ANOTHER GOOD DAY-LEAVING TOMORROW

WELL MY TEAM JUST ROUNDED AND IF ALL GOES WELL THEY WILL LET ME LEAVE TOMORROW AFTERNOON. I WILL FINISH UP THE 7 DAY PORTION OF THE 3 AND 7 AND THEN POOF, LIKE THE WIND BE OUT OF HERE. TODAY THEY ARE GOING TO GIVE ME 2 UNITS OF RBC'S SINCE MY BLOOD COUNT HAS DROPPED TO 24% (HGB 8.3). THAT WILL HELP ME HAVE MORE ENERGY I AM SURE. THOSE RED CELLS ARE PRETTY DARN CRITICAL TO GETTING UP AND MOVING AROUND.

WHICH BRINGS ME TO A REQUEST FOR ALL OF YOU OUT THERE ITCHING TO DO SOMETHING TO HELP ME. DONATE BLOOD. I AM O+ SO THE UNIVERSAL DONOR BUT NOT THE UNIVERSAL ACCEPTOR. I AM GOING TO NEED BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS ON AND OFF STARTING TODAY. SO EVEN IF YOU'RE TYPE DOESN'T MATCH MINE, CONSIDER HEADING TO THE RED CROSS OR ELSEWHERE TO SAVE SOMEONE ELSE'S LIFE WITH LEUKEMIA.

STARTING READING MY NEW BOOK "PREDICTABLY IRRATIONAL" AT 2AM LAST NIGHT WHEN I COULDN'T SLEEP. COOL STUDIES OG PEOPLE'S BEHAVIOUR. WE'LL DRIVE ACROSS TOWN TO SAVE $7 OF A FANCY PEN TO GIVE AS A GIFT. BUT WON'T DRIVE ACROSS TOWN TO SAVE $7 ON A FANCY SUIT THAT COSTS $289, EVEN WHEN WE KNOW WE CAN PURCHASE IT ELSEWHERE FOR $282. DOEN'T MAKE SENSE DOES IT?

SO MANY NICE PEOPLE HAVE CALLED OR COME BY OR EMAILED OR JOIN THE BLOG. IT REALLY HAS MADE THE DIFFERENCE FOR ME. THE ROOM HERE ON 9202 IS QUITE SMALL AND ALL OF YOU HAVE ENLARGED IT IMMENSELY BY BEING IN THE LOOP.
THANKS FOR THAT. -TAF

being in the loop reminded me of a great book we have on tape: The Loop, a novel about re-introduction of wolves in Monatanna (Wyoming?).
Are you interested in audio book? if so, we can loan it.
