Indeed it stunned me at first the stupid things that would come out of peoples mouths when I first started treatment:

then I got pissy and posted this list of things people should avoid with me on my blog: aliceonice.spaces.msn.com,

a) asking me silly questions that are not relevant to the next 5 minutes, thats all the further ahead I can think
b) inviting me to parties and being offended when I pass
c) expecting me to remember birthdays, holidays or events of any type
d) expecting any kind of real empathy out of me for your daily little life dramas, I still care I just don't have the energy to participate
e) expecting me to give a rats ass about what you think I look like, smell like or behave like
f) expecting me to live on anyones agenda but mine, do it my way or my way
g) do not look at me like I am an idiot when I cannot carry on a witty conversation, I can barely form thoughts
h) do not ask me to make decisions about anything, I am not capable
i) don't call me 12 times in a row, if I don't answer I am asleep, several times a day, sometimes all day, I will get back to you when I get to it


Now I just nod my head and smile as I have resigned myself to the fact that the "thems" out number the us's.

Carry on Brock, for someone, what 30 some weeks in, you look just fabulous darling...
