Took a nap this afternoon from about 2 – 4 PM. Felt pretty good after that. Appetite was low again at dinner, which seems to be normal on dosing days. At 8:40 PM this evening feeling quite tired, with some nausea. I did take a piece of crystallized ginger (a very kind gift from Anne and Dean) after dinner, which did help to soothe the savage beast.
