Bon Voyage Zkat

Zoe's gone. I was missing her before she even left.

Her dad flew in from NYC yesterday to pick her up for about six weeks. His flight was delayed a few hours so we sat in the cell phone lot (a brilliant idea, BTW - you can park in this lot for free and wait on your party to phone you). Zoe and my mom walked around and I made some phone calls. We then picked him up, but took a wrong turn (too many tollways) and got a bit lost on our way to his hotel. Then we ate at the Cracker Barrel - a restaurant for cracker white people only apparently (some racism lawsuit).

Zoe hugged me goodbye about six times at the hotel. I feel like I barely just got to see her and then she's gone again. She was so happy to see her dad. I'm glad she went though. I know she will have fun as she gets to go to this day camp and then swim every night. Last year she came home so tan people were speaking Spanish to her at the grocery store. Obviously she doesn't get this from me.

Today has been a chill out day. I busted out my yoga DVD and man am I totally inflexible. I'm all full of magnesium so it's doing weird stuff to my stomach. It was a home workout kind of day so I could stay close to the bathroom. How fun and sexy am I?

Baby steps.

I also spent like 30 minutes trying to pluck my eyebrows. They grew back, but it's weird to pluck them again as you don't have that great outline already there - they just grew in like bushes. They turned out pretty good. And even though my hair is growing in pretty sparse, I'm glad the color is the same as it was - jet black. Zoe loved to rub my head and said it was as soft as a baby's. It made me sad to wake up this morning without knowing that she would come bust in at 7:30am to watch tv and snug up with me.

I have a big day tomorrow at MDA. Some full cardio workup, at 7:30am no less - damnit, then labs, then I meet with my doctor. I'm not sure how all of this will work, but it's still much better than having to go in 3-4 times a week. I'm going to be there all day though.

Here's hoping my heart wasn't damaged.

I can do this. Even at 7:30am.

Your assignment for today is to get up an extra 30 minutes early than normal. Enjoy the solitude of the morning. If you drink coffee, savor it (thanks Moxie for the Godiva coffee!!!! It's so yummy). Make yourself breakfast instead of cereal or toast. Enjoy the silence. Or just stay in bed and stretch for that extra 30 minutes. Enjoy your morning.

I love you. And especially you. Cos you make me laugh.

Sent to me by my cuz, Rebecca. These were funny
