Last Nadir Day



Thursdays have been the low point in the way I felt after a chemo session, so today is the final bad Thursday. I really hoped I would see a lot more improvement in my overall condition but I guess that fact it’s not headed south is a good thing.

Throat is somewhat better than yesterday which wouldn’t take much improvement to make me happy. It is as raw as I can ever remember and almost impossible to speak.

Had a ton of issues with the work computer yesterday but with the help of Alan and Alex they fixed me up big time so I have the ability to work remotely once again.  Local computer is a disaster, but I did it to my self, what was I thinking?

I basically performed a frontal lobotomy on my machine and lost everything, what was I thinking? Or maybe why wasn’t I thinking. Oh well, they can’t kill you or put you in jail, then it’s not that serious.

My niece Bella had sent me a note abut the best cake in the world as being something called a  Joy Cake so now I guess she is going to have to bake me a joy cake.  I sure am looking forward to it.

And I finally broke down and did it, yep, wine down the feeding tube.  I was pretty disgusted by o-dark thirty last night, kitchen sink was stopped up, I was done playing plumber and the mess was everywhere. The sink still wasn’t draining all that well but at least it was draining. Then loyal minion arrived hauled his power snake to the roof and got after it, all this after 9 PM.

He cleared the drain and saved the day, now all that is left is the clean up. That is one of the items on the to-do list that I am starting, things I need to do when I feel better/strong enough to do.  Number one item, clean the garage.

2oz of a fine malbec that's just a taste but I was disgusted enough I needed a drink. Anyway it was the symbolism not the actual consumption, and I know you want to know, no, I didn't taste a thing.



Weight today – 204
Blood Pressure – 129/76
Blood Sugar – 192 – got to work on this

  1. so back during space station we had a prototype of the POSIX operating system we were modifying. pretty unstable. the file system was particularly buggy. i did a filelist and noticed a filename sitting in the root ; the file name was *
    so the hindbrain kicked in and said - 'that is a stupid filename, why would the filesystem even allow that character to be an acceptable character in a file name???' so while my hindbrain was talking it told my hands to type in:

    rm *

    and hit enter.

    about 80 milliseconds later the frontal lobes were screaming NO - but it was too late.

    so i'll see your dual boot partitioning screw up and raise you a "rm *".

    i know a guy who is partition wizard. you want to try some remote phone support?
