it's called fatigue

I just turned to Jake and said "This is weird. I'm so tired, but I don't feel like sleeping." Jake responded with, "It's called fatigue." oooooooooooo. So that's what fatigue feels like. Ha.

I had day 4 of radiation today. Now I'm fatigued. I drove myself to the place and back and even stopped off at the grocery store to pick up a couple of things. I felt like a normal person (although I did hope that the check-out person didn't notice the faint waffle-face I had). Then I got home, unpacked the groceries, and decided I felt like making guacamole. That's when the fatigue hit in. I started getting so worn down. By the time I was done chopping vegetables I had to stop and lay down. Who knew guacamole could do that to a person!

I looked back up the side effects from radiation. Sure enough, first on the list: fatigue. I thought that was only from the chemo. Great.

So, I guess this may be a good place to actually ask for help. I am a very organized person and make out my shopping list/meals every week. This week I planned for simple things Jake could make himself, just in case. It seems that Jake will be making dinner for a while, now, and I have only a handful of "easy meals." It's not that Jake can't cook, in fact, he's really good at it. He's just lazy. Ha! As long as there aren't too many steps or it doesn't dirty too many pans, he doesn't mind cooking. So....here is my plea to all you out there who keep asking what you can do from so far away. Send me easy meal recipes. Things that Jake can cook (that I can hopefully eat, as well). For Jake's sake it should involve few steps and easy cleanup. For my sake it shouldn't be too heavy, greasy, or spicy.

Alright... I suppose that's all for now. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
