Chemo is starting to catch up with me

So even though I am flying through this whole thing pretty well, it seems as though the chemo is finally catching up with me.  I am always tired and now I seem to have “chemobrain” or “chemofog”.  (It’s a real thing).  I’ve been noticing this all week long because I’ve been doing things that are unlike me, such as oversleeping, confusing times and days, and being unable to work at Starbucks.  Now I know that making a drink really isn’t that hard - especially because I’ve been there now six months.  But today, I could not get a drink or an order correct.  Even if I wrote it down.  It is SO frustrating!  I’ve requested that I not be scheduled to work with customers for the next few weeks until the drugs are out of my system.  It’s really weird.  Oh, and I’ve been really cranky, perhaps because I can’t remember names and words and drink orders.  I think it also bothers me because I’ve always been pretty quick on figuring out problems and troubleshooting (when I first strated working there people that I had been there for months) but now I can’t even keep simple things straight.  I know this will pass.  Just thought I would let you all know in case you talk with me and I seem out of it.  I am out of it.  Good thing there is only one more chemo because I am SO over all of this business!
