february

it's hard for me to believe that it is february...crazy. i'm not just about 3 weeks from my trip to Niger. i'm thinking more about it....but not about packing. i'm not a procrastinator in many areas of my life, but packing for a trip has become one of the areas! i just think it is because i am so good at it now that it doesn't take long!

before that trip, i'm heading out to new york city to go wedding dress shopping with Angie, her mom, and possibly one or two of her bridesmaids. it should be fun...but i'm packing a lot in a couple weeks. i really better focus on getting things done this weekend (i said that last weekend...and did get a little accomplished!)

if anyone has any drug samples from doc's that they work with or know, i would appreciate anything. they asked me to bring some drugs, but due to the new regulations on pharmacutical companies and the fact the MD Anderson doesn't allow samples it has made it difficult to come across any to bring with me. also, all of my PA friends either work in crazy specific sub-specialties or they shipped any extra drugs they had to haiti. give me a call or e-mail if you have any connections...i'll pay for the shipping!

i've been feeling "off" the past couple of days. i'm still going to work and doing the daily events, but having consistent low grade nausea and the blahs...i'm not the best sick person and it makes me all the more empathetic to my patients. although chemo dosing and side effect management has come a LONG way, it still stinks to have symptoms from the cancer...and side effects from treating the cancer. yuck!
