You'd Think I'd Have More To Talk About

Considering I've been dormant for the past three days, you'd think I'd be full of updates and news.  Alas, you'd be wrong.  And by the way - I didn't post yesterday because my computer is, once again, being an asshole.  I actually didn't expect to be blogging today but when I turned on my computer, thinking: "maybe"...what do you know?  The damn thing actually booted up.  Seems every time this motha tries to update, it gets thrown into some sort of funk and just keeps "working", "restarting" and throwing me a bunch of bullshit.  I'm sure I'll be dragging it into school soon to have our computer guy look at it.

So, Jim.  He's doing well.  Doesn't have a lot of pain.  Showered yesterday without issue though he kept dropping the soap.  This normally wouldn't be a problem but he was trying to avoid direct water on his back.  It is still bandaged up - looks gnarly under there though...the bandage is all bloody - but doesn't pain him, which surprises me.  His armpit is sore and he's doing all he can to avoid using that arm for now.  And of course it is his right arm and he's right-handed.  Oh well...he's muddling through.  His next appointment with the doc is two weeks from yesterday...to remove the sutures.  He will, I assume, hear before then about the results of the biopsy.  The doc did say upon removal, they looked normal (do they not if they are cancerous?  I don't know) but of course labs will tell.

Did I need to take yesterday off?  For Jim, no but for me, yes.  I was mentally and physically exhausted after Monday. I just needed to decompress.  I managed to walk Sami (a nice long one, in the fog) and then went on a nice 12 mile ride.  I saw about 8 or 9 deer on my ride (none of them mean mugged me either...they must be from a better, classier part of town than my neighborhood) and it was exhilarating.  I went over to my former neighbors house around 1:30 and got a tour of her house and we had a beer and talked. Her house is gorgeous by the way.  I'm jealous of her bathtub and the pot filler at her stove. Oh and maybe the basement too. Other than that, I'm content with what I have...happy for her but content with my comfy, cozy home.  You know I wonder all the time: If I had a bank full of cash, would I stay here in my house?  I love my house and I know I'd certainly improve upon it if I had fistfuls of money but would I move?  I just don't know.  There's so much I'd be giving up but who knows...home is where the heart is, for sure.

Okay well, my day should be jam-packed.  I have lots to grade and do today due to my absences. It's shortened periods and I can't do my usual Wednesday plans in LA (independent seat work) because I won't be in the classroom tomorrow morning (training from 8-10:30)...ugh!  I best mosey.  Happy HumpDAY!  Later!
