March 2011 Brief Blog

It's the beginning of another non-treatment week. So far it's been a pretty uneventful month; therefore, there hasn't been much to write about. Treatments are progressing as normal and the doctor is happy with my progress (or more to the point the disease's lack thereof). I'm coming out of the treatment week doldrums so my energy level is coming back up and I'm ready to attack the week with renewed vigor. The last two cycles of treatment have blessed me with a new symptom and I end up looking like this guy only bald and on a bad day.

The spring weather has been pretty kind to me and I've been getting out and walking a couple of miles a day. Indy really seems to appreciate the ambulations. The walking also makes me feel less lazy and give me a chance to be by myself and reflect. I usually go while Laela is working or volunteering. Speaking of Laela, her 39th birthday is Wednesday so make sure to wish her a great big ¡Feliz cumpleaƱos! if you get a chance.

If you're friends with me on Facebook, you might have noticed an abundance of reading updates lately. First of all, sorry about that. I've changed my goodreads settings to only update when I start a new book rather than every time I update how many pages I've read. Anyway, rather than watching television I've been reading quite a bit. If interested, check out my goodreads.com page for reviews of the following: We All Fall Down, An American Demon: A Memoir, Across America By Motor-Cycle, Detours: Life, Death and Divorce on the Road to Sturgis, Live to Ride, Sh*t My Dad Says, The Portable Henry Rollins, and a few more.
