The long-awaited biopsy results finally arrived.  Cancer, they said.  The good kind ( Read more... )

I had coffee with my sister, and saw but of flash of her fella.  I had the rest of my sandwich from last night, and a ritch vegan chocolate confection.  That is my kind of morning ( Read more... )

It turns out that the only mishap with my luggage was that my nail polish had leaked in a baggie, which was easy enough to clean up.  I repacked everything and headed to Ypsilanti ( Read more... )

I worked late Wednesday to prepare for my vacation at work.  There are reports to be created in advance, and profetical predictions.  As well as marking the mysterious drawers that line the walls of my office, and stacking my half-hazard stacks into something appearing tidier ( Read more... )

Today I worked a 13.5 hour shift.  The recent storms have shut down the internet at the office for most of a work day in the last couple of weeks.  When I got to tired to work, I was still going through Wednesday's e-mail.  I had done a quick once-over and pulled out the most urgent issues.  But hovering in the background was the catch-22 guilt ( Read more... )
