There isn't too much to report on with regard to my health. I am still on ten mg of Prednisone. Having bloodwork on Friday. Going to see my primary care physician tomorrow. Mom is back to work. She is looking for a new job closer to the city.

Went to Provincetown last weekend. We had an amazing time. I didn't want to return to Boston. We stayed at the Sandpiper Beach House. If you ever get the chance to stay here.....do. It was beautiful. We had a wonderful view of the harbor....a nice deck...access to a private beach...two bathrooms...all new appliances (microwave, dishwasher, stove)...everything is brand new...they only opened up in April......a nice gas fireplace (It was cold enough to use last weekend)....DVD player.........VCR....etc., etc. We had a lot of fun outside of the apartment too. We ran into my friend over at SighClub who I haven't seen in an age. It was great to see her. CabaretFest was going on so we got to see a lot of good entertainment. We went to a parade on Saturday and got to see the Cheer NY Cheer Squad and Dance Team, the South Philadelphia String Band, the Manchester Muchachos, and the Connecticut Alumni Drum and Bugle Corps. We also spent quite a bit of our time this weekend eating. We consumed had yummy espresso shakes and pizza at Spiritus, and had wonderful dinners at the Red Innthe Martin House,and Clem and Ursies. We also had a tasty brunch at the Mews on Sunday. I ran into my friend Juan who was working at the restaurant. We dated each other for a week in junior high. six years later we both came out of the closet. I also forgot to mention that we saw a cute movie called Latter Days while we were there. And we also rented these great seven speed beach cruiser bikes. They were a lot of fun. Very different than driving my mountain bike. I loved it. Oh yes......and this past weekend was the Monumental Yard Sale in Provincetown. So....we got to go to a bunch of yard sales. I didn't buy anything, but it was fun looking. See why I didn't want to leave?

Today is a historic day in the history of Massachusetts and this country. Massachusetts became the first state in this country to allow gays and lesbians to marry today. You can read all about it at MassEquality. I'm a proud lesbian living in the first state in the country to take such a stand. Pretty cool huh? Our Governor might be an idiot....but our Supreme Judicial Court has it going on.

Mom is back to work part time and looking for other employment. Her current commute to work is awful. Things with my liver appear to be going well. Still on 10 mg Prednisone. Am having bloodwork in two weeks. I was looking closely at myself yesterday....and I think my cheeks look bigger. No one else agrees. I have been eating like a hog lately too.

I was looking at some pictures of myself from about 12 or 13 years ago last night. Word of advice....never do this. I am a young person....only 30.....but for the first time in my life i could really see how I had aged in comparison. I used to be thin....and had amazing skin.......these days I'm heavy and my pores are getting a little larger. Argh! I'm trying hard. I do my pilates tape....and I walk...and I have been trying to eat better.

My life has been busy. Cynthia's shower was nice. Mothers day was yummy at Oleana. We also took a trip to Krispy Kreme. Having lunch with a friend visiting form out of town on Saturday. Going to a movie at the Gay/Lesbian Film Festival at the MFA on Sunday. Going to Provincetown the weekend after next. Had coffee with Mary T. last night..getting together with Mary P. tonight. Enjoyed mexican food with Joanie on Tuesday.

My friend Dawn has a new website. Click here to see it.

I noticed this weekend that I am finally showing side effects of the Prednisone. My skin has been more oily than usual and I'm breaking out like an adolescent. I also see the normal peach fuzz on my upper lip and cheeks getting a little bit longer and more noticeable. My mother says she can hardly see it. I'm self conscious about the whole thing.

Mom started back to work on Monday. She plans on working three days a week for now.

Things with my liver are pretty uneventful.

Did pilates this morning. Walked to the T on Monday and Tuesday.
