18 Jan 2021 (Morning)

A new day and hopefully better times.  After eating a plant-based pizza last night, my stomach apparently didn't handle well followed by nausea. Had to lay down and didn't wake up until 0300. I did manage to finish my paperwork for Wednesday's appointment.   So, got up thus morning and like the movie Groundhog Day, repeated previous routines from the last few days.  Lots to do today if I find the motivation and energy.  The day is young!  Additional thoughts: today is my grandfather's 107th birthday (my mom's dad), his son (80th), and his grandson (61st) and my brother.  Keeping Martin King Jr., in mind too today (federal holiday).

My view this morning before 0800.

What?!?  I didn't quite understand and said I'm ready for more chemo ... let's kill this thing inside me.  He explained no and that chemo was no longer ne...

Not doing well documenting my journey. Hope I can get fixed. Another day of low 20s 🥶 Decided it was time to bring a bike out with the goal of riding very soon! Too cold and had to bring out the heat lamps on Monday and Tuesday night.  Got down to at least 19°F. Worked a little outside.   Achieved plenty of walking and trainer miles this week.  Now time to rest in preparation for Friday's infusion therapy.  That's all for now. Anxiety creeping in.
