Day Thirty Six - I did so little I'm not sure what I did

Psalm 31:16

Make Your face to shine upon Your servant;

Save me in Your loving-kindness

I think this is the day that I woke up in the middle of the night and decided that I needed to make sure I went back to sleep.  So I went down stairs, had a glass of hot milk with some Ovaltine in it, then took an Ativan, and went back to bed.  I woke up again at 10:20.  I was shocked.  I never sleep that late.  Then, when I sat up, I spotted a cold bowl of oatmeal and a cold cup of tea left for me by Riley.  Both were delicious.  I sat at my old computer and ate the oatmeal and drank the tea.  Eventually I got dressed and went down stairs, where I think I putzed for hours.  At some point my new scarves - the hajib - were delivered.  I thought about going out, but I didn't.

Maybe this is what life on chemo is going to be like.  Nothing happens.  I hope not.  As a matter of fact I felt sure that something happened at some point.  I just don't know what.  

Isn't that terrible.  My mouth did hurt me terribly today.  Boy have I learned my lesson about spicy things.  I have little sore places all about, and my tongue looks terrible.  I do remember having a delicious lunch of a buttery scrambled  egg  and a piece of bread with butter and vegemite on it. Plus fruit, I'm sure.

Well I do remember that when Riley came home I was already working on an idea for dinner.  He finds it sooo hard to think of things for dinner.  If men only knew how hard it is even for women to think of something for dinner everyday, day in and day out.   So what I had in mind was a soup using a can of organic split pea soup from Trader Joe's and a half a can of organic black beans, drained.  To that we added some organic chicken broth, some brown rice, some of the left-over mjadra, and my left-over dinner from Tuesday - the whole thing.  Then for seasoning I added some cumin and some French tarragon - no pepper!  It was a delicious soup, though I didn't have a lot.  I just have to eat, but I don't have to eat a lot.
