So that puppy we were fostering? Yeah. We may have adopted him. Here is the link to his page on the rescue site. [link]
I'm so happy!
I'd like to ask ~ma for my mom at 2:00 EST tomorrow, as she is having her lung surgery then. She's in good spirits, but it's a tough surgery and she is 84, so......
My mom is in recovery and she came through fine. The surgeon said there were no surprises and there appeared to be no lymph node involvement, so, yay!
Husband has a job interview tomorrow morning around 6AM board time. I would appreciate "best possible outcome" and "just let it be over quickly" vibes.
My mom got her biopsy results. The lung cancer was apparently two small tumors, not one, and it had spread to one lymph node. They do think they got it all, but have mentioned chemo, which I know is NOT a possibility. So, there you have it. She gets out of the hospital tomorrow and I'll be there Monday morning.
Some reasonable~bank~ma would be appreciated. We have been arguing with the mortgage bank for 4 years now and have a mediation scheduled this afternoon (not the first time). We feel like Obama and Boehner here, except only our side goes off the cliff. Hoping for an agreement of some kind so we can go forward. The stress after so many years of this is exhausting.
I maded a blog! About 20 years after they started but hey - better late than never, right? It's mostly craft stuff.
I have a new Hilo Heroes piece up at Hilobrow on the Swiss/German modernist painter Paul Klee - a fascinating guy.
Please check it out and give it a Like at the Hilobrow site if you could.
