Still alive, and glad my friends are still posting. Things have been too intense around here, and it is wearing me out. Facebook doesn't cut it. I missed stories about Cluckingham Palace and writing and politically unpopular opinions.
We thought my mother would be finished with her treatments by now, but they want her back for another round. College girl has to decide and apply for her Junior Year abroad by December 1. She's leaning toward the Pacific, which yanks the pin out of my Camino plans with her. The high school student is making noises like she doesn't want to go to college. If she had a direction of any kind, I would be patient, but I hate to think she thinks I'm going to let her shoot herself in the foot without a few harsh objections. I'm too busy at work and fighting allergies. I wish I had a better reason to be busy. National health should be a single payer plan. I work for an insurance company - this is delay on parts of laws is really getting silly. And expensive. I'm also turning into a hypochondriac. Can a person die of hyperventilation? I need to get my plans finalized for a trip. Maybe I won't be able to walk the whole trip, but I need to get started. 2014 is right around the corner.
