Yay, job, Jesse!
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Yeah, I'm worried today because it looks like my mom's lung cancer has moved to her bones. Not a good sign, but we knew this was likely, given that she has not accepted treatment (it's her third go-round with cancer--she's had surgery and chemo twice before and decided at age 86, that she'd rather not go through it again). They aren't 100% certain yet, but it looks extremely likely.
She meets with her oncologist on Thursday and we find out more. I am less worried about her dying, which we've all known is coming, than I am about her being in pain. Here's hoping there is ameliorative treatment so that she can continue to enjoy her life.

Great news, Jesse!
Much health~ma to go around.
Something I get tired of hearing is how Trump is being clever with the way he handles the media. He's not fucking clever, he just lies all the time.

I went to the eye dr. No change from last year, just need glasses for distance. So keeping my glasses and this time I got the prescription in sunglasses. First choice was the cheapest pair in the place. Whee!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Scrappy, best wishes to your mom and to you!
That seems like a weird contingency unless the organizations are connected in some way.
I mean, they are connected in some way, but I think this is their SOP. Although when my last team member left for the same new place, no one framed their call to me in this way! But I guess it was the same situation, and my team member was just awkward in saying it.

Oh scrappy. That's hard.
Yay Jesse!! But that's a seriously weird contingency!!

Go team Jesse! I emailed the place where I interviewed four months ago last Thursday asking if they had any information they could share about their timeline and they emailed back, politely, "nope." So.
I wish all good thoughts for BC and Ouise and Mama Scrappy.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Hoping for ease for Scrappy's mom.
Yay, Jesse!
