Local folks, if you are eligible and wish to do so, please consider donating to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mustelidmania. She's receiving chemo now and will need lots of platelets. Your blood type need not match hers--platelets are cool like that.

If you live in or around the Charlottesville, Virginia area, you can contact Virginia Blood Services or UVA Hospital (as soon as I get the numbers, I'll post them here, but no doubt they're in the phone book) and ask for information on how to donate blood to reserve for Sharon Elizabeth Allen.
Sharon is one of the neatest ladies I know. She serves as surrogate goth mother to many a Cville goth. She's also been a rescue ferret mommy for years *and* raised two lovely young men all on her own. She's been pretty sick, though, and we're hoping that she starts to feel much better in a few months.
There's more information in her journal and insolieri's. rozzgoth might have info, too--I haven't checked today.
I can't donate--the CDC and Red Cross still fear an unknown pathogen in fibro/CFIDS. So, I'm encouraging YOU to donate.
If you aren't local and are eligible, please consider donating blood or platelets to your local blood center. I understand completely that some folks have political and other personal reasons against donating, but those who feel comfortable with it--please give.

Mar. 23rd, 2004 11:27 amSo... moonphyre is in town. He's coming over and then we'll head downtown for lunch or something. *And*, he can look for jobs. Woooohoooo! I'll make sure I take him down to see xiane at Coyote and stuff.
I need to put suitable outside-the-house clothing on. I just put my eyedrops in, so in a few minutes--contact lenses.
Going out in the pollen might be dumb, but walking is the only thing which helps me breathe.

Mar. 23rd, 2004 02:21 pmi don't know why my doctors think i'm not active. i think i'm more active than the majority of sedentary computer/desk job people--i just get exhausted from being active. more exhausted than is normal... i walk every day (a minimum of a mile, usually two) that i can stand up without falling back down. in winter, it's cold, so that walk is a brisk walk. if i get decent sleep, those standing-up-without-blacking-out days are every day. if i can't sleep, i don't walk anywhere--the bathroom is about all i can handle.
today, i walked downtown withmoonphyre. we hopped the trolley to the corner, walked down to see xiane. we wandered around the academical village. then we walked home via downtown (easily two miles right there). i'm getting ready to walk downtown and back, though i'd really like to die. ;)
must see mercury... must see mercury. it's most easily seen from the bridge over the tracks. over here, there are houses and trees in the way.
had fun chatting with brian today. he wouldn't let me feed him supper, though, he had to go do stuff. i'm eating broccoli (well, ate it already) with butter and garlic and homemade lentil soup. i cheated on the soup--used canned lentils and boxed broth. it's still good, especially with parmesan garlic pita chips.
