The photo is of me and Jasper at the zoo in San Diego.Yesterday was chemo day, today was the neulasta shot. This is all getting fairly routine by now. Only one more chemo left now, on the 28th. It’s getting down to the bending end here. I’m so ready for this to be over and to resume real life.
I’ve started the job hunt. I was informed that I wouldn’t have a job past the spring. I put in my first application yesterday. I’ve been reworking my resume, searching job listings, but taking it slowly. It’s not like I’ve got the energy start a new job if it comes up soon. Still, the resume was for a county job and those openings don’t come up very often. The benefits are good, too, and at this point I need good benefits. The listing said that they will use the applications submitted during this opening to fill job positions in the next six to twelve months, so perhaps they won’t interview immediately.
Jasper is back home again now that his run has ended. Gavi’s off to Bellingham to rehearse his band and then play a gig in Seattle. He’s very excited about this gig. It’s with his band The Planets. It was very nice to have both boys under one roof, however briefly. Jasper is planning to leave for San Francisco in a few days. He has some sort of theater project in mind to do there.
I’m thinking of taking a brief trip to San Francisco at the end of March. I had hoped to go to Mexico with my friend, but she couldn’t wait for the end of chemo and is taking off this month instead. I’ll have to content myself with a less exotic destination. I just need some sort of reward at the end of this ordeal, something to look forward to. I’d like to see my friend Wolf, formerly Laura, who has been fixing up his new house in my old neighborhood. Wolf has been very good about calling and staying in touch during my treatment.
So the next couple of days are my nadir. I can feel the veil descending tonight. My face is burning, and it seems as if it’s a reaction to the neulasta. Nausea is starting to set in but can probably be fended off with a pill if I take it soon.
