Happiness is Marineland

For some reason I have the jingle from the ads for Marineland (in Niagara Falls, Ontario) in my head this morning. I'm feeling very good still. No side effects from the last treatment, which makes me very happy. I've been at work all week, tag-teaming with the temp, who is 6 months pregnant. We've been comparing symptoms, etc., and I've decided pregnancy is a lot like chemo, except that you get a baby at the end of it, and I just get a clean bill of health. :P

Watched Conan O'Brien last night (taped Tuesday)! He's in Toronto! Mike Myers made all sorts of Canadian references. It was almost as good as being there. They're at the Elgin, which is just down the street from my former apartment and my watering hole of choice, Riley's. Wonder if anyone I know is teching for the show? Stompin' Tom was on the show last night, so I'll have to watch the recording when I get home from work.

To keep the temp busy, I've been having her do all my hated filing. Blech. We've now updated the files for all the incoming tenant complaints for 2003. I'm sure you care.

Tomorrow is another chemo treatment, and hopefully this one will be as pleasant as the last. Or at least the side effects will be as pleasant. The actual treatment wasn't particularly pleasant (sucking on ice for a couple of hours is really not fun when it's already cold out and your arm is especially cold due to the chilled fluid they're pumping into you). This time, though, I'm bringing a book. Had to read Women's Day and Better Homes and Gardens last time, and every article seemed to be food-related. And I was hungry, since I'd missed lunch. No so much fun.

This morning work is holding a "Tenant Appreciation Breakfast", which I get to attend. In a skirt. Thank god for tights, since I'm not supposed to shave my legs (potential for infection, not to mention that the skin is super sensitive just now), and my leg hair hasn't obliged me by falling out. My head hair is still falling out, and none of the wigs are very comfy, but maybe I'll wear one today anyhow. Eventually, I'm sure, I'm going to have to shave my head, but I can't bring myself to part with the remaining 4 strands. Okay, I exaggerate, but still!

All right, time to go get dressed and ready to take on the world. Or the croissant. Whichever I encounter first!
