Wednesday, January 3, 2007 10:24 AM CST Things have been going here. I was going to say great or good going but then just decided to leave it at things are going because sometimes they are good, sometimes they are great and sometimes things just plain suck.
Eamon and I are still living in the same place in Queens. I know we move all time so I just figured I would fill you in on that.
Okay, so school is going pretty well. This semester I took Chemistry and Biology.
Eamon and I spent the last week in San Diego. We totally, absolutely loved it. Here is a cool pic of us in San Diego for New Years Eve:
Arent we cute? My hair is finally long enough now that I am actually quite content with it. I do need it to get much much longer but at least it looks nice and not all boyish.
How is my health you ask? Well maybe you didnt, but I figured you wanted to know since you logged on to my site. So, my health is okay. I am still struggling with my weight which will probably be a lifetime struggle and fully my fault. I just eat too damn much. I love food and it loves me back. I am getting much better though. Eamon and I are eating far healthier than we did before and doing our best to eat less and ride our bikes more.
As for the Hodge, I am still in remission. I do have lingering side affects such as slight breathing issues and arthritis in my chest bone which causes me some discomfort. I also have terrible chemo brain at times. Sometimes it drives me crazy. What it does is cause complete blankness when trying to think of things. I could be in the middle of an everyday conversation with someone and then all of a sudden, my mind goes completely blank and I lose all my thoughts and where I am going in the conversation. It can be funny except not so much when I am talking to my boss or other superiors at work. It also sucks when I am at school. Its hard to explain how completely blank my mind will get. Supposedly, researchers are now taking chemo brain seriously and are looking into it and ways they can try to fix it and help people with their memories and thoughts. It will be interesting to see what comes of the research, if anything at all.
Nothing much else interesting going on. If I can think of anything else, I will write more. I hope everyone is doing well and is in good health. Here's to a wonderful 2007 and to telling 2006 not to let the door hit it in the ass on the way out.
Love to all.
