Doing normal things can make you feel so good! My chemos would each require a few days spent mostly in bed, just tired. I would recover as the cycle went on, so I would cook a pot of chicken soup and freeze it in containers. And I'd prep a few sewing projects, and then I could work on those when I felt up to it, all while watching Star Trek: The Next Generation on BBC America.
I completed my chemo, just had my mastectomy, and will almost definitely be starting my radiation in a week or two. John will get to the end of this! I do feel it's important to always keep sight of what makes you happy and to sneak some of it in whenever possible.
