..and now for something completely different
I fully intended to provide part 2 of my list of things not to say, but apparently my body has a different opinion. For the majority of my treatment, I have felt generally okay (what’s a little nausea in the balance of the good that the treatment is doing?)! In fact, today I told Dr. Kauh (my oncologist) that I was feeling surprisingly well; that I was expecting to feel worse and that I was pleased that I was feeling as good as I did! Dr. Kauh, who has a dark/odd sense of humor, responded that I should not expect that to continue.
Well, if I believed in such things, I would have to say I must have jinxed myself, as I am feeling pretty crappy today. Whereas last week I could get by with only one or two Compazine tablets, today I have taken at least four. I’m hoping this will pass and is, at least in part, attributable to the roast beef bones that I ate last night. Tomorrow will be better, right?
As a result, I’m going to hold off on writing my list until tomorrow in the hopes that I’ll be more up to the task then. Then again, perhaps this is just an elaborate bait and switch tactic formulated to drive traffic to my site (as I am sure that everyone who read yesterdays post called their friends and told THEM to read, too!). 
Talk to you later, y’all!

Just remember that you’re standing on a planet that’s evolving,
And revolving at 900 miles an hour.
That’s orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it’s reckoned
A sun that is the source of all our power.
THE SUN AND YOU AND ME AND ALL THE STARS THAT WE CAN SEE ARE MOVING AT A MILLION MILES A DAY!
In an outer spiral arm, at 40,000 miles an hour
Of the galaxy we call the Milky Way.
Our galaxy itself contains 100 billion stars;
It’s 100,000 light-years side-to-side.
It bulges in the middle, 16,000 light-years thick,
But out by us it’s just 3000 light-years wide.
We’re 30,000 light-years from galactic central point;
We go round every 200 million years.
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe!
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whiz [Wooo Hooo].
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light you know
Twelve million miles a minute —
AND THAT’S THE FASTEST SPEED THERE IS —
So remember, when you’re feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth.
And pray that there’s intelligent life somewhere up in space
Because there’s bugger all down here on Earth.
