Wow, Ginger. I'm so glad Zenkitty is there!

Good luck with the Gatorade, salt and bacon - sounds like a good plan to me and I don't much like the other choices as presented. Oncologist needs to not presume she knows what you need wrt quality of life, sounds like.

Don't much like your oncologist. So glad zenkitty is there.

I sent you an email.

I'm glad Zenkitty is there for you. Soups are often salty. Is that an option for you?

Any reason I should keep the mortgage payment stubs and maintenance payments stubs of the co-op I sold 5 years ago?

Salty soups, bacon, a good excuse for country ham, fresh tomatoes, plus I've always liked plenty of salt on raw veggies. I think the large amount would only be until my tissues recover.

Clark Howard says you should keep anything that proves you paid something off forever.

I have the letter saying the mortgage balance is zero. I'll keep that.

Boullion cubes might be a good idea. Nice mug of salty broth any time you want one. Or as directed. Whichever is more appropriate.

I never had a cup of tea today. Weird. I feel like I should report on my lunch, though, because it was delish - warm brussels sprouts salad with bacon, shallots, and a poached egg, an "Eastern Spices Gin & Tonic" (I don't recall what all was in it, but it was good, looked like maybe cardamom and peppercorns and basil?), and for dessert orange custard topped with cranberry compote and cardamom whipped cream. So good, and I can probably approximate most of it at home.

Ginger, salt the fucking earth. Jaysus. Much pissyass love to you. I'm glad Zen is there.

I treated myself to dinner out at the nearby fine dining restaurant tonight as they've been advertising beef marrow all week. It was delicious, and for once I was at a place where the live music actually involved playing songs I'm fond of. (It was a solo guitarist who played Elvis, the Eagles, and Gerry Rafferty.)
