Update
My father in law is stable, is able to sit up and is asking for his knitting. Downside is he requires a double bypass operation, and because it is merely a double, they keep on putting it off. They estimate at the moment Wednesday or Thursday, but they seem to keep on moving it two days into the future...
Keep the 'ma coming. Will inform on how the surgery goes (and when it goes.)
Woohoo!
Just got a voicemail from Mom (can't believe I missed the call while taking out the trash, and she's not picking up on the cell phone now). The tests Dad had week before last show no cancer in his brain or lungs. They're going to give him three more chemo treatments (which I think means the three he's having this week, not three of the monthly rounds he's been doing), radiate his lungs once more, and call it good.
My dad is the toughest man in the world. And maybe he'll live to see my first book, my as-yet-100%-hypothetical second child, and Annabel old enough to remember him after all.
I'm going to be in Israel until the end of the month, and probably without much computer access, so I'll be pretty much dark for awhile.
We put in a bid on the townhouse we saw this weekend. As this market is insane, some house~ma would be much appreciated.
Surgery was abruptly scheduled for this morning at 7am, for good reasons. With luck soon the 'ma will be released back into the wild.
Releasing all job~ma back into the ether. I got one of the jobs I wanted - the one still here at Big!Bank. Promotion, raise, and a new environment. Rock. On.
I'm outta here. Gone on vacation until about July 8th. To the land of single line dial up. Have fun while I'm gone.
A favour to ask:
Does anyone have a spare sofa in San Diego for one night: 13 August, a Saturday? A livejournal buddy from back east will be in town for a conference that weekend, and very kindly bought me an airline ticket to fly down and hook up with her - but her hotel is booked solid and I'm very cash-poor at the moment. I'd be leaving Sunday evening, the next day.
Baked goods, as an exchange, are offered.
Guess who has an extra Serenity screening ticket available for Thursday?! If anyone in the Chicago area would like to attend, you can e-mail me at the profile addy.
ETA--ticket gone to ChiKat. Sorry, aurelia! (Insent to both of you.)
A former co-worker passed away last night (breast cancer). My boss is in remission from breast cancer and we have two co-workers with serious forms of breast cancer. My boss has been in tears all morning. All the peace and health~ma you can spare please.
