LID Tomorrow

I officially start my LID (low iodine diet) tomorrow.
I was told I need to just do this for a week, which technically means I could start on Thursday, but I figured I could use the first 2~3 days as practice... make sure I don't screw up!

I went out to the supermarket yesterday with C to pick up my food for the week.
Stocked up on blueberries, strawberries, celery, matzo crackers, applesauce, onions, bell peppers, fresh corn (yum! I love corn season!), etc.
I guess this could help me lose a few pounds! =)
Who knows, maybe I could also change my regular diet into a little more healthier lifestyle.

Also made whole wheat bread last night as well.  I'll be mostly living off of this bread, fruits and fresh vegetables.  Also basmati rice, when I have my carb cravings (which I normally never do).

4 more days of work and I'm outta here! Yay! Took a month off for July for my treatment and do some thinking about my future, my career goals, my path in life.  I really need this.  So I have a pretty busy week next week as well!
I decided to spend Monday with my baby sister to celebrate an early birthday (as I'll be radioactive on her actual birth date - which totally sucks)!
Tuesday, I go for a blood test and first thyrogen shot. Gonna go home after and set up the space in my living room where I'll be sleeping while radioactive.
Wednesday, second thyrogen shot. And will be meeting my friend who came down for the summer from Illinois.
Thursday - 5 mcI of RAI, scan, 100mcI RAI and go home.

Let the isolation time begin.

It worked out perfectly that C has a place to stay while I'm in isolation.  A great friend will be moving to a new place in a few days and offered C to stay with him while I am getting treatment.
It's a little unnerving though.  C and I've never been apart for more than 1 night in the last God-knows-how-long.  Sheesh.  I guess this will be good for me as well.  I will be taking this alone time to really figure out who I am, who I want to be, what I want to do, etc.  It's gonna be a total reflection on my life up until this moment, then into the future of who I want to be.

Had a tiring weekend driving to/from Baltimore to visit my new niece O.  She's such a sweet little thing.  Had a good time visiting but it's definitely not something I want to do often.  The drive is just so long and tiring.  It really drains you.

Anyway, enough blabbing I guess.  I am very tired today and I feel scatterbrained.  I am having a hard time focusing...
