crap

My platelet count is too low to have chemo today. This happened last time so I guess we will have chemo next week. Bummer..... I m getting the transfusion now and waiting on lunch. Since Drew is at my house I will wait and go home tomorrow. I think I am going to make some kebobs and grill them tonight. Lamb kabobs and couscous and some green beans or some sort of veggie. Y know it is weird, I am not so in to the veggies since chmeo. salad is cool, greens and cabbage don't agree with my system. Cauliflower tastes weird and I am burned out on broccoli and asparagus. Never having been a fan of kale or chard, they are in the yuck category. Mustard greens are my very favorite along with spinach. Squash too, oh wait squash casserole is my fav. I will make that.
I am soooo frigging bored today. i think I have and hour or 1.5 hours left and then maybe I will take rid to Chastaion to walk. He will think that is awesome. or maybe we will walk around capital city for a bit. I am feeling peppy after this blood.
OK I will keep everyone posted on the latest and greatest news.
Peace......

  1. hey ellen, i feel like i wrote you this already... so if this is a repeat, apologies in advance. one of my fondest memories of being neighbors is the night we had an impromptu meal out on your patio. i made this vidalia onion salad that was delicious. sorry, i don't remember what you made! i only remember the wine and the salad! ha! i recently made that same salad for the first time in forever, and it is still delicious. roasted vidalia onions, walnuts, blue cheese, loads of greens, with a yummy dressing full of fresh parsley. to make it more a meal, i added some quinoa to it. scrumptious! yummmmmmmmm! anyways, i toasted you that night! so glad you're feeling better. sorry you're not so into the veggies lately, but yeah, your squash casserole is the best. :-)

  3. honey, if i could afford to, i would! actually, i'd move back to atlanta in a heartbeat if they could get a handle on the crime. seriously, i have never felt more unsafe than the 13 years i lived there. i didn't know what a psychological toll it took until i'd been in NYC for a few years and realized i didn't worry about it all the time. here in fort worth, it's practically non-existent, and i live in a neighborhood much like grant park, only probably more like east atlanta now that i think about it. and i don't worry at all. so yeah, i miss atlanta and my friends and you and the neighborhood and my house AND THE FOOD but i'm only good for visits for the time being! which i hope to do in the spring next year. no more vacation until after the holidays. you know retail....

    so glad you're doing better! i miss you and wish i were closer!
