AS MY BRAIN RE-ENERGIZES, IT DOES NOT LIKE DISORDER

So in addition to many likes and comments, my Facebook plea got 19 shares.  How do posts go viral?  I mean, lots of posts recommending masks are so insulting to the populous that I can see people feeling so defensive as to advocate mask burning rallies as happened with draft card burnings and bra burnings in the past—which made no more sense, back then, as burning life-saving masks would make no sense, today.  Seriously.  How many times must we learn to stop putting people down in favor of appealing to the better side of human nature, suggesting that we all have something of value to learn ...

I’m glad to say that Wednesday’s blood tests were good across the board, and over these past two days, my energy level is slowly on the rise.  I actually tackled my socks, yesterday, which have been in a cardboard box on the floor for weeks, ever since I ordered and assembled plastic separators in two large drawers (I’ve acquired quite the colorful sock collection) before an infusion of chemo knocked out my bone marrow’s production of new blood cells, leaving  me feeling too physically weakened to complete the task of reorganization.  Hopefully, this will be a productive week (before my next chemo infusion, next Wednesday).  I’m hoping to put in order everything I’ve not had the energy to put away for many weeks, which is utterly unlike me.

With no energy, disorder barely bothered me.  Now that my brain can reorganize more than my thoughts, I’d like my physical environment and mental faculties to match, again.

Annnd—that plan for productivity flew out the window right after this unplanned incident flew in:
Guess who tweaked her back while sitting on the floor, placing my socks in individual compartments?  Guess any job, no matter how light weight, is more of a feat than I realized after months of inactivity.  Thank goodness, I’m accustomed to keeping my mind well occupied as most of my days are spent in bed, now on my old trusty heating pad—and since this, too, shall pass ... here’s hoping that your day is going well ...
