I could sleep for my country

Yesterday, no word of a lie, I slept easily 20 hours out of 24. Wow. So tired. And I still went to bed on time and slept all night. I had food ready to warm up which was nice...I definitely was run down. ABout a week post chemo I seem to have a few days of utter exhaustion so I'm learning to plan for them so I can just nap and recouperate.
Thankfully, today, I feel quite nice. Yes I am still low energy, but not the marrow sucking, mopey, unable to form sentences sort of tired I was yesterday. Oh yes -Today I have put on pants! Today I have made slow cooker veg chili and tea and am enjoying mental clarity and doing a few little things around the house. I am looking forward to the weekend with J, since he has been working long days all week, and is also tired, so we can have every excuse to relax together on the weekend, watch movies together, eat healthy food and rest up.  I hope you are all having a wonderful day. The cats and I are :)

I read this quote today and it's true: "Cancer makes you tired. Chemo makes you tired. Together they make a tiredness bomb, only one too tired to go off, so it just sort of lays there, fizzling. "
