4th day after 6th chemo

Now that I have reached the half-way mark of the first chemotherapy cycle, it seems that I got used to handling the side-effects better. 

I sleep when I need to, eat what I crave and in between have fun with whatever turns out to be an activity for the evening...

I have had an ongoing craving for congee with all the bits added in, but, alas, around Boston, there is none to be found. :( So going for any other Asian soups -- Tom Kha, for example. 

This week, beyond the regular fatigue and noticeably losing my hair, I was able to easily handle a day trip to the Berkshires to visit the MassMoCA and Clark museums with George and have a leisurely day on Sunday with a few naps here and there.
