Dawn Documents My Dreams

My pedometer is off a bit. I think I really should get a more professional one than the McDonald's salad special. I know I walked more than 320 steps, so on my President's Challenge log, I only logged in walking and not steps. How did you all do today? (and yes, from those last comments, I have found them to be pretty accurate. You have to have the placement just right.) You should give it a few test steps at home to make sure it's in the right place and is counting correctly. I wear mine from the minute I wake up till nearly bedtime.

Today I woke up and had a low grade fever. I'm not liking that. And they wouldn't let me do rehab, although I really didn't feel up to it today. Of course my doctor blamed the tapering off of the steroids. I'm down to 3 pills a day (vs. 9). I also signed up for this protocol study. It's really an exclusive one, but basically they know that I have tissue damage in my esophogus/stomach from the chemo/transplant. They are going to give me these neupogen shots to see if the stem cells will help repair the damage. It's a really expensive study. I sure hope it works because then I can get off the steroids faster. Which would be groovy because they are just killing my muscles.

Mom is helping Sis #2 get stuff ready for the move, so my dad is my caretaker tonight. We went to a really cool restaurant near Rice University and then went to SuperTarget for some groceries. It was nice because he and I don't get to hang out by ourselves all that much. I came home and crashed out in bed. I'm trying really hard to stay awake so I can watch the entire episode of Boston Legal.

Dawn. The girl just cracks me up. She made me my own personal Natalie Dee-esque drawings.

How awesome are these? I can do this. I have my own cartoons.

Your assignment for today is to be secretly sexy. I was tired of getting called sir, so I work my pink tank top and dressed up a bit today, earrings, bracelet, enginerd push up bra and my jeans that (sadly) used to be cute and tight but now are baggy - bleh, but yay for weight loss.

When was the last time you did that? Like wore some cute underwear under your regular work clothes. Or dressed up a bit. Why buy sexy heels if they gather dust? Yeah, they may hurt your feet a bit at work, but wear them anyway and bring some sneaks to walk in later. I think you should try to do that at least once a week. It actually was kind of fun.

And remember. Don't make your juice from concentrate. It doesn't please Jesus and means you are a whore. (hey, I'm not making this up) - thanks Random and Odd for the link. I can't seem to close my mouth.

I'd bring you fresh squeezed. But that's only because you know how to fix my coffee perfectly.
