grapefruits, driving out west......
what i forgot to say in the previous entry i did on lemons & limes : "if life hands me grapefruits, i'm screwed big time".
the drug info sheet for one of my medications states: "do not ingest grapefruits or grapefruit juice within four hours of taking this drug". does anyone remember the allergy drug seldane? during the 1990's it was pulled off the market b/c people died after taking it with grapefruit juice. strange stuff. i think i'm okay with oranges though. i just drank some orange juice and am still sitting here typing.

what's on my mind right now:
driving from seattle to denver this summer. i would be *so* psyched to do this....seeing the wild west landscape, the highest mts, my car windows down, warm breeze in my hair, flying over the utah state line doing 100mph.....(okay maybe not doing 100).
i can't describe how much it'd mean if this all came to life: to fly out to seattle once more in june. aw man i'd spend late june tearin' up the city. well, maybe not, since i don't know anyone there except kristin from my college days (and of course, my sis). i'm not sure whether to contact k since we fell out of touch after graduation and too much has changed for me.
oh well, i'm sure i'd still have fun even with no friends. it doesn't make me a loser. loner? maybe. loser? no way. i could still drive through ballard once more, i'm wise enough not get lost on that damn bridge this time around, and then i can spy on loads of cute guys when i go running, (as long as i don't get hit by those f*#@ aggressive king county buses in the process)!
in july i'd leave for colorado. but i've got no idea what the drive is like. my assumption is that it's very pretty. but how many days? the best route? safe for women to do it alone or too desolate? scenic? worth it? ...that kind of stuff. i've got to look at my maps and maybe online to see what i can find. i pretty much know what to expect in the pacific nw. if anyone here knows anything about idaho, wyoming, utah, and especially colorado, do tell.
right now, too much is going on in my life (which i'm not documenting here), making it hard to plan ahead. so nothing is cast in stone. far from it. i'm super stressed out about a lot of stuff, and that's all anyone needs to know at the moment. but i'm going to meet someone for lunch this afternoon, which will be nice.

P.S.
good news: i finally got in touch with emily b. and will be meeting her in her new office next week. i think she'll be a wealth of info as far as finding out what e.a.p. work might be like later on, when i regain enough of my health to return to work.
