Second Chances Are All the Rage These Days...

The doctor says I'll be in here another few days to make sure the trend stays on track, because my white count is 1.1 today! They want the total count to be above 2.0 and the neutrophil count to be around 1.5. I still feel queasy two or three times a day and am on so many medications you'd think I'm a card carrying AARP member already... that's life though! My parents are eating fajitas from a really good local Mexican place called Antonio's, of all places. It's not as good as the greasy spoons we have back home in El Paso (like La Pila down by Ysleta HS - thank you Norma! I can't wait to get back to eating those gorditas with you!), but they do a good job coming close. I, on the other hand, am lucky if I can get half a grilled cheese down. I am very fatigued just sitting here typing and I don't know when the dry heaves will come back, but for those of you who know the line... it don't mean nothin'! These are all temporary symptoms and I'm sure I'll get through them like I have for the past year and a half. I know that most of you started being Muse fans either from being Twilight fans (Neutron Star Collision and Supermassive Black Hole) or V fans (Uprising). I, on the other hand, liked the band before they were cool... so, there! So, here's the title track from their 2003 album Absolution. This song fits today's mood very well. If you like Muse's new stuff I suggest you go all the way back to their album Showbiz and get on Grooveshark to listen to some of their earlier stuff like Unintended, Muscle Museum, and Uno. I'm sure I'll think of something more intellectual to post for tomorrow, right now I'm pretty exhausted.
