So I went to give blood today, you know cause they say it saves lives and all, and I was too low in iron. I have never had a problem giving blood before. I think this means I'm not eating enough meat. Allie was saying earlier how she had essentially become a vegetarian since meat is expensive, and I didn't realize that apparently I have been too. To a lesser extent. Makes the lightheadedness make a whole lot more sense now! Also I went to the doctor again last week for a follow up appointment for my foot. (Not the left toe, but the right foot. good grief). And he wants me to get a bone scan which I'm not even going to try to schedule until I get back to cville. But basically it looks like it could be a while before I run again. let alone play frisbee. like...more than a year long. and probably no other form of exercise that puts stress on my feet. so yes. there's that.
Let's see, at the DRC we are still doing a ton of obs. The only time we sit is for a quick lunch and sometimes if we're really lucky, to enter obs in the computer. Although I have seen a lot of cool things. Like lots and lots of dolphin sex. and something that apparently is called sonar sex which I will discuss later. Oh, and today they moved two of the dolphin moms out of the maternity pod which caused some excitement. But i heard that the babies are doing well, which is good. Yesterday was Thanksgiving (obvi) but I did have to go into the DRC to do obs until turkey dinner at 2. Which I was late to cause of various reasons. I wasn't too torn up about it, since we (myself and cornell) got to get some serious dolphin love. I got to give signals! and feel their heartbeat, and give standing handshakes and zinc the dolphins (which we do for obs) and of course get backrubs. so that was kind of amazing. then i zoomed over to kris' for food, and then went to work. woooooot for working on thanksgiving.
aight, there's some kind crisis involving magically appearing insect eggs falling out of the ceiling, so i gotta run. enjoy the rest of november!

Hey, when do you get back to C'ville? I know I've asked before but I can't remember the answer.
And I hope all of the medical issues go of without a hitch.
Xtine if it wouldn't be weird and probably really painful for both of us, I'd give you my feet since fuck knows I don't use 'em.
Glad to hear you had a dolphin-love filled Thanksgiving! Kinda creepy how much dolphin sex you're watching, though.
And you're coming back soon, right? And to DC soon? Right? Xtine? RIGHT?
ok so the insect eggs falling from the ceiling is probably the worst thing I've ever heard. Just that one sentence gave me the shivers. I hope your bones get better and that there is even MORE dolphin sex in your future. In the meantime eat some spinach like popeye and you'll be running and fighting goons in no time!
