Was supposed to have a house showing yesterday, til they called and cancelled, but not until all the cleaning and putting away had been done. So, hubby made a no-showings-til-we-relist dictate, to save me from this added stress. And we're not relisting til my chemo's over with. It's nice to have someone to protect you!

And an agent drove some people by on Saturday and another agent wanted to show it Saturday, when she called - funny - give sellers NO time whatsoever to straighten up - yeah right. The house is off the market and they're coming out of the woodwork. The only people we'll allow by are the 2 interested couples who saw it before the listing ended.

Christmas, even this quiet one, which was only DD visiting and some phone calls, was apparently too much for my body. I slept over 2 hours on the loveseat yesterday evening, then another 8.5 hours overnight. My mouth has sores again, gross, I know, mouth corners are cracked, it's getting hard to swallow my vitamins and my muscles ache (this last one comes with each chemo). Pookie just went downtown to pick up my heart pills and the prescription numbing mouth rinse, before going off to his 2 jobs - poor guy - always on the go.

This was how it was with chemo 1, didn't want it back ever, as I couldn't eat for a week. I'm gonna put a mute sign around my neck for when DD comes later to pick up some of this lasagna to take with her, and I'm gonna lie down as much as I can each day to let the bod heal. I'll also make some escarole soup later, so I can get some greens into me.

I was doing really well, apparently as long as I have limited people interaction. Back to quiet days and nights, just me, Pickles, and knitting!
