I woke up at about 5am and could not fall back into dreamland. That's OK because I am die for a blog update. I'll be typing this out on my iPhone as not to wake Cliff up. Maybe I'm too anxious to start making calls in the morning and getting things rolling. I still have a few things to straighten out before I know for sure that I will get my second cycle of chemotherapy. Yesterday Cliff took me to the social security office and we set up an appointment by phone to apply for disability and Medicaid. I plan to appeal the denial of they do in fact deny me. The denial will occur a few months down the line. The representative told me I have a very slim chance of being approved. I'm still going to push for it.
Later today, after I take care of business, I'll be making cupcakes with Boh! We're making them as a thank you to my employer and the associates of Merritt Island TJMaxx. They did an amazing thing that I totally never expected. They collected donations by selling hot dogs in front of the store to support my cause. A few employees also got involved and baked things to help out without even being asked or coaxed in any way. I was certainly moved at how thoughtful and cute it was of them to do that for me. I am still stunned but I so appreciate it. I won't disclose the amount. It wasn't a fortune but it was enough to help with some things.
Before the cupcakes and fun with Boh, I have to pick up my HIV medication. I also have to stop at Osler Medical to get a shot in my arm to stimulate the production of white blood cells. Apparently my last lab results indicated a very low white blood cell count. As much as I don't like the idea of forcing my bones to make more cells I cannot argue much.
It's now 7:01 and I'm thinking about French flippin' toast and eggs. Ah but there's no bread! Curse you pantry of breadless misery and disappointment! Curse Youuu!!! Alas, I must wait until at least 8 before I start waking the house with breakfast noise. Perhaps eggs and veggie sausage instead! :)
