Endocrine Woes, Traveling to NJ Tomorrow

I've been fatigued for a while now. We're checking the usual suspects: my crappy thyroid, anemia, blood sugar. *sigh* The slowly deteriorating thyroid thing is something I'd happily have done without inheriting from Mom.

My blood sugar test results from awhile back seem to show chronic low blood sugar so I'm having the fun of pricking my finger and taking readings in case that's the cause. I didn't think that my blood sugar test results were that far off normal (within the test's error range, in fact) but maybe it explains the unceasing tired and fuzzy-headedness. I have never been anemic so it would be a new development if I were now.

Me, I think it's thyroid. Weight gain is a big clue. I won't be wearing the cute rose-colored silk dress I bought for the wedding below. :( I have never so fully sympathized with those who are diabetic. I cannot imagine having to inject myself with insulin several times a day. *pets endocrine system* Let's hear it for biofeedback!

[livejournal.com profile] mcroft and [livejournal.com profile] immlass, I don't know what your schedules are. Looking at our plans and knowing that you're headed in the opposite direction on Saturday night, perhaps Saturday lunch? Here are our plans:

Saturday -- Drive from Philly to NJ. Wedding, 4 p.m.
Sunday -- South Street Seaport Museum, Ships, Walking tour of southern Manhattan (Wall Street, The Village, Chelsea, Little Italy). Architecture photography.
Monday -- Cruise around Manhattan and Helicopter Tour, Central Park Tour (Yes, I intend to point out the wonder of the Met, which we aren't going to *sniffle*, and Cleopatra's Needle.) The first 2 will occupy most of the day, so Central Park is likely to be late-ish afternoon.
Tuesday -- Pierpont Morgan with [livejournal.com profile] jalabert (all day! woot! yay!). Closes at 5 so I'll probably drag Joe to Times Square because I think it's a law that City Virgins must make that pilgrimage.
Wednesday -- Driving tour of NJ pretty spots. Joe hasn't expressed a preference amongst Palisades or Princeton or eastern Penn so I expect it'll be up to my whim at the time. Maybe I'll wear my tattered old Harvard sweatshirt and see if I can get myself beaten up at Princeton. That should put off my return to Houston until it's cooler. :)

We want to fit in a Broadway play or two. The Spamalot tickets thru AmEx turned out to be available for 9/15 only so we're going to do a pot luck, show up at the half price booth kind of thing and buy whatever appeals most.

We get into Philly close to midnight between Friday/Saturday. I'm working a full day before getting on the plane out. We plan to make our way to the hotel and check in early. We'd need to have an early lunch so that we could change into wedding wear afterwards. I'm not 100% how the schedule is going to work but I really want to see y'all while we're up there.

NYC is an hour+abit from us, as is Philly. If you're staying in Philly Saturday night and driving to NYC area on Saturday, we can be an on-the-way stop. We're about 1 mile off I-95, which is one of the interstate connectors between Philly and NYC, and .2 miles off US1, which is the older US highway version. We can figure out someplace to eat in this area.

If you're getting a car and heading to NYC from Philly tonight, then we can figure it out and come up that way. We know some places to eat, but we're not sure where your hotel is, so hard to plan.

You can IM me via gmail @ my gmail address if you want to figure it out on line from work today, to which I am about to go. Otherwise, email or call us Saturday. (you do have the phone #s, right?)

We're staying in Philly tonight (Friday night) and moving onward to the lovely environs of eastern NJ - total sarcasm there - on Saturday. I think we should plan to meet for a brunch, maybe?

Phone numbers. Well, yes, I thought you were in my cell phone. I pulled it out to double check and I find that I haven't added your numbers. I've e-mailed you my and Joe's cell phone numbers. When you have a chance, please give one of us a call. :)

I can hardly wait to see youse guys!
