Doing Better Than Some Expected

I have actually worked the three afternoons at my job and really enjoyed it. I was finally some place where I have some semblance of control of what’s happening. I am feeling better than I have for the last six – eight months. One thing I have to say is about one of the guys I work with. This last weekend I wasn’t feeling the best and Jim, who is the nices guys, canceled his vacation and worked for me. He gave a bunch of flimsy excuses, like the weather, the moon wasn’t aligned right, whatever. I know that he did it just for me. You know you are blessed when you have friends like that. Of course they are kidding me about the Yul Brynner from the King and I look at work and the family kids me about looking like Uncle Fester from the Addams Family. I am taking it that they were both outstanding sex symbols of their time.

I still have a few side effects, but you learn to live with those. The nausea is an everyday thing, bad taste in my mouth all the time, is another. I still have some insomnia, I am writing this at 4 AM Thursday morning. One weird one is my finger tips. They are very sensitive and seem to be shriveling & cracking. But everything is manageable.

I am really looking forward to the next few days. It will be the first time in a long time that I am off work, feeling good, and have a day or two of good weather to work in the yard.
