Fatigue is the major chemo side effect --- and I've been feeling it this week.
Add to that the fact that they give me a pretty decent dose of steroids with my chemo, to block the allergic reactions -- and the steroids give me insomnia for the weekend...
I need to take today to spend in bed with a cat or two and a book...
So, I'm calling in tired.
So -- so far for Cancer I'll have canceled two whole days of class. Many folks do that for the flu...

I hope you get some good rest, PF!
And tomorrow, you'll be one session closer to being done!
(If you need some help I can lend, give a call! Except grading! NO GRADING! Don't even think it!)
word verification: tesupe: a soup for especially cold days, with all the curative powers of a cup of hot tea and chicken soup.
anything you need?
mr. t. says grade with a fan and a ruller: set the fan towards the stack and then measure how far the papers fly. make up some rationale for the distance.
have a good sleep day. maybe in the sun?
(oh, and good vibes on the earlier issue).
word verification: defitor: the editor that defits the words in the essay so that sense is made.
This is my second day calling in b/c of the RA,fatigue and joint pain and inflamation. I am on steroids too.
I just find it really icky that the steroids result in insomnia -- so, while we're tired, we can't actually sleep... grrr.
