First mammogram at 40 – what to expect
I had my first mammogram yesterday and I wanted to jot a few things down as to what happened and what someone else should expect on their first. I do this from time to time because it’s nice to be…
Wednesday Potpourri
The unthinkable happened: the Jeep is in the shop (finally getting air conditioning, woo) and the shuttle from the Dee-luxe apartment in the sky to the train station wasn’t running. WM dropped me off at the train on his way…
Friday Five: In Retrospect
Oof, this week was a tough one. We’re starting up our Summer Fridays schedule. We bank 7 extra hours over 2 weeks, and get every other Friday ofF. Sweeeet deal, but I’ve been starting an hour earlier each day to…

She lives!

Take a sad song and make it better
The leg’s much better. I kept off of it as much as I could this weekend, skipping the bead show and the craft show and only going out for breakfast on Sunday morning. I’ll stick with the knee brace for…
Will you still need me, will you still feed me…
Dear 2003-era diary, What a week it’s been. I was sad because a coworker left. Then I was snubbed by someone. Pretty obviously, too. And then there was a presentation at work put on by our outgoing group of college…
