After three consecutive nights of insufficient sleep, I woke this morning feeling utterly exhausted—despite the fact that I slept for at least five hours during the day yesterday. I have to stay awake this morning because I have an appointment with my oncologist. Shortly thereafter, I meet with an attorney to update/replace my will, living will, power of attorney, and various other legal materials. Though it’s just prudent to update those legal documents, the process seems just a shade morbid, as if I am focusing on end-of-life matters—which, of course, is exactly what I am doing. Better to clarify my intentions than to leave a mass of tangled questions for others to work through.

I cannot stay awake. I will rely on mi novia to wake me before it is time to drive to the cancer clinic. She insisted on cancelling her hair appointment this morning so she could drive me. Given the way I feel right now, that was a wise decision.
