Today was one of those days. I've never run slower in my life. I could have walked twice as fast as I ran. But I did it anyway. With my new GPS watch, I now know how slow I really am.

I saw an interesting comment on Facebook which said to 'Like if being Vegan makes you happy." I loved that. Being vegan does make me happy. Maybe it is just due to feeding my body more nutrients, or maybe it is because I am not taking in hormones and chemicals reflecting pain, terror, and suffering, but it works for us.
I also recently saw a bumper sticker reading "Vegans are fighting the war on terror." I liked that, too.
Dean had chemo on Friday. It takes almost the entire day now. He is still fasting the day before and day of chemo and it seems to be working well. He doesn't have nearly as many side effects that some people have. He is experiencing a new one, however, which they warned him about. Drinking anything cold or even touching something cold, as something from the refrigerator, causes an intense short burst of pain. That symptom only lasts a few days, though. Weird, huh! His Doctor has told him not to jog, run, or take long walks so that he doesn't get the massive blistering of his feet this time around. He did take a long bike ride today which he enjoyed, but he really misses the jogging and losing that level of fitness.
Side note---I do fast when he does, solidarity fasting---but only for 24 hours. I think that is a reasonable limit for me. It is an interesting experience. I feel hungry at times, sure, but it is a good kind of emptiness. I like it. It reminds me how often I walk around feeling stuffed unnecessarily.
