Woke up at 11:30. Remember the days when I couldn’t sleep past 4 am?  Oh, chemo, I miss you.

Speaking of chemo, it turns out that not only has all my hair not fallen out, but it’s gotten long enough to warrant a cut. This I got from my dear friend Sasha, new mom to a beautiful baby. And for the second time is as many days, cancer picked up the tab.

Kaki and I went to a restaurant we like in West Marin, about 40 miles away.  It was a nice romantic drive in a gentle rain. When we got there, however, we looked at the menu and both decided we weren’t that excited about it. So we turned around and turned our romantic 40-mile drive into a romantic 80-mile drive. 80 miles later we arrived at Millenium, which is about three miles from my house. Millenium is one of our favorite restaurants. I love it because it’s the best food I’ve ever had. Kaki loves it because it’s the best food she’s ever had, and everything on the menu is vegan, so she can eat it all (Though Kaki is not vegan she is highly allergic to cow’s milk). The food there is exquisite – it tastes like butter is the first ingredient.  For dessert we had chocolate mousse tart, chocolate cake, and a lemon curd ginger ice cream. Eat-a-thon continues!

Spent the morning writing journal entries from previous days. Seems a little “meta” to be writing that.

Had lunch at Slow Club with Cal. I had a cheeseburger, which marked the beginning of my eat-a-thon: a days-long mission to eat as much of as many different types of food while I still can.

In that spirit, after I ate with Cal I stopped off at Dottie’s True Blue Café for a hearty late-afternoon breakfast. Kurt (aka Dottie) bought my lunch. Thanks, cancer! (gives thumbs up)

Friday at 2 pm I began my  5 days off from work before surgery. Kaki and I spent the night with Kaki ‘s favorite addiction, Arrested Development.

Note to Jason, those bootlegged discs of AD failed in the middle of the Charlize Theron episode. Some friend.
