The Alien Within: 29 – Lazy, Hazy, Hot Daze…
Dogging Tired…
The tiredness of today is probably a combination of various things; late nights, over-sleeping (which takes me an age to recover from when things are normal!), very hot & humid weather oh, and just perhaps the start of slump week…
I absolutely love the heat and you will not hear me complaining, but Benson suffers a bit as he cannot take his coat off. So we tend to walk him on a shorted route for days like today, which tire him out just as much as a normal route on a cooler day. No bad thing, but we do need to careful with him, he is not getting any younger either!
So, we decided to go dogging a little later today, not that it was any cooler, but my attire certainly was…
My taste buds are a bit shot, not completely you understand, but enough to make certain subtle tastes unrecognisable. So stronger tastes are necessary to help keep something alive when I eat and drink, otherwise, like last night’s bubbles, all liquids are a bit like water just now.
The very tips of my finger tips are pretty much permanently tingly numbish, feeling a bit weird and annoying. But the nursing staff at the Day Unit have said it is not bad enough to treat. And, with the likely treatment being a delay to my Chemotherapy regime, I think I would rather suffer the annoyance, such as it is, than disrupt the treatment process. Good decision?
Oh, and I had a new gadge arrive this morning…
Now I have a really shiny bonce and am getting quite used to the low maintenance and even the look now. Plus, my hairless noggin is also becoming acclimatised to being baldy, as I am not feeling the temperature differences so much with each day’s passing. Or is it just because it was damned hot today…
Not only that, but if I ever did choose to wear whatever hair did manGe to re-emerge, the Skull Shaver has a neat attachment to trim my barnet, short, or very short…
So, looking forward, at least I will have a wider choice having experienced the total ‘SkinheD’ look and my previous, already thinning, style; if it can be called a style…
Tomorrow is due to be ever so slightly cooler, with some risk of precipitation, apparently. But, as it will be Belgian GP and it’s Live, I don’t believe I shall be over bothered…
NEXT: Week 4 – Day 7
Oh, I feel for you, as I do actually hate the super hot and humid. 😛 Poor Benson… perhaps you could use your new shaver on him and give him a summer trim! 😀
