Blustery Day


I guess it's going to really show us that it is fall. We are supposed to get windy conditions all day with rain from a Noreaster on the coast. The grass will quit growing soon, and all those mower sounds will go away until next year.

I've done my workout for the day and now I'm sitting in our living room near the big windows. I'm sipping earl grey tea since I haven't been able to get back to coffee yet since my last chemo round. My stomach can't handle the acid, I think. I get this weird taste in my mouth from the chemo that doesn't mix well with the taste of coffee. Actually the taste is yucky with or without coffee, but it does go away after 7 to 10 days. And I promise you, it is nothing compared to the bad taste I had from the breast cancer chemo. That one stayed with me for a good 2 months or so after I completed the last treatment. So this one is mild in comparison really. Karen and Freddi sent me a care package in July, and I am still using the Lifesavers to mask the taste. It works.
