i am still alive

I'm back

  • I'm back after a 3 day hiatus. I was doing a few fill-ins at KKIQ for the last few nights, and now I'm back here at Family Radio one more night until the weekend. I'm so glad it's the weekend, and I'm so exhausted. Okay let me give ya the report from the doctor, least the good part. I'm not diabetic, but I should probably watch my sugar anyway. I have good cholesterol. My blood pressure is still in the slightly high range, but no medication yet, just watch my caffeine and salt. My thyroid is fine. I lost 3 lbs since my last doctor visit. I'll give the bad news in a minute. Keep your pants on.
  • For some reason this week, I've been in contact with friends I haven't seen in a while, some of them for like a decade or more. It's been awesome. Michael called on Tuesday (or was it Wed?), and we talked about my car. I know you're reading this, Michael. Hi!! Let's hit up La Pinata!! (waving enthusiastically). Fernando called on Wednesday, about my car. My new car is the talk of the town, folks. Okay I talk to Fern/Michael every so often and we do see each other, but still it was nice to hear from good friends. Also on Wednesday I heard from Reyes here on Myspace, a friend from elementary school that I haven't spoken to in about 17 years. I've known her since kindergarten. My friend Bethany from high school called on Thursday evening from Utah. Isn't that cool when you hear from folks you haven't talked to in forever? It makes me feel loved. I love all you guys. Group hug!!!
  • Finally got my car insurance straightened out, and my new paperwork should be arriving soon. Also finally got justice from Hayward Toyota bout my broken XM antenna. I talked to their general manager on Wednesday afternoon, and I should be getting reimbursed once I get them a price quote. I've been SO busy and sick this week I haven't had time to get back to him on that. I will later today.
:(
  • Okay on to the bummer test results from the doctor. I knew this was coming. Basically, I have anemia due to massive and very constant blood loss from my delightful so-called monthly visitor. I need to start taking iron supplements like 3 times a day. This also explains how exhausted I've been. (well besides my crazyass schedule) I also have to go see a gyno ASAP, I need to make that appointment later today as well. Thought I would share.
  • And I have been sick like a dog. Not a happy dog wagging its tail, but a dog suffering from some cruel painful ailment. Last three days have been spent with a fever, and yesterday/today I've been hacking up lots of green stuff. And I sound like Peter Brady when his voice was changing. I should be picking up some antibiotics later today, so I'll be feeling better shortly.
  • I feel guilty for missing the gym most of this week. I guess I'm afraid I'll keep putting it off and never go back.. maybe. But when you feel like keeling over and your chest hurts, it's probably not a good idea to do aerobic exercise, huh?
