Sunday, 11/28 -- It's only stubble now, but it's a start.

I'm doing pretty well right now. I've been working around the house doing jobs that don't require heavy lifting: laundry, cooking dinner, stuff like that. It feels good to be more than a part of the couch. I was beginning to set down roots.

Lyn and I went for a short walk around the neighborhood this afternoon. Not very far, but it was plenty for me. I need to keep building my strength, so I have to find excuses to get up and move. Maybe with the weather turning so cold I can drive to the Springfield Mall and walk around there a few times.

If I did go to the mall, I'd have to steer clear of the food court. I find just looking at fast food revolting. Chick Filet, McDonaldz, Burger Kong, Pizza Hutt, Sbarro, Wendies and even my beloved Taco Belt. All of them sell garbage.

It's funny how disgustingly sweet soda now tastes to me now that I haven't had one in several months. I had a sip of Sprite the other day and I couldn't believe that I used to enjoy entire cans of that stuff without ever noticing the blast of sugar.

Hair. My hair. My hair is starting to grow again.
I've been mostly bald since July, thanks to the chemo. Not all chemo drugs make your hair fall out. The ones I was on did. But now that I'm on a different chemo dose with new drugs... my hair is starting to return.

I am still considering dying it platinum blonde once it's long enough.
