Iron-deficiency SUCKS. This is the worst I’ve ever had it.
All I’ve been doing the past three days is sleeping… or wishing I could be sleeping.
Everyday tasks such as climbing out of bed and walking up a flight of stairs takes about 20x’s the effort.

Oh, and if only those headaches would GO AWAY.
It’s times like these when you realize who really matters in your life. I’m currently questioning what it means for someone to be a true friend.

I find that it means people who truly care even though it may be an inconvienience to themselves.
The people that actually realize that you aren’t acting normal.
The people who go out of their way to see you happy again.

Rachel and her roommates are the biggest blessing ever. One person in her room also gets anemia. She could relate to me and has been helping out a lot.

Rachel went grocery shopping for me today getting all the iron-rich foods that I can’t afford right now.

And as always, Eric never fails to be there when I need him most.
I’m hoping to recover this week (thank goodness it’s an easy week for me.) I’m on a very iron-rich diet (that I could never have had without Rachel’s help)
Enough about that though.

The highlight of this weekend was seeing my good friend and PLIA team member, Tracy, again.

She, Chris, Travis and I had the most wonderful night of playing cards in the old raquetball court, playing around in the greenhouse, making coffeecake and eating it with coffee cake ice cream, then drinking chai tea and playing Donkey Konga until late. I miss Tracy.

Here is us eating our coffee-cake yumness:

So my head is about to hit the keyboard in exhaustion. Good night everybody
