Hey, y’all – Happy Monday and Happy Valentine’s Day to all of you who celebrate the Hallmark holiday.  Mano and I don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day but hope you are having a lovely day if you do.

Hopefully, everyone is well rested after the Superbowl yesterday.  I know that I am because I was in bed at 7:30 pm CT last night.  I have had a tough time this week for reasons unknown to me.  I am blaming Brandi,  my wonderful chemo nurse, who I think switched my good steroids for something generic because this weekend I was just dragging my butt and had no energy at all.  JUST KIDDING BRANDI – I know it’s not you.  

I, honestly, think it’s because I am 9 treatments in and the build-up of the chemo is just a lot.  I am still anemic and thus super cold all the time.  I’ve had muscle aches almost nightly and require Tramadol to ease the aching pain so I can sleep and the exhaustion – well, honestly, I don’t even know what to say about that anymore.  I am tired – ALL. THE. TIME.    As I said from the beginning not having the energy I had previously has been one of the hardest things for me to get accustomed to – but I’m trying. 

Therefore, I am going to bed tonight by 8 pm CT tonight so any catching up we need to do, we will do tomorrow.  

Sending out warm hugs and love to you all.  I hope you have a great Monday evening!

Xo,

Tracy
