Lazy and Weird

Lazy Saturday Morning

Feeling Lazy

Just got my morning cup o' go juice at the local Starbucks. As I was walking back, decided to take a picture of the streetcar tracks.  I don't know why.

Twenty days left in the magical 100 days. 115 days since the transplant. Earlier this week, I took Pam back up to the Rat Maze because she was not doing at all well. This fatigue, nausea, vomiting were getting out of hand.  After ruling out any serious setbacks, they put her back on a low dose of prednisone.  It was like magic.  By the next day, she was feeling OK and every meal was no longer an adventure.  Plan is to taper this relatively low dose of prednisone very slowly. Minor bump in the road, but it does mean that she will be on insulin longer, and will probably need to keep her central catheter in for a while.

Cancun

In a couple of weeks, I am going to Cancun for a few days to attend my niece, Rachael's wedding. I have only met her fiance, Clay, once, but he seems like a great kid. (Kid... he is an attorney, he may be over 30 for all I know. I have no idea. Crap I'm old.) Anyway, Pam and I are happy for both of them.

It will be good seeing my parents, sisters and their families. I am sure we will have a good time, but it is hard for me to look forward to it when I have to leave Pam here.

She is going to stay with her parents during that time, and I'm sure her Dad will enjoy doting on her for a while.  I think Pam is looking forward to getting out of here for a few days.

Weird and Getting Weirder

One of my favorite blogger - philosophers is a guy named Seth Godin. I highly recommend his blog to anyone. He just wrote another post explaining that we are all weird, and getting weirder. Seth's Blog. Turns out "Zylin" is becoming one of the top 1000 most common names for babies these days.

One of my many weirdnesses is skimming through the obits almost every day.  I have them delivered to my email from the Oregonian. It is kind of funny, because the email comes in titled Your Daily Obituaries.  Now that is weird.

I don't know why, but reading about the extraordinary lives that have been led by ordinary people like you and me is inspiring.

Very weirdly yours....
