Tried Some Cleaning, but a Movie Sounded Like More Fun

Today I started taking the premed Decadron pills again, getting my body ready for the Chemo drugs. Two little green pills, twice a day, the day before Chemo and the day after.

After breakfast, I set out with an honest effort to get some housecleaning done as I had planned to do. I got both bathrooms cleaned and a load of laundry. That seemed like an honest effort to me. I had also planned to see a movie today, so this seemed like a nice place to stop. I can always do more cleaning Thursday and Friday before the aches set in. The steroids should keep my energy levels up for the next couple of days so I can get the dusting, mopping and vacuuming done then.

The movie I saw today was "The King's Speech". If you haven't seen this one yet, I highly recommend it. It is the story about King George VI of England, who reluctantly becomes king in 1936 when his older brother abdicates the throne. King George VI has a stuttering problem and works to overcome it with the help of a crazy dude named Lionel Logue. This movie has grabbed a lot of Oscar nominations, twelve total, including Best Picture, Best Supporting Actress, Best Director, Best Original Script and Best Actor. It's a must see!

And then comes tomorrow.....Chemo Day! Finally!
