Yesterday I was bragging all about how, now 40 some days later, I thought that taking a picture a day was getting me somewhere. That it gave me a reason to get up in the morning and how every night before I go to bed I run through in my mind what I want to accomplish for the next day. And that I was learning that if I kept myself focused enough on something else, I could ignore my pain for short periods of time.
Yeah, right.
Not so much today. Actually, not at all today. I went to bed last night not feeling well and not caring about today, woke up not feeling well, and spent the entire day not feeling well.
What did I get done today? I took a shower. I wiped down the counters. I fixed my husband's tie. To quote the late Chris Farley on a Saturday Night Live sketch, "Well, la di fricken da!"
What changed? I've been keeping myself busy doing something every day - maybe my body just needed a break. Last night was my chemotherapy drug night, so it could account for me not feeling so hot. Or it could be that my daughter is right. Don't talk about things going well or you'll jinx them.
This picture of a bus at the salvage yard down the road sums up how I feel today.
sorry that day 43 was not going well. the pic said it all. 43 isnt a good number anyway but 44 or 45 is a very good day. Mom
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you had a bummer of a day :(
ReplyDeleteJust want you to know that I look forward to your daily pictures - although I don't comment very often usually you make me smile. Today's was a classic - perfect image for a rotten day.
Hope tomorrow is better.
I just found your blog -- and I think I have found a place I must visit each day. It would be a good idea for anyone to have a "picture a day". I have some health issues that prevent me from being as focused as I need to; and I'm thinking that might help me. Thank you for opening my eyes today. Hope your day 44 will be much better.
ReplyDeleteEven though you didn't feel well, you still managed to blog and post a picture...that's saying something! Sometimes we all have crappy feeling days, but that just makes the good days feel all that better! Sending you get well wishes from Oregon! :)~Lisa
