4 days of chemo pills left. I am so close to being done with this phase of things. Side effects this time around are worse: the general fatigue, and my whole mouth just feels weird, and I am always have a weird metallic taste, but I can do this. Home stretch. Bring it on Let's fucking go.

I no longer wish to be called a librarian. From now on, I am a loremaster.

Yesterday was my final chemo infusion. I'm not totally done with treatment yet. I have two weeks of pills to go, and the next few days I'll be feeling pretty rough, but damn it felt good to ring that bell.
The finish line is in sight.

Just about one month until I can run again. It's over three months since my last run, and I miss it every day.
In related news, I did not (with my one lottery ticket) get into Western States 100. Thank goodness! 😂

I miss pepperoni pizza so much. It's been like four months (not supposed to have cured meats while on chemo). I think about it pretty constantly at this point.

I honestly have so much to be thankful for this year. I'm still here, still fighting, and I'm so close to being done with this chemo bullshit. Add to that my amazing friends and family supporting me every step of the way, and despite everything I'm going through, I'm an extremely lucky person.

Sometimes I'll see a list of "stocking stuffers" and they'll be like $40 or $50 items. I used to get oranges and Hershey Kisses in my stocking.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you?

Of all the changes made to the Lord of the Rings movies, the one that makes me the saddest is that Bilbo never got back to the Lonely Mountain like he does in the book.

It's amazing how something that is actively saving your life is also capable of making you feel this shitty. Thank you chemo, but also fuck you chemo.

Round three starts today. It's going to be a rough few days, but you know what I'm thinking about right now? How much I fucking love my life. This is so fucking hard, but I love my life so damn much. And this is what I have to do to get back to it.

Yesterday I found out that Darwin from SeaQuest DSV was actually an animatronic puppet and not a real dolphin, and I woke up still thinking about it. Seriously, what the hell?
