Thursday, 2/10 -- Barking orders like a big jerk.

Positive energies have been received. I've been getting a flood of good vibes through the air, through the atmosphere and through the satellite dish.

I've also been downloading Karma from the Internet. It's the latest fad.

My overall symptoms are the same. My physical condition is not all that great.
Weakness.
Fatigue.
Numbness.
Coughing.

The pain in my legs is still there, however, it is not as intense as it has been on other nights. I still need to take my pain pills at night to sleep.

So long as the intensity of the pain is slowly decreasing, that's a good sign. Increased pain would be a bad sign, of course. I guess that's an obvious statement. Duh.

The good news is that my condition has not worsened in the past few days.
The bad news is that things haven't really improved either.

We are faced with the real possibility that my body has suffered permanent damage from long term chemotherapy. I've been blaming the last chemicals themselves, but at this point ANY treatment could have had this effect. My body is in a fragile state.

Around the house:
I'm working with Lyn and my mother-in-law to start to box up all my eBay merchandise. I'm clearing it out of the house. We're cataloging it and preparing to send it to an auction house for sale. This process will take more than a few days. There's a lot of stuff to go through.

The thing is, I'm too weak to lift anything, so I sit on the couch and bark orders. Bring me this box! Take this away! Wrap this up!
It's a very hard adjustment for me. I'm too much of a do-it-myself person. I'm learning how to have people help me. It's not easy.

Kinds of vintage and antique stuff I'm getting rid of:
Barware
China and glassware
Fishing lures and reels
Reels of old films (Good stuff)
Stanley planes and woodworking tools
Kitchenware
Sheet music
And really so much more.

It was fun selling it, but I certainly don't have the energy or inclination to do it any more. When we're retired in 20 years we'll get back into the antiques business. But for now, we're going to concentrate our energy on other things.

If anyone has any interest in any of the kinds of stuff I might have, drop me a line. I'll let you know if I have it.

(Need a Fireking chaffing dish? Need a Fleuger fly reel? Need a vintage chrome cocktail set? Need a No. 4 Stanley corrugated-bottom plane? Need a set of whimsical bar tools? Need some bizarre salt & pepper shakers? etc)
