Let's see
So did I mention that I'm currently radioactive?
I'm going through my radioactive iodine therapy which is relatively innocuous but I have to be isolated in a room for 2 days so I'm a little lonely. I'm in the guest bedroom and it's not that bad. I have stuff to do, but I can't touch anybody and can't be within close proximity. Nao's been throwing me food through the door. LOL. It's actually not too bad. I have 2 day rules and seven day rules. No pets or children for 7, which means my snobby bitchy little cat who never needs me for anything suddenly can't get enough of me. Sheesh.
Have had some weird dreams. Chemo has thus far been gentler on me than first time. The 15th is my last treatment. Three weeks after that I'm done with chemo and it's on to radiation. Really I'm soldiering on. It's annoying to be so tired when I'm usually so active but it is forcing me to relax so that's probably a good thing.
My student lent me her PS2 so I've been playing Kingdom Hearts occasionally. It's fun. I'm just not really a gamer. I have my favorites, but I have no interest in having a system.
Been spending a lot of time thinking about house projects I plan to do. Want to bleach my kitchen cabinets and build a cement path to the back deck and such. Nice to just sit and plan those things out. WE also got a crapload of home depot cards for our wedding so seriously getting into how to finish the basement. It'll pay for the lumber and drywall at least so yay!
I'm gonna break down and finally go to Nan Desu Kan this year. Nice since I've lived here all my life and never been.
Also gonna be Neji at Ycon so that I can use the silver contacts I couldn't use at my wedding because I forgot them. Grrrrr.
My co workers have been so good to me. They made me a beautiful wedding album which I never would have done myself. They also gave me fabric for headscarves. Haven't sat down to sew them up yet Was trying to get my mom to do it but though she helps me with food and plants and dishes and stuff, she still spends most of her time sitting on her ass and watching our TV. It's driving Nao and me crazy but she still helps a lot and he wants her help when I'm really sick.
I wanted to cook Indian food for people this weekend but then they decided on the RAI treatment so I had to put all that off. That's a lot of energy for me, but I actually felt like I'd have it this weekend. I'm really tired today though so maybe it's best to wait a week.
Did I mention I'm radioactive? I can't get over that. It's so fun to say.
I've also been in a mood to buy some cute new outfits from Wet Seal. And this is a person who does not shop. Isolation kinda killed that yen too. That's okay though. Next paycheck. My idea of shopping is renting a movie from itunes. But I figure I deserve it. I've been through a lot.
Still bald, though I look more like a porcupine with mange than like cool type. I could shave the other bits off, but I'm not sure it's even worth bothering with. I rarely even wear my wig. Just headscarves. So much easier. At least I haven't yet lost my eyelashes or eyebrows. I may not. That's cool because the painted on look is not me. I may have gotten stick on or something.
I got some writing done in Hawaii, but otherwise the vacation was miserable. I spent the whole time vomiting up everything I ate and being weak as a kitten. I did get some snorkling in. Just had to throw up afterward. We also got to Volcano National and that was fun, despite the barfing. My poor dad probably suffered more than I did ultimately.
So that's the long update. I'm sure there's more, but it's late and I'm out of energy. I went through some of LJ. Which was good. I've been remiss. Love all you guys.
