Still vacationing, but have moved my act to Sis #3's casa. She and her cutie boyfriend are in Vegas and I am housesitting. I'm also a cleaning fool. She took such good care of me before when I was doing the chemo cha-cha, that I figured it would be nice for them to come home to a clean, well-organized home. I'm even taking care of her ginourmous dogs and her rabbit, appropriately named Bunny.
I need to get finished up before they get home, and also because I still have the financial aid paperwork to do. They are going to be all up in my biz. I bet they say I drink too much Starbucks. And they would be right. But since it helps with my headaches, I consider it part of my medication regiment. Maybe I can get my doctor to write a prescription for it.
I feel pretty good, but still have the cough. No fevers or anything else that would lead me to think it's an infection, but it's still bothersome to me. I'm also really damn sore in my hipbones. Lots of moving around and bending, etc, so I wonder if that is it. It's right where I have my bone marrow biopsies. It could be because I'm nearing the big 4-0. I was going to have a birthday party fundraiser, but I have decided that it's a pain to plan my own party. Not to mention too much work and not enough fun. So dinner and a movie it is.
I am missing Zoe like crazy, but am enjoying being alone for a change. I like the solitude and the not having to talk to anyone if I don't want to. I've been eating super healthy and I feel well. Although tonight I have had a hard time sleeping. I bet I sleep the afternoon away.
That's about it. Claire says she misses me. Well I miss you all too. I miss you all a whole damn lot.
Hugs to Claire, The SWLF Sisters, D1, Ctal, Meerkat, Dbanana, Paige, Cali Stephanie, Mrs. H, Linda T, Cody's Mom Bren, Emily G, Patrick P, GJulie (hugs hugs hugs), Dave, Dandees, Allison, Dawn, Dad (Happy Father's Day), Pam C, Robin, Traci, Miah, Sandra, Jake's Meridith, Day (get well soon), Collins, Ms. Pants, Sis #1 and #2 (Guatamala bound), Denise K, Cheryl, Amanda, Lisa, My ATC nurses, and nurse Vicki, Kami and Cami (Happy belated b-day to you!). Not sure who all has stuck around the joint anymore. It's been awfully quiet around here. And I still miss Brenda.
I want a date. I haven't been on a real date in a long long time. It makes me feel like a boy.
I can do this. My hair is insane, but I can do this.
Your assignment for today is to drink a lot of water. It was 91 here in Austin today and I swept the garage of bunny and dog hair all morning. I was wearing a mask and gloves, but damn it was hot. So I chugged a hot tub of water today. Refreshing! Plus it makes my skin look pretty. Which is good when your hair looks like a crazed camel.

Posted by: Angie at June 19, 2007 07:20 AMHi! I'm around - just not much of a commenter!
Posted by: clandestine at June 19, 2007 08:20 AMI'm here! I stop by and/or read almost daily. I simply suck at commenting almost everywhere lately. Hugs to you too dearie.
Posted by: traci at June 19, 2007 11:46 AMWow, would you come housesit for me? We have the dog hair and cat hair combo goin' on here and it sucks to deal with it in 90*F heat!
You're going to need a vaca from the vaca if you overwork yourself!
I just got a haircut because I couldn't cope with the mess I had. Now I know what to call it since you're so adept with words... crazed camel hair.
Be well - you sound like you're gloriously ... you. Busy, tuned in to your bod, enjoying the nuances of life around you and thinking of others.
Posted by: Bren/Cody'sMom at June 19, 2007 12:48 PMOh yeah - HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Sis #3!!
(I swear it's also the parents of kids with cancer that end up with chemo-brain!)

Posted by: lynne at June 20, 2007 03:13 AMhappy birthday to sis #3! :)
Posted by: christie at June 20, 2007 08:29 AMI'm still here, Deb, and I'm still praying for you. It's good to see you enjoying a vacation. Mine starts tomorrow. I'm going to hang out with the hippies in Telluride at the Bluegrass festival and try to get them to explain how Counting Crows and Los Lobos are "bluegrass".
Have you decided on the movie for the big birthday? Waitress is pretty good.
See what you can do to shake that cough and have another Starbucks. Take care, Deb.
I enjoyed my solitude a whole damn lot. Now, if only I hadn't caught hell about it from my mother and my husband, I'd be GOLDEN.
Let's go get you a date on swingers.com.
Posted by: kami at June 20, 2007 10:08 AMHey girl - I'm still here - reading all of the time just not commenting much. I'm sure Zoe is missing you just as much but its good that you are getting a little "me" time. I think you need to post a new picture of your hair because I bet you look BEAUTIFUL, as you always do.
Big hugs
