Hi people! Haven't been by in a while, or else you are talky meat. Skipped many posts, sorry.

Did get to see ~t's nifty new haircut. Looks great!

I am drowning in grading because I get almost no time to do it. Like today. Woke at 6:15, didn't get a chance to sit down and grade until 4.

Sister update: first round of chemo didn't seem to touch the tumors, which continued to grow, so we have a new treatment plan starting tomorrow that sounds like scorched earth to me. 7 days continuous IV infusion of poison. I'm a bit scared of how hard it will be on her poor system. Please please any spare prayers, crossed fingers, ~ma, what have you that it will work.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

All kinds of ~ma to your sister, Burrell. That sounds like it's going to be rough, I hope it does some good.

Very pretty, -t!

Hell YES, it is!

Burrell, I hope the new treatment helps your sister. How are you doing?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

May it be the right poison, Burrell. If it's any consolation, continuous IV infusion is sometimes less hard on the patient, because concentration in the blood is lower. It's a lower level over a longer time.

Because books.

Lovely, -t!

Yay for phone screening, Jilli!

Burrell, I'm so sorry. Strength to both of you.
