serene1) Early July, they'll give me a small dose of radioactive iodine (RAI), then do a whole-body scan. If they find any sign of cancer, they'll give me a big dose of RAI and I'll have to do that isolation thing I did last year. Either way, I need to do the low-iodine diet in June. At least this time, I won't have to go off my meds, so I won't have to be mondo exhausted. There's this shot they can give you to artificially stimulate your thyroid cells rather than making you go off your meds. Oh, and by the way? Fuck cancer.
2) The Best Grandboss Ever may have found 3 or 4 weeks' worth of funding for my two-month furlough, so I may have less to worry about money-wise than I did last week. Fortunately, it's the opposite of a Catch-22, because I would love the extra money, but I also would love the time off, so either way, I'm golden.
3) Between the radiation, the furlough, and the tax audit (which isn't looking good, for a couple reasons I don't feel like talking about), I've decided not to go to NOLOSE. I was very thrilled about going, but I sat with the idea of not going for a week or two, and I feel really okay about not going. So I'm not going.
4) Munchkin The Elder started Job Corps on Monday. He had a terrible first morning (homesick, wanted to quit, called and begged to be allowed to, etc.), but then he met some friends and settled in a little. Now he seems okay with it. I'll talk to him more this weekend, and I'll fly him up when he gets off for summer break (not sure when that will be yet).
5) I'm reading your journals and commenting once in a while, but mostly, I putter around my house, go to work, and play Alchemy. Don't have the energy for much else, probably due to the increased doses of beta blockers I'm on to counteract the side effects of the *massive* amounts of thyroid hormones I'm on for cancer suppression. Did I mention that cancer sucks? I have so many things I'd like to do: some writing projects I want to work on; my blogs; and so on. But I go to work, come home, fix dinner, clean up, and go to bed. And, really, so long as I don't get too mad at myself about that, it's a satisfying way to spend my days.
