Well, that was a late hit.
Attended the bachelor party for a very close friend last night. We did all the things that we, as a group, used to do several years ago.

5 months later
It's been 5 months since my last entry.
I've grown some, learned much, wept, rejoiced, experienced dread, been humbled, and imbibed a great deal of coffee.
I managed to make A's in the three online classes I took.

You know it's gonna be a good day when:
- The love of your life msg's you to ask if you're feeling better
AND
-You're co-worker points out that the coffee in the pot usually designated for decaf (by the orange label)
