Self Pity Stopped

Saturday morning I was reading a post from someone venting about how they were stuck at home (http://abc-survivors.net/connect/ ) . Their artificial lower leg was too long and they were going to have to wait a week for the error to be fixed. I know its good to vent but I started feeling sorry for myself, too. I am not driving, yet, and depend on Charley and others for rides.

Then friends arrived with a favorite mystery writer books and a high quality photo book about crop circles. Whether you believe they are messages from aliens or human stunts, the photos are beautiful and the designs are elegant in this book by Steve and Karen Alexander.
In the afternoon friends called with plans to eat out (http://triumphcafe.com/ ), hear live music and see a DVD movie (Australia - Hugh Jackman with his shirt off http://dev.australiamovie.com/ ). We had Vietnamese food, listen to Klezmer music. The whole band and belly dancer were there. Most of the band looks like my age or older. The singer is a young woman in her early 20's with a wonderful voice.
The British Shorthorn cattle (wikipedia has them) featured in the movie were one of the breeds of cattle I have experience driving with an ACD (http://ACDCA.org and (http://blueheeler.com/RiverForth/River_Forth_1.htm look down to the second photo). I was kind of disappointed they did not have an ACD to help them. I am still a big Baz Luhrmann fan. Strickly Ballroom and Romeo & Juliet are favorites of mine.
For All Mankind is showing at the LBJ Library. Maybe I will feel well enough to see it this week.
I am worried that I will be ill from the Cisplatin Chemo on Tuesday and vomit on the radiologist's equipment Wed. I have done it before during an earlier chemo period so its not totally paranoid of me.
Well back to positive thoughts of feeling well.
