Dad. Well Dad is the best. My beloved laptop power source is crapping out, I woke up to a brand new Toshiba Satellite A215. Um. It's FINE!!! (although I'm not used to the keyboard and keep mis-typing). It's so James Bond. It's got a fingerprint scanner on it. I'm also allowed to be on he Dad repayment plan. Monthly payments to pay off this great computer. I nicknamed her Uma.
I agreed to be an honored patient at the Lone Star Circle of Life Bike Ride. I'm not quite sure what I have to do yet, but it's a pretty big deal.
I'll post more when I know more.
From their site (and partially for Leukemia Awareness Month)
Did you Know...
One out of every 20 Texans will need blood at some point of their lives.
Each year, over 30,000 new patients are diagnosed with a life-threatening disease that may be cured with a marrow transplant.
It takes eight whole blood donations to provide the effective dose of one apheresis blood donation.
Each day, an average of 17 people die while waiting for an organ.
There are over 77 organs and tissues that can be transplanted.
Each year 20 million blood components are transfused.
There are currently 87,000 people awaiting a life-saving organ transplant — 5,800 of those are in Texas!
Ok. Too busy playing to post more today. I got a little bit of sleep, but I think it's a Tylenol PM kind of night.
