New York, I Love You (Part 3)

Sunday: On Sunday we got up and met some girls for brunch at 1834 Bar & Burger. The girls were all really nice and they even gave me a scrapbook that I can use to scrapbook about NYC. They filled out the first several pages with some of their favorite [...]

THE Ferriscan

THE Ferriscan

I promised you an entry about this weekend so here it is: Thursday: We left KC around noon and made it to Minneapolis in seven hours. I drove the last six of the seven hours. We took my car this time instead of my mom’s van so that made driving [...]

St. Patrick’s Day 2010

St. Patrick’s Day 2010

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, although technically the day is over. This is the one day of the year that being irish makes you awesome. You may notice that I’m blogging at 3 in the morning. This is not because I just got back from crazy St. Patrick’s Day festivities. Although, [...]

 

Good News

Good News

Dear readers, I’m aware that I haven’t blogged in awhile. Again. I decided not to bore you all with my continual crappiness. The past few weeks have been pretty tough, as have the past few months. For a quick update, I am still doing the iron chelation and the drug [...]

January 2010

Readers, I’ve been quite a lousy blogger these past few weeks. Mostly because I’ve been having a rough time lately and just needed some time to rest up and feel better. Here’s a recap of a pretty mundane few weeks. I really haven’t done anything too exciting lately because I’ve [...]

 

New Years

New Years

Dear readers, It’s officially 2010. This is important for several reasons. First, it’s a new year and that’s always important. Second, it almost (a few days late) marks the official five year anniversary of my diagnosis. Lastly, it signifies a much needed fresh start. Like I said, a new year [...]

 

This Too Shall Pass
