Feeling better now...

As I hawk up a lugie early in the morning... sorry that wasn't very polite but it's true!
Just going to be rambling for this post, disconnected thoughts running together.
Was working at the fabric store yesterday for only six hours before I started to poop out, given the previous day that wasn't too bad. Knowing what was going on there, I felt kind of bad not being able to help out. (Having a big wig boss walk through so we had a lot of cleaning and straightening to do).
Was up until 11 last night talking to some friends, still only slightly queasy today, totally manageable by eating something like oatmeal. Also need to get a shower before work today.
Oh, the aftershot I get is a white blood cell booster called Nulasta... holy crap that hurt! She did it in the back of my arm and I am going to see if there's a vitamin protocol or something else because that was not good! Under the skin like a tb shot but wow! There was a guy in an infusion chair in front of me that looked over because was saying, 'Ow, ow OWWWW!!!' Amber says the turbo shots she got in the hospital while she was pregnant were like that and 'by the tenth or eleventh' it wasn't so bad... well if I can avoid it at all I'd like to.
Tonight's plan (so far) is to go to Amber's place and watch the kids for an hour or two so they can go have some time away from the babies. She's pumping and nursing so if one of the twins wakes up I can still feed them.
Need to bring over supplies to finish the new bracelets for them because I will definitely get them mixed up.
So, other than that... the effects of chemo are cumulative and may hit me this weekend. We'll have to see. Mostly be fatigue and maybe some nausea, but it's all hit and miss with symptoms for everyone.
Now.. have to get a shower and do some other things on the computer so luckily there's a really cute quote:

"I have been through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened." - Mark Twain

Another one that has nothing to do with anything but is fun nonetheless"

"Amount of glucose used by a human adult brain each day, expressed in M&M's:  250"

And that's a fact, Jack!
