Maybe things will get better after November 3rd?

November 3rd marks the end of daylight savings time ends. The clocks get turned back an hour, and daybreak comes an hour earlier.

I just hope I can make it that long. There's still 14 days to go.

The last couple of weeks have been particularly difficult. All I seem to want to do is sleep. 6 o'clock comes around, and it's still dark outside. So I turn over, bury my head in the pillow, and go right back to sleep. That's never my plan when I go to bed the night before, but it always seems to work out that way. And it doesn't seem to matter what time I go to bed either.

Then on top of everything else, my nose started bleeding this morning. I haven't had a nose bleed in over 3 years, but whenever I do get one, I can't help but think back to 4 years ago when I had to get my nose cauterized and 12 years ago when I had to go to the emergency room.

Fortunately this latest episode wasn't that severe, and I was able to get it stopped relatively quickly. [And won't happen again.]

Oh well, like I always say, such is life, and even if things don't get better, hopefully they won't get any worse.

I thought daylight savings occurred before Halloween. Or my memory is shot! Sorry to hear about the nose bleed. Maybe it's just the dry weather.

It was, but they moved it back [or forward depending on your perspective] another week, supposedly to save energy.

Yeah, the nose bleeds could be due to the dry weather, but that doesn't help if they keep occurring. And are they result of physical exertion? Now I'm afraid to do anything physical for fear I might trigger another episode.

BIG SIGH! :(

History IS repeating itself

I didn't grow up during the rise and fall of Hitler and Nazi Germany, so for me to claim it feels like those are the times we are living in now, must be taken with a grain of salt. But I have seen enough movies, and read enough history to know, if the times we're living in now are not akin to the rise of a Nazism and Facism in Europe in the 1930's and 1940's, then we're not far off. If you can't see the parallels with Nazi Germany, then you must be living in a different country than me. Republicans and other right wing extremists will stop at nothing to subvert the will of the majority, forcing their beliefs, that they are the superior race and have been appointed by God, to impose their will on America, while they blame all our problems on immigrants, blacks and Jews. As I speak, Mitch McConnell, and his minions are raising roadblocks to all legislation designed to help average Americans under the guise of fiscal responsibility. They condone violent and verba...

My concerns reaffirmed today

When I was first diagnosed with MCL, I pretty much read just about everything I could get my hands on, I attended various conferences, and I talked to anyone who would listen. One of the most important lessons I learned, and which I've mentioned numerous times before was No one cares more about you than you. But in addition to that, I learned to fear the drug Doxorubicin , AKA Adriamycin, Doxil, Hydroxydoxorubicin, or more affectionately the Red Devil. Besides being a deadly chemical, as is the case with most chemotherapy drugs, it is one of the few chemotherapy drugs known to cause permanent heart damage. I even heard Dr. Sandra Horning , a noted Stanford lymphoma specialist, state at the first lymphoma conference I attended in LA, there was no evidence Doxorubicin provided any added benefit to chemotherapy protocols. This was music to my ears, since Doxorubicin is very common in most lymphoma treatment protocols. And even though Dr. Horning has since changed her tune [which my sk...

Pet Peeves

Since it's raining today, I didn't have much to do [I couldn't ride my bike], so I thought I'd complain about some of the little things that bug me. I know I'm not supposed to sweat the little things, which I don't [for the most part], but these are so minuscule, I figure they don't really count. One of my biggest complaints are walnuts, or any kind of nuts, in chocolate chip cookies. Nuts have no business in chocolate chip cookies. Chocolate chip cookies are sweet. They're a dessert, and nuts provide an unwanted texture, and flavor that takes away from that. Nuts don't belong in chocolate chip cookies. And come to think about it, nuts don't belong in brownies either, but I don't usually eat brownies (I don't particularly like them), so I don't really care. Still they don't belong. They're OK in Snickers, but that's about it. Another complaint is with people who buy [or rent] a convertible, and then drive around in it with...
