lunatic

That is what I am , and I need a vacation.

Good thing I have one in 2 weeks!

yay!

I am starting to get excited about my trip to Merida. I have never been out side of the country.. save Cananda.. but that does not really count because I grew up 2o miles from the border..

I am really excited about seeing the some Cenotes and going to Chichen-Itza. I am also excited the oppotunity to meet the people of Shalom church.. But I dont have any neat picutures of them.

Hopefully the next couple of weeks go fast.

Very Proud

JS and I did a relay for Life on Friday with on a team that a former co workers wife heads up. It is always a good event and this year it was even better. Last year there was a woman on the team who had stage 4 Melanoma. She had been diagnosed with cancer when pregnant and it was a small miracle that the baby was born fine, because that cancer can spread between mother and fetus. Last year's relay her baby was only a year and doctors where just treating her so that she could spend more time with her son, and they really thought there was no hope.. this year she is in complete remission. Miracles do happen! But she is still often in my prayers as melanoma is a tricky cancer.. and come back very aggressively.

But the main reason i am proud is that JS signed up for the Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3). Even though it required her to give four vials of blood and she hates giving blood. So Bravo JS. I will admit, though that I am a tad jealous.. I wish is could be in long term cancer study too. Stupid thyroid cancer. Or I guess if I look at it.. i am in my own little micro cancer study.. Lets hope I never report a postive finding again.

Shock

I am in Shock that it is almost Memorial Day. Time is flying this year! In less then a month I am going to Merida, and I need to really kick my training for the 3 day up a bit. I have been going to the gym.. but I really need pound some pavement so to speak.

But I am read for Merida.. but not ready for the heat. The normal highs are going to be in the 100s.. and I am a bit worried about that. But we got our itinerary.. and it looks like we will have time to relax by the pool daily.

But the one good thing is that there seems to be some drama with the 3 day volunteer staff member that is supposed to be coordinating the Atlanta crew.. which I am kinda glad about as I will not have to start doing any crew stuff until after Mexico.

Sigh

So I had a physical on Friday and my doctor gently scolded me about my weight.. she wants me to lose at least 15 pound in the next 3 months... and I already have an appointment to follow up then. Sigh. Oh well. I know I need to. So tomorrow I am going to Weight-watchers.. and I am restarting my morning gym workouts, as I just have no time at night.
But I really do like my doctors office.. during my physical I had about 35 minutes of face time with the Doctor and I had a full physical, an EKG and a chest X Ray. All said I was there for about 2 hours.. and only during the last half in hour was I waiting a bit. But I was just waiting for a hepatitis A vaccine.
Wish me luck!
