Saturday Blog 14032026.

Happy Pi day to those that celebrate, you math nerds. My day started out early because my bitch sister was up before 7am cleaning the kitchen and making noise. I went pee and then I cuddled with the dog because my niece wasn’t home and she was alone all night. She loves my Red Sox blanket. She immediately went on it when I put it on the bed. I had to be in the fetal position in order to sleep. I was able to sleep about an hour or so. I kept dreaming I was back in the lab dealing with problem samples.

I tried to take the puppy for a walk but she almost hid under the bed when I got leash. I put the leash down so she wouldn’t go under the bed. I brushed my teeth and shaved. No matter what I do I cannot get a close shave under my chin or near my neck. It feels rough.

I went to dinner with my friend from south of Boston that I see a few times a year with her kids. It was good seeing them again. I was sad to learn that she developed another type of breast cancer and because chemo knocked her system around, she can’t treat it until she recovers, which could be months or never. I feel so bad. I wish there was something I could do for her. She gets tired easily and that sucks. She was feeling it after dinner. She got home ok.

The puppy was happy I was home. I changed and been in my room. I had to take my meds because I had I full stomach. I hope my gallbladder doesn’t flare up because I had some cheese. It has been quiet the past few weeks. Hopefully it stays quiet.

I slept poorly last night so I have been snoozing most of the day. I have a knot or something right under my scar on my left side and it feels like someone is poking me in the ribs. I am not in a good mood but I was glad when my sister left for work this morning. She will be gone tomorrow too. I snoozed with the puppy. She rested her head on my leg.

Last night after dinner, I got an anxiety attack with chest pain. I listened to music and took an Ativan. It helped. I weighed myself today and am discouraged to find I only lost like 0.2 lbs. I did a lot of walking this week. Anyway, my pcp is increasing the dose so hopefully that helps. I had a bowl of cereal today. It’s all I wanted to eat. I might have soup for dinner. I don’t really want to eat. I am not that hungry.

Tomorrow I will be meeting a friend for dinner. It’s a cool place in Cambridge. We have been there before. They have awesome steak. It’s a French place. I haven’t seen my friend in more than a year or so. It’s been hard scheduling to meet up.

I have had a headache for most of the day. It is just an annoying kind. I took some more Tylenol. I need to feed the puppy and take my meds soon. I will be taking trazodone tonight so hopefully my tossing and turning is minimal.

I had a difficult time sleeping last night. I was tossing and turning. In between, I had to pee urgently. It was some time before I finally settled down and slept. I don’t remember when I got up but I needed coffee. I went downstairs and brushed my teeth and then made coffee. I played with the pup for a bit while it was brewing. She has claimed my Red Sox blanket and I don’t know when I am going to get it back.

I just had one cup of coffee and some yogurt. I fed the dog and then it was time for me to catch the bus. I really didn’t want to leave the pup but next week is spring break so I have all week to be with her. I went three days to campus this week. My legs and back hurt. I also have nerve pain which my neuro attributes to my increased in activity.

There were more delays on the red line today. I missed my 730 bus again because of it. I had to wait a half hour for the next one. I listened to my music and scared away pigeons that came too close to me. On the street that becomes a mile, I saw a rat. Damn things. It hid under the car as I walked past.

I am so tired. My foot hurts. I had cereal for dinner because all I had today was yogurt. I didn’t really know what else to eat. I showered today and trimmed my beard. I didn’t do a good job. I will have to fix it tomorrow or take it off. I am leaning toward taking it off. I will try to do it tomorrow before therapy. I have another therapy session this week. She offered and I took it. It helps.
