Nearly there...day 4 complete. Kickin' my butt with fatigue and nausea but as I've been saying: gotta keep on keepin' on.
Which happens to now be my advice to you fellow Nor'easterners as "Winter Storm Nemo" comes our way. Since when did we start naming winter storms like they're Hurricanes? What's next, categories? Personally, I think they should get a little better about predicting what's actually going to happen out there before they get the nerve to name the storm.
Gonna grab some more sleep and hopefully get back to the homestead before the snow, but doubtful. Another snow storm passes without me being at the compound to see it. Perhaps the next blizzard...later everyone.

Battlin' the nausea bug. It's just enough to be annoying rather than gruesome so far, which is good. The docs have decided to be kind enough to consider giving me adult anti-nausea medications, which is really swell of their part given the fact that I'm bigger than most of them.
Chillin' down here at Sloany Ketts. The days don't get shorter that's for sure. Nevertheless, cranking through them. Already on my 3rd radiation treatment woohoo! Okay maybe it's too early to be counting those. Back to the original comment tho, kinda chilly down here. I would be situated right below a vent...
So what's the good word for today? Well, not feeling all too tired considering actually slept pretty well last night. Only up about every 3 hours...what a deal. These meds will continue to knock me out, which is good by me. I love me some sleep.
Here's to a great Wednesday folks. Later.

Day deuce of the cheemin scheemin'. The awful taste in the mouth has already reared its ugly, ugly head. Uncalled for, truly.
Crushed a real solid nap earlier, so my apologies for the late post. It was all too rich, considering the lack of sleep, of course. The nurses got in a fight about who was going to be my nurse today...don't you worry ladies, there's enough Nicky Mo to go around.
Already nearly done with the chemo for today, at which point we'll continue hydration and get some radiation in, why not? Nothing like glowing at night....just kidding I don't glow. Maybe I do. Might be my halo. Beyonce, is it my halo? Good. Good.
Now that a day has passed, any thoughts on the Super Bowl commercials? I thought they were overall lackluster - but the Budweiser Clydesdale and Audi ones definitely duke it out for top prize. But that's just me. Love to hear your thoughts in the comments below...if you can figure out how to leave a comment. Later!

Lame game. Well, actually it got interesting in the second half, but the outcome never really felt in doubt. Good for the Ravens I guess. Bad for us for having to hear about Ray Lewis for the next month.
Currently crushing round 5 of chemo, in a casual manner. Trying to figure out the best position to accept said chemo: bed vs. chair vs. standing (has as much of a shot of winning this battle as that Bar Rafaeli commercial from the Super Bowl has of actually being enjoyed.....bughhh). Scheming about cheeming some may say.
Hanging out down here with some screaming babies, though they've quieted down a bit over the past hour or so. Which is nice. Got my needles in and tubes connected...there's no stopping me now. Lookin' a bit like this. Feeling a bit chilly as well.
Radiation starts today too - these are truly exciting times. But alas, parting is such sweet sorrow...later everyone.

Bowl of Superiority Sunday. Apparently the second biggest eating day of the year, according to Old Man Wrinkles. Brings me back to last year, nice little W over the cheaters...
Getting ready to head back down to the Clown House for the week. Crushing water like it's nobody's business today; they tell you at least 4 liters the day before you start the next cycle of chemo. Holy bloat. Almost as bad as competing in a Beer Olympics (I'm looking at you, residents of 30B). Shout out to my favorite nation, Vatican City, for their bronze medal performance in said Beer Olympics yesterday. A couple more prayers to St. Michael for some help in battle may have done you some good.
Currently having my own little Super Bowl party at the compound before having to leave - the usual: lining up my numbers for boxes, eating some pepperoni and cheese, and bettin' some ponies before round 5 starts tomorrow. Giddy up.
Hope everyone has a great Super Bowl Sunday out there. Enjoy!

So apparently the groundhog didn't see his shadow. Short winter, eh? I could ride that train. The baldness is not conducive to warmth, as one could imagine.
Great visit with the gents, what a crew. Rounding out the last week of the chemo cycle quite nicely. Four full cycles down, three more to go, and radiation on the way. I keep sayin': more than halfway there.
Eating all the good stuff before cruising back in to Sloaney Ketts on Monday. All the even slightly acidic foods go by the wayside starting then, so the half Italian side is really getting the prime treatment with some pasta and marinara action tomorrow. Mezzi Rigatoni as well...simply the best.
Grab a little fresh air, relax, and watch the snow fall this evening everyone (if you're a Nor'easter); I know I will be doing all of the above today. Catch you all later.

Forgive me for my tardiness, truly a whirlwind day.
Went for the walk-through of my radiation treatment today. Quite the time. I hope the various people I mooned had as good of a time as I did mooning them (oops, sort of? Hey you told me the gown's opening goes in the back - you get what you asked for.) Luckily for them, as we all know, I have one heck of a tushion.
Most of the gentlemen of Modular 30B (my former place of residence on Boston College's Main Campus) are currently en route to the compound. What a crew.
Catch you later everybody.
