Its not as bad as it seems. My friends check in on me daily. 

I use my energy wisely to do some specific exercise and then work on mental pursuits. 

Radiation definately takes  it out of you. I drive myself the 2 hours here and home though. And that alone is a huge improvement over where I was in say January/ Feb. 

I keep meaning to get back to writing on my book.

Its only 4-2
and with nothing else to do
I pen you a poem from my new temporary home

I am in Grants Pass Oregon for 5 days a week
And it's the temp home of which I speak
I put up a Facebook friends looking to hang
but ran into a bunch of dudes who wanted to bang... ah yeah

So I modified my post, made it clear it's karaoke or a meal
and not a come on for sexual appeal
lets be friends hey, well opened it up to ladies too
and bam, I got a slew of... women wanting to date ( and a few who want a sugar mamma... 

So ... My days have been spent reading mostly
And a bit of naps, this radiation is frightening
And I hung out with a local friend for a day
and I am watching webinars to educate my ways

And I am working out to get fit
and I am eating well, home made
last night was salad and shrimp.. scampi (yeah)

And I am only 10 more days in the bug zapper YAHOO
and then its recover my mojo a bit and take stock too

And life begins again in 10.  - Artimus (C) Susan Manley 4/2/2024
