     Day 2 after infusion. Ok now I get it, my body is mounting a defense against the chemo, I thought once the infusion was done the treatment was over. Not true, I have little appetite, and much fatigue.  All I want to do is lie on the couch. I am not sleepy just tired and muddled. Only four more weeks to go.

     A friend tells me I have no right to feel lonely because I have family and friends who help me. She says she is truly alone. So, what is loneliness? And who has the right to claim it. I seldom feel loneliness, it just creeps up occasionally. I remind myself that loneliness is just a feeling that moves through life.

     RESIDENT ALIEN is now on Netflix, one of my favorite funny weird shows.  I am excited about seeing it again, without commercials this time.

     I worry that I am becoming deaf. For several days I did not hear the neighborhood dogs barking.  This morning the barking is loud and clear. I hear just fine.
