No routine here...yet

 I am struggling to once again establish a consistent daily routine. Since the surgery that has gone completely and I think having some semblance of structure beyond basic chores once I manage to arise might be helpful. The girl is pooping slightly more often, so there is that. The bills are paid and the place is tidied and I've managed to eat more than one meal, arrange a possible ride to my surveillance appointment on the 31rst. My vote by mail ballot is done and I baked an organic sour dough not from scratch and gave it to a friend because she has done so much for me and is at present taking care of her husband. I am so tired I can barely sit up.

Time for bed...Have a good night.

Mercy and I: An update

 Mercy' s litter box issues continue. It is an anxiety problem, from my reading. She is taking Miralax and Metamucil. They assist her in going so she does not become constipated and unable to go...Things are improving bit by little bit.

As for me, I am doing more daily but still tire easily. The outbreak of cyclospora has changed my eating, a pain for someone primarily existing on salads and fruits. A recent broadcast featured a physician telling us, "if you cannot peel it or cook it, do not eat it." I heard this all the time living and travelling abroad.

I've had a bout of food poisoning from pre-cooked, vacuum packed clams from Vietnam courtesy of Amazon Fresh. I'll not be ordering those again.

Happy Saturday. My first ninety day check for cancer recurrence is July 31.
