.......I gave up on soda crackers a year or more ago becuz of my diabetes......they’re made of white flour and contain high fructose corn syrup, both of which have deleterious effects on BS......still, soda crackers, saltines, whatever ya want’a call ‘em, have a soothing effect on an upset stomach and Chemo can give a person an upset stomach.....sooooo, I bought a box of crackers and have been working my way thru them.........and crackers and milk have been a comfort food in my family like f’rever.......I don’t know just when that began but my Mother fed them to me and my brothers and we fed them to our children.......anyway, as my BS normalizes after Chemo week, I find myself waking in the small hours with dropping BS.....and a small glass of milk and a handful of crackers seems to be the perfect comfort food to bring the BS up and allow me to sleep out the rest of the nite......so there you have it.
Now on to other, much more mundane tho’ts......I miss my hair. I miss washing it and combing it but mostly I just miss having it.......like coffee......almost two weeks ago, I got my taste for coffee back (having lost it during the first go-round)......I was back to my routine of grinding beans and making coffe first thing in the AM when, yesterday, to my suprise, it began to taste like mud. Again! And I couldn’t even drink one small cup......Now bear with me here, people. I know coffee and hair is small stuff and one shouldn’t sweat the small stuff....I don’t know if the Devil is in the details or not but I think I’ve always fretted over the small stuff just so I wouldn’t have to spend a lot of time worrying about the big stuff that I couldn’t do anything about anyway......so as Red Skelton used to say, “G’nite and God bless!”.........David
