You know I figure life is very interesting as you get older. I've fought my weight all my life and I've had high blood pressure since about 1990 and diabetes since '92. Now I've got cancer and this thing they call Chemo brain has my world completely turned up side down.

I got up today and went over to the hospital to get my infusion and the lady took my vitals and told me my temperature was low, 97.6 and I better be watching my blood pressure because it was 101/62 and my heart rate was 67, and I lost two more lbs since yesterday. They brought in a real comfortable lounge chair that I could actually lay back in and a pillow for my head. I was so comfortable that I fell asleep while I was getting my infusion. When the nurse came in she gently shook me and asked if I was OK. At this point I have no F++++++ idea how I'm supposed to feel. If I say great, Sharon has honey dues for me to do, if I say I don't feel too well they've got another F++++++ pill I can take. My answer from now on will be"Why the F+++ are you asking?" I feel well enough to drive myself over here and get the infusion, but not well enough to do something I don't feel like doing. So no more open ended questions, I will only answer closed ended questions, for those of you who have never attended one of my sales courses, a closed ended question is one that can only be answered with a Yes or a No. Are you old Mr. McLaughlin "Yes". Do I give a shit? NO.

After all this I decided that I would go over to the gym and do my best to try to do about 30 minutes on my exercise biker thingy. At about 25 minutes I started to feel light headed so I went over to the trainer to get my vitals done and he then informed me that my blood pressure was 95/60 and that my blood sugar was 74 and that I should probably not do any more exercising today.

I then drove home and watched a little of last nights Olympics. Bode Miller has certainly turned it around and it's too bad he didn't win a gold. .09 is just way to small a margin to get third place. God bless him for coming back for his third Olympics. It was also great to see the snowboard cross guys come in first and fourth. The girl that won the bumps kicked some ass also. You talk about pressure, the last run of the competition. I love watching that stuff. I have to admit, I cry at shit like that.

The thing that I didn't watch much of, was the ice skating. You know that Sharon was Miss Fort Wayne on Ice, when she was about 16, so she does love to watch, but I understand the American kids didn't score high on the judges scoring, but they both skated their highest scores ever. I hear the winners both screwed up their final performance but won anyway. To me it's all about trying your hardest and not giving up.

Well that all there is today from Mr. Philosopher. Tune in tomorrow for the never ending line of BS he has to share.

Oh yea, Sharon fixed me a salad of hot dogs and lettuce and a piece of rye bread for lunch. Now that' eating!!!!!!!
