Gifts

This morning I'm hanging with my girl Methotrexate again. It's bright yellow like a strong margarita. Maybe that's why I'm craving the Pappasitos fajita salad again.

I got up earlier that I should have and monkey'd on down to the Starbucks for my Independence Latte. It's kind of cool to walk around in your pajamas and slippers while everyone goes on their way to work. I was kickin' it with my UT hat too, so that got a few hook 'ems.

I wish I had a friend to come hang out here with me. Most patients have people that stay over with them, or lots of visitors. All my friends work or have kids and/or are sick. I think it would be fun just to hang out and watch Blazing Saddles or something. I guess I'm just in a goof off kind of mood.

If I get a full IV tower, I think I'm going to go meander around the hospital today. We are allowed to walk around, but sometimes the IV thing beeps and it gets annoying.

I get another lovely interthecal chemo spinal puncture today. At least they don't hurt that bad. Sad state of affairs when the thought of a giant needle in your spine no longer freaks you out.

Ok. Off to read.

Today your assignment is to go to bed early or take a lush nap. Tomorrow rings in the New Year, and you need to be snappy for that. I got the most beautiful Brookstone napping blanket and pillow and I fully intend to use them sometime today. Enjoy!

Some people just get the gift thing so right - like when someone really gets you. These are the people you need to keep forever.

HOOK 'EM!

If you are still there on Monday, I will come see you and hang out! I am not working but the Dude is and the kid will be in school.

I would totally love to come over and have a latte with you...we could watch All My Children and make fun of all the skinny...
well, you get the picture.
I'm kind of far away though.

I'll be thinking of you at midnight -- and all the great things ahead of you!

I wish I could have come to hang with you the day you wrote this. Having the guys in tow would have made it a challenge though. This week? Or next? I'm so there for you. Anytime.
