Timelies all!
Why did it take me so long to realize that Veterans' Day is on a Tuesday?(As in, November 11) For some reason I thought it was Monday. Can't brain today, I have the dumb.

I need help.
Grace has balanced choromosomal translocation. I'd assume it's on her X chromosomes because that is what the endo tested but that may be a false assumption. It looks like this might increase her chances of lymphoma but what else does this mean?
In other words, how worried should I be?

Seems like it totally depends on the chromosomes, Kat?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ugh, Kat. I don't even know what your questions means (don't worry about explaining it)--I'm just frustrated you have to deal with things I don';t understand. Much strength to you.
I just had a pretty good interview that I honestly can't remember having agreed to. By pretty good, I mean they were fooled--I was awful, but the interviewer talked like a next step was inevitable, and that if I'd applied for recently filled positions I'd have been a shoe in. Which--is nice of him to do. Fingers crossed.
I just feel weird and ill since I arbitrarily decided to cold turkey methadone on my own schedule. Note to audience: DON'T DO THAT. But I got fed up. I think the bulk of the symptoms are over now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh dear, ita! How are you feeling aside from withdrawal? Which I imagine is a bitch.

Oh, yikes, ita. I hope the worst of the cold turkeying is over, and that the interview goodness was sincere.
I do not have actual knowledge, Kat, but googling seems to imply that many people have balanced chromosomal translocations and don't know because it does not affect them at all. All the information I am finding about specific chromosomes refers to the chromosomes by numbers (for example, a balanced translocation of chromosomes 19 and 20).

ION, ha-HA! I finally got on chat with Zappos about why I still don't have my shoes, and there was "a glitch," they will be sent next-day, I got a $35 coupon AND a VIP membership.
So that's good.

Way to squeak, Jesse!

Of course, the coupon has to be used in the next 90 days -- pretty sneaky, Zappos.

ita, I wish there were more that I could do to help. I get so angry that you are forced to make such hard decisions. You are so frigging amazing and strong, but you shouldn't have to deal with so much rigamarole to just get to an acceptable baseline.
