How to feel better

Today was another red shirt day. I was told that I was looking good, but that despite the good intentions for the peach/orange shirt, I did not look good in that color yesterday.

This morning I had one of the research manager's smoothies. I have not been told what was in it, but I suspect it included every good thing that she has ever thought of.

I played tennis. We played bridge. After a quick lunch, we went shopping and got even more healthy things. I found some really good dark chocolate - no sugar - no milk. I did not notice when we checked out of the store, but magically it did not make it onto the check out conveyor belt. This marks the second time that this kind of thing has happened. I will have to settle for blueberries tonight.

Now, how to feel better.

The first requisite is that you need to have chemo brain.

One of our stops was at Barnes and Noble. As is often the case, I drifted off to the washroom. We finished our purchases and went off on our way home.

At home, I settled in for a short rest, but began to develop a strange feeling. I looked around and could not find my phone. I thought back and became convinced that I had left it in the B & N washroom. Talk about chemo brain! The research manager was on the phone and I interrupted her to tell her where I was going.

She was clearly upset that I might have lost my phone and so was I.

I got to B & N and the store manager produced my phone. I felt better. I called the research manager and told her that I had retrieved my phone and she said that she felt better.

And that, my friends, is how to feel better!
