Radioactive Boob Girl!

The idea of Radioactive Boob Girl happened when I was having lunch with my friend Kevin while he was in town for Fanime when we were discussing my upcoming radiation treatments. I came up with the idea for a comic book character. I don't wanna give away too much of the idea, but it's gonna be good ;)

ok, so my boob is not really radioactive, but I did start radiation on Thursday. The first appointment took about an hour or so. I did a simulation last week where they figure out my positioning for the treatment, so on thursday they worked with the photos and markings to recreate the positioning which takes time the first time and they also take x-rays. Subsequent treatments appointments take about 30 minutes total. The actual treatment time is less then 10 minutes, the set up is what takes a little time to get me in the exact position they need. Treatment is everyday for 6 weeks. The whole process kinda feels like some strange alien probing in a way. They don't actually probe me with anything, but the way I have to lay I can't really see much of what is going on and there are laser beams and people measuring the laser beams and the machine is moving around.

My hair is coming back nicely. I am noticing it getting fuller all the time. I posted this photo on Facebook last week, but I also want to share it here. I no longer wear a hat or scarf to cover my bald head... I'm no longer bald! I have gotten so many complements about the shape of my head, I never knew my head was such a nice shape.

Free from head coverings!!!

So my hair has grown in enough that I feel comfortable going out with out anything covering my head. It's kinda nice not having to worry about what I am gonna wear on my head. I had been going head covering free on the weekends but wearing hats and scarves at work. Today was the first day with out a covering at work and I got lots of compliments.

I've been hoping to be able to buy a place once I was ready to move out of my mom's place so I met with a realtor to see if there is anything even available in the price I can afford. It turns out there are condos I can afford mostly in the South Bay which I am totally fine with since most of my friends live in the South Bay anyways. The only problem now is I don't have nearly enough for a down payment as the lenders and realtor would like to get the best deal on a loan. Also, I was presented with possible place to live with a friend Cupertino whose roommate is moving out. The rent is really good (and really hard to pass up) and I would be able to have my Dombey back living with me sooner. I really miss my cat and I want to get a new home where we can live together ASAP. I need to let Elizabeth know by June 1st but I would like to give her my answer sooner so that I don't miss out on the chance. I am kinda leaning towards moving to Cupertino and renting for another year while I finish paying off my debt (which I should be able to pay completely off by the end of 2015 because I have been able to dump more money into it while living with my mom) and saving more money for a down payment. I am trying to make smarter financial decisions so that I don't end up going back to living paycheck to paycheck like I was previously. I'm also chomping at the bit to not be sharing a room with my mom anymore and to have my cat back. I've got some more thinking to do about it... but it's late and I need to get to sleep.
