Here's the latest update.

Radiation therapy is apparently the easier of the two, and I've finished the RT and it was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. I start the chemo early next month, I will be using temozolomide.

I am so broke now. I was saving up money for something else when I found out about this, and travelling for 5 hours a day for 6 weeks fit into my budget but then gas prices went up significantly where I live ($0.30/liter) right when I started and although still cheaper than getting a hotel every day it was not by enough. They've taken my driver's license away for the meantime, I hope to get it back on May 5.

I don't have the strength these days. I'm not tired, I'm just weak. Not used to it for sure, I am otherwise in great physical shape. So what I've been doing lately is working on some apps for android and ios. Nothing overly exciting, but one of them is doing pretty okay in terms of sales considering I don't advertise them. I hope to get a bunch of tools out there for cheap and hope that they sell in large numbers because they are a buck and a half. My passion project is of course this app I've been working on since last July called TapTap!

I don't have my own kids but I do have a bunch of them in my life and what they love more than Minecraft on creative is singing and dancing and moving around. So I've got an app that teaches the movements to all those action songs: Head shoulders, Knees and Toes - Itsy Bitsy Spider - I'm a Little Teapot - Six Little Ducks. Those are the ones in the free version.

The full version is a work in progress and has currently 20 songs but I have the sheet music for over 80. I've got 20 recorded (I am a professional musician and used to own a recording studio, but now it's all just in my apartment) and I hope to release it when I have the 20 videos complete. This pandemic is kind of making it so that I can't gather people to film, and I don't want to be in them personally. HOPING that when restrictions are revisited (May 25 here) I can gather some people and bust out the remaining videos. There's a lot of interest by the local school boards to incorporate it into their younger grade curriculum, and I know a lot of people in the daycare business who are eager to get more than the 4 songs on the free version.

Really that's what I've been doing with my time. I'm super depressed and the best  I can do is keep busy until hopefully I get it all over with.
