Crazy bananas and wacky coconuts

My potassium looked good today! And the terror of having the line installed in my arm yesterday really paid off today - it was a chemo day, as is every Thursday. I think once I get past the weirdness of this little hose hanging out of my inner arm, the benefits of easy IV access and bloodwork will make that little hose my best friend.

So, feeling pretty good after a full day of treatments, I went to the grocery store for some much needed fresh foods and goodies. OK, I feel a bit bananas and wacky coconuts after chemo cocktail filled with steroids and Valium. I will have a hangover tomorrow, but another day down, and another cancer cell bites the dust.

Fun in the produce section

I believe the produce guy is convinced that I have a serious problem. This is not the first time he has seen me photographing veggies over his shoulder. Ah, at least he's a good sport and pretends like he doesn't see me there. "Oh no, here comes the crazy girl with the camera... " Pay no attention, and she will go away...

More fun with my nifty fifty! I just love punching these out at 1.4!! (I mean, look at that shutter speed...!?) And I enjoy the effect of the shallow DoF. Thanks, produce guy, for making the broccoli so pretty.

Tomatoes on the vine

I brought the camera to the grocery store. Surprisingly enough, there are lots of great things to photograph in there - fresh produce, flowers, and lots of color everywhere. The kid working in the produce section probably thought I was insane, but I looked at him, shrugged, and said that the store was the closest thing that I had to the outdoors. He said, "you don't want to go outside, do you.." Nah. It's too dark and cold out there.
