who cares?
Only in the garden I notice the bins are out, so today must be Tuesday, bin collection day.
(And swimming lesson day, good)
Ah, of course it is
... I check on my online calendar :-)

Restless

I'm restless.
No clear task to be done.
No emails to be written (yet)
I'd like to read but, no book that I particularly want to read. And reading can be tiring.
 sigh...

My current instructions are:
I'm on reduced dex, half a day? Deb knows.
If I get a headache, increase the dex.
I have a headache, perhaps one on a 1 to 10 scale,
Barely enough to notice but, it exists.
A headache is not a good sign.
Also, my teeth? Gums? Ache. 
Again, mild... but it does slow down my eating.
Deb gives me an extra half dex
If symptoms persist... I'll wake Deb:-)

Meanwhile, I'm restless.
And.a bit worried;_
I have a snack, for something to do.
Back to being restless on the couch.

On the couch

I've spent hours on the couch
... too tired to move
... drifting between crossword, magazine, election plans, good memories, ... and sleeping.
Like a vegetable ... composting :-)

Some thoughts have crystallised.
It's time to document them
... then get up and go to bed!

Not... A walk in the Park

Deb needs a long run, I'm happy to sit and wait in the park :-)

We go to the same Cafe where we met friends yesterday.
Again, no close-by parking.
I can park in the same spot, deb tells me, so you can find your way between car and Cafe...

Umm
Yesterday I followed deb. But by myself...? No

I end up sitting in the sun at our very familiar usual parking spot.
Too far to walk for coffee but... I know exactly where I am. Very reassuring :-)

So I guess I still have ... navigational ... challenges and doubts :-)


Deb runs for 40 minutes or so.
I sit.

A relaxing morning.... for me :-)

Phew!

Deb and I go out to what extends into a long lunch, catching up with friends. Very enjoyable.

Deb returns home to finish cleaning the house.

I return home to
... snooze :-)
Phew !

hemp again

I've decided that I may as well run for parliament, again.
HEMP is now LCA, Legalise Cannabis Australia.

My support is still based on... freedom of choice... and I definitely choose, No.

But why now?

The key contender in churchlands, my electorate, is zempilas.
Aside from his backing by the big WA media conglomerate...
I figure I can compare myself favourably.

Anyway, his party are clowns,  fighting over party leadership...in a party of two:-)
To LCA I explain that I am now past the uncertain possibility that I could suddenly be rushed off to hospital heh :-)
