So, you know what sucks? I do. Fasting for medical reasons – that’s what sucks. I was told that I am not allowed to have anything to eat or drink prior to my PET scan. Ok, in my case, drink. Ok, inject. Whatever; you get my point. I was told that I can have a [...]

Day Twenty-Two
Good evening, dear reader. How are you tonight? I must admit, this is not one of my better days. Oh, there’s not really anything wrong, per se, I suppose; today has just left me physically and emotionally drained. Most of my work day was fine, and I can officially say that I survived my first [...]

This quote showed up in my RSS feed reader and I absolutely had to share it. Given everything that I’ve been dealing with lately, these words really speak to me. Experience is not what happens to you; it is what you do with what happens to you. – Aldous Huxley What do you think? Also, [...]

Day Eighteen
Good evening, my friends. This evening’s update will be brief for a couple of reasons. Primarily, there’s really not that much to report today. Secondarily, I’m a bit tired and will likely be turning in early so that I may be ready for work tomorrow. Seriously, there’s not much to report today. I’m feeling better [...]

Day Seventeen
Good evening, dear reader. I hope this evening finds you well. As for myself, I could be better; of course, I could also be much, much worse. So, all things considered, I am quite fine. This has been a day both productive and strange. The productivity has come in the form of household chores; I [...]

Quick Hit: The Name Has Been Chosen
Good morning, dear reader. This will be a very brief entry to let you know that I now have the ability to refer to my fiancee as something under than “my fiancee.” She has chosen a pseudonym for herself for the purposes of this blog. Are you ready? Drumroll, please. Her choice is: Adrianne As [...]
