1/24/11 – Hello all!
Question I have pondered since stopping at a gross gas station this weekend: What are people who write on the back on toilet stalls thinking? Honestly? What would your mother think if she knew you wrote your phone number on a toilet stall? Who are these people who deem communication on the back of a bathroom stall as “normal”? I kid you not I saw one that said “Y’all are country BAMA’s”. What does that mean? “country BAMA’s?” Also, how about people who choose the back of stalls to proclaim their love for another person? Thanks, but no thanks. Please never proclaim your love for me on a bathroom stall – no one should ever strive to be THAT special. That’s a whole different level of special – to steal a line from Bill Engvall “here’s your sign”.
I did not get a chance to blog yesterday because I was too busy relaxing. Todd spent the day with Jason playing xbox Call of Duty. He and Jason get so into the game that I start to wonder if the right one of us is seeing a counselor. I kid you not, at one point I said “I love you” and Todd said “she kinda hot for an animated chick”. What?! What just happened? Ashley and I start laughing. Todd had not even heard me!
Todd and I didn’t leave Bambergland until later than usual. We didn’t get home until 1:15, so I think I should be forgiven for not blogging. On our way home Buster hung out in the backseat as usual. Buster did not want Percy to be beside him so I held him the whole way. He decided to crawl up onto my shoulders and road between where my shoulders hit the back of the chair and where my head touched the headrest. It was pretty hilarious. I told Erin that for Halloween I plan to be a pirate and dress Percy as a parrot.
Since we got home late and this was his first time being in our house I couldn’t put Percy in his kennel. How cruel would that be? The only logical thing to do was sacrifice mine and Todd’s comfort and let both of our dogs sleep in the bed. Did I mention that both Buster and Percy like to sleep under the covers? Buster doesn’t have much fur and Percy is just little.
I worked my first full 8 hour day today. I think I did pretty well. At the end of the day I did have a headache but I don’t know if that was because I stared at the computer for 4 hours more than I have in the past week or because I didn’t have any caffeine this morning? I drank a coke and that seemed to make me feel a little better.
Todd and I have always said that Stella is Buster’s pet, so we said that Percy is Stella’s pet. I had no clue how true that was until we brought him home. As soon as we walked in the door Stella was checking him out. Percy is very playful and highly mobile since his is so low to the ground. Last night I fell asleep to Stella (who is already “healthy) eating. It was like I could hear her thought process – “The 2 humans and the big dog are easy, but that little one, that little one, he might cause me some problems. Better bulk up.” Today the real stalking ensued, though I’m not sure who is stalking who. Stella would stalk Percy but then Percy would run directly at her. I could tell this totally threw her off her game. Usually Buster gets in trouble if he runs inside, but Percy is so small he can’t damage the floors. There is nowhere for Stella to hide. Percy is kind of like her personal trainer and she is Percy’s entertainment. It is pretty darn hilarious.
I start chemo tomorrow morning. My appointment is at 9:00 and the chemo is supposed to start at 9:45. I will be hooked up for 6 -7 hours and then be sent home in utter humiliation with my blue fanny pack. Since my taste buds are more than likely subject to change I wanted sushi for my last meal before chemo. Todd and I went to Chin Chin with Scott. We all ate an extraordinary amount of sushi. It was delicious! Krystal’s mom, Lori, made me one of my favorite desserts. So, now I am about to have some apple crisp and vanilla ice cream – yum! We wanted to run by Kroger to pick up some ice cream and I needed to get some of my 7,500 prescriptions. When I was at the pharmacy the tech mentioned that they owed me 10 pills at no charge – which basically means they shorted me 10 pills that I’ve already paid for. I asked the guy if I needed to keep the package that had it marked “owe 10 @ NC” to show to them when I come to claim my missing pills. He said no and then said “are these all your prescriptions?” Hunh? What does that matter? “Yes, they’re all my pills!” Dude! I wanted to say “What does it matter? And, if you would look at the prescription you would see they all have my name on them. What do people normally not get 2 nausea medicines at once along with a numbing cream?” Isn’t the Boy Scout motto “always be prepared”? I’m just trying to be prepared. I am anticipating a good story or two from chemo tomorrow – at least I hope so or else that will be a boring 6 – 7 hours.
I have had all the food I could care to consume today. I had 2 coke Icee’s this weekend so I have met my quota for a few days. My song for today is Katy Perry’s “Firework”. I love this song and we heard it 2 times on our way home last night. It is a total diva song. I’m considering it for my theme song.
Night y’all!
praying for you Shea all the way:) we love you.And Percy is so cute.
