[cancer] Feeling a bit better
Magic Mouthwash works. It tastes like library paste mixed with eau de hospital floor, but it pretty much stuns my mouth into submission. That in turn reduces a lot of my general distress, and more or less eliminates my pain.
In other news, I slept much better last night, albeit a bit short yet. If I’m really going to keep waking up at 3 am, maybe I need to start going to bed later than 7 pm. Ah, the joys of chemo.

But you were going to do that anyway.
And I love the mohawk and the crossbow.

Is there any particular hair you always wanted–say, I dunno, red?–but never had? This is your chance.
