Rainy Sunday

The afternoon brought rain that hasn't quite ended. The temperature was on the chilly side. It was a good day to build a fire in the fireplace. My scouting son had a crackling fire going in no time. Though he was having no fun in front of it doing his homework, I enjoyed the cozy warmth while crocheting or reading a book.

My nose wasn't as runny or stuffy today. Maybe it really is allergies. I looked up the pollen count for today and the past week. Last week the count was moderate to high. Today it is low, probably because of the rain. Hmmm. I have always had seasonal stuffy nose problems. Nothing bad, but I know something out there affects me. So it is a toss-up and I'm going to give up figuring out which it is because it really doesn't matter. I can't change either problem. I'll just sniff my way through it and it will eventually clear up. Maybe the Claritin will help when I start taking it on Thursday to help counter the aches of the Neulasta shot.

My mouth has been feeling kind of funny today and my tongue is tingling again. Perhaps I will swish my mouth out with the salt/baking soda rinse. Or maybe not. The taste really makes me gag. Oh, I will do it. I don't want any problems right now. I have another chemo treatment in 3 days. It will provide its own round of side effects. No need to have any going in to it.
