CHEMO II DAY 75

Fight, its the autumn offensive.

Tuesday and I wake to find my partner has gone to real work. A friend has emailed me a link to the Harvard University first semester philosophy course which has been been made available on line. There are twelve of them, so before I get up i watch the first one. Its very good and I plan to watch one each morning before I get up. I get myself up and cook breakfast and toast to be washed down with decaf coffee and my morning meds. So far so good, I’m feeling more human this morning. There are chores to be done after clearing the kitchen. I replace the light bulb in the bathroom and hoover out the dead bodies of wasps from the fitting. The light works and for now that is enough. I move onto preparing the boiler cupboard for the service guy to come later in the day and then move on to replacing light bulbs in the lounge light fitting. More success there, I am on a roll. I refill my drugs wallets for the next two weeks which will take me to the end of cycle three of Chemo II. All I have to to do is remember to have my bloods done on Friday in readiness for my next oncology review on Thursday the 7th and my cancer admin will be under control.

My philosopher friend also emails a link to The Good Place a comedy/philosophy show. From the moment it starts with the main protagonist being told she is dead and come to The Good Place by the “architect” (played by Ted Danson) I am hooked. What follows is many of the classic philosophical problems played out in comedic fashion. It is genius. I am so hooked that I manage to watch the whole of series one before tea time. There are three more series to watch so I have something that I can watch without feeling guilty and also learn stuff along the way. My partner returns from work and we later eat tea. I have some minor admin to do and I also daft the blog before settling down for the rest of the evening. I am out tomorrow at a concert and an over night stay at the venue, so I need to get a good nights sleep to rack up the spoons. Its the Sultans of swing for me.

Shoe shopping can be a tricky business.
