Chemo hobbies and fever

Yesterday was a good day. Today not so much. For a day with no appointments and no obligations, I was exhausted. I took a long morning nap even after two coffees. Now I know why. By 5pm, I had a low fever 🤒.  It’s below the benchmark for panic or for calling the doc, but I’m in bed grumpy and miserable.

But the one fun part of the day - cross stitching. I’m picking back up a hobby from my childhood, thinking it should be a good distraction during chemo. I also got a couple of crossword puzzle books (thanks Karla and the Fisher clan!)  But the first pattern was from a little book called Subversive Cross Stitch. (I won’t post a picture of the book since the rest of the title is not family friendly!)  Needless to say, these aren’t my mother’s patterns. I also found a couple online tools to help me design my own pattern. If I keep up with this, I may start taking requests!

It has been a couple minutes since I last took my temperature, so I’ve gotta go and do that  ... and NOT panic about a possible infection.
