Do not seek to have events happen as you want them to, but instead want them to happen as they do happen, and your life will go well. ~Epictesus, from The Encheiridion

A bend in the road is not the end of the road… unless you fail to make the turn. ~ Author Unknown

Every food I eat the day of and the day after chemo becomes a “marked” food. These foods are then associated in my mind with nausea and full body twitches. The mere mention of these foods causes me to bend over and mutter, “breathe breathe breathe”. This has caused me some embarrassment since I ate California Rolls the day of my second chemo. Now, I have to jaunt passed Japanese restaurants with my back to the window or crawl by uttering “breathe breathe breathe”. The Japan Society of Boston has apparently sent my picture out to all members with the caption “watch out for this wacko guy who will lick your sidewalk and do breathing exercises – give him five dollars and he’ll go quietly”. The extra income has been useful, but I didn’t like getting a bucket of salmon scraps tossed at me in front of Sakura-Bana two days ago. ~Source
