Ellen Updates

Round three of four is tomorrow. Seriously ready to get this one under my belt and be 75% done with part 1 of chemo. The biggest side effect is fatigue so far. I am able to work a full day (maintains my sanity) and then limited energy the rest of the time.

In the accomplishment category, I made veggie Sloppy Joe’s this week: 1) the pandemic killed my interest in cooking, and 2) my tastebuds continue to surprise me – sometime in the week following treatment run of the mill pepper is too spicy. I had no idea how many foods have pepper? 😂

Also, not sure if mentioned in the past, but no raw foods for me. I thought the oncologist meant sushi, but it is allllllllll of the raw foods. For this (kind of) vegetarian, it’s changed my eating habits. And yes, fish, chicken and turkey are a part of my diet. The pandemic made it really hard to find foods I normally cooked, so, here we are.

What else? The animals have learned to use the remote on the adjustable bed. That’s a fun surprise in the middle of the night. 😒

I will try to post tomorrow after treatment and again over the weekend. Here’s to a great end to everyone’s week and fun weekend plans! 😘
