The nausea and fatigue is definitely lessening (I actually cleaned yesterday! Woo!) and radiation, which starts soon, doesn't usually have that side effect.

On the other hand, covid infections in New Mexico have had a sudden massive spike, and since we don't yet know how long immunity lasts, R is definitely not coming home for Christmas, which sucks.

Aww. :( Yeah, even though my BIL will hopefully have antibodies by then, we're already planning on not doing Thanksgiving or Christmas together. I"m sure something will happen individually (I'm planning on doing a take-n-bake pizza for my BIL, at the least.) But...it's not going to be like last year.

Also contemplating making deviled eggs to ding-dong-ditch for people. The in-laws haven't had them since last Christmas.

Yay, and also, ugh.

We've never been really big holiday people, but still, it's weird to let it go by with so little acknowledgment.

I want deviled eggs now.

You want my deviled egg recipe? (Courtesy of the Reverend Erik Doughy of St. Paul MN.)

9 hardboiled eggs. (My egg plate holds 18.)
3-4 slices of bacon, fried until crispy and finely chopped up into bits.
small package of crumbled bleu cheese (about 2-4 oz, depending on what you like.)
Mayo
dijon mustard
salt/pepper to taste

Halve and pop out the yolks. Mash up with the bleu cheese. Dump in bacon bits, then a squirt of the mustard. Add in enough mayo to make it creamy and season with salt/pepper. Spoon or pipe back into the halves.

The remainder of the egg yolk goop is really good on crackers.

Awesome, I think I actually have all of that in the house.

Also, I might be lazy and just make it into deviled egg salad and make sandwiches.

That would be good, too...

its good you're feeling better. How is R feeling?

R is not good, but past the worst of it, covid wise. I am hoping she's not going to end up in the "long covid" category. The isolation is also really getting to her.
