The last couple of days have been not so good. I seem to have too much energy to sleep- my mind is racing and I want to move around and to do things. My body, however is tired and I just want to lie down. It is a very uncomfortable thing to be REALLY TIRED and antsy at the same time. I am making myself crazy.
My brother Steve came to visit. He lives in Austin and drove down on Saturday to spend some time with us. I am always taken with how much I enjoy his company now that we are both adults. I guess I should stop being surprised any year now. As usual he brought movies. We watched Ghengis Blues, a documentary about a blind blues guy who does Tuvan throat singing and his journey from his home here in the US to Tuva in upper Mongolia. I'd highly recommend it.

We also watched Hard Candy, a film with Ellen Paige which although it was well acted, I wouldn't recommend. I guess I could describe it as: intimate psycho drama/torture porn. It's sort of like "Extremities." Chris, Mom and Steve also watched something else that everyone loved but I slept through. I'll find out later and share...
We went to eat at Gorditas (Steve likes it too) on Saturday and after that I needed a nap. Today Mom and I went to Walgreens for a few things and after that I was exhausted. I am starting to worry about starting school! How am I going to teach my 5 classes a day? As they say: One day at a time. We'll reach that hurdle when it comes. I don't have to worry about losing my job - I know they'll work with me. I'm very blessed there.
This will be a busy week.

Shopping for a recliner?
Tuesday - Trip to the American Cancer Society to get a wig
Wednesday - Appointment with Dr. Markowitz to see if we do 2nd round of Chemo
