First I have a left over item from Monday.  Monday’s blog post almost didn’t happen.  When I went to write it, my wordpress pages would not load.  I logged into my hosting service (Hostgator) and found that the backend database server was not running.  Thankfully, I was able to use the online chat with hostgator support and they were able to fix the issue pretty quickly.  This is almost a shameless plug for their service since my experience using them for the last several years has been all positive. Things happen and having the database server go down is not out of the question, so I appreciate that they gave good and quick service to correct it.  Now on to Tuesday.

Today was pretty uneventful.  The good new is that the barrier I applied yesterday has so far held up.  On top of that, my shipment of spares arrived, so I am good to go for the time being.

Work went fine.  I started my day working from home, then headed in around lunch time to attend a few meetings.  I am pretty happy with the teams that we have working our program right now, so things are pretty positive all around. Tomorrow morning will start early since I scheduled an 8AM meeting to work out some design issues with the team.  Even so, I am looking forward to having that group collaborate on the next design piece.  My vitals are all still good.  My weight is mostly maintaining.  I did drop maybe a pound in the last 2 weeks, but I consider that a good thing.  The nurse told me on Monday that she did get approval for the dietitian consultation, so I am looking forward to getting that on my calendar.  So far the only notable side effect of the chemotherapy is still the increased cold sensitivity.  I am really glad to be living in SoCal since I don’t think I could handle a North East winter right now.
