Vorlon Whispers

Time for Bed

Today went well. The client is moving to a completely new system. Users can get a little testy during this process and I saw a little of that today. My contact at the client site, who is a real sweetheart, thought they were being nasty. I’ve worked with nasty in the past and these people were a piece of cake by comparison.

But then I have some of the thickest hide you will find. It’s like a rhinoceros. I really do believe in the adage, “Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me.” As long as people are not physically attacking me, life is good.

I’m rather disappointed with the restaurant in the hotel. I paid $13 for breakfast this morning. It was the cheap breakfast and not all the good. On the way back to the hotel tonight, I passed a diner. I stopped and asked them what time they open up in the morning. They said 6:00 AM. That’s where I’m having breakfast tomorrow.

The Vorlon Wife has put the idea in my contact’s head that I need to eat. They are stuffing me. Someone brought in some home made lasagna for lunch. It was very good. Lasagna is very filling and I had a large slice. Then she took me out to dinner at Chili’s tonight where I had a small steak dinner. I may have a very light breakfast tomorrow morning. I weighed 152 Lbs when I left last night, I would be surprised to find I weight 153 Lbs upon my return.

If I didn’t have my chemo scheduled for Wednesday I would probably stay through Thursday. They’re going to just have to muddle through until I can return next week. After Wednesday of this week I’ll probably be out of commission for the rest of the week – although I can do SOME work remotely.

I feel quite well tonight. I feel better than I want to feel. I’m disappointed that I feel so good. I consider my situation like going to war. In war you try to avoid fair fights. Instead you try to have such overwhelming force of arms that your enemy is completely destroyed. That’s the way I want to fight my war. If I’m feeling this good, then perhaps my oncologist is not being aggressive enough. It is a point I plan on bringing up with him. You can beat my up pretty good, if you can convince me it’ll help. No pain, no gain.
