I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

Please keep Kristin and her dad in your thoughts. Today started out good, but is not turning into a very rough day.

Oh no. Definitely thinking of Pix and her dad.

Weather here is fine, just chilly, but I’ve been on multiple calls with people elsewhere who are like “not sure about my power/internet…”

I pronounce it Ree in my head.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Lots of good thoughts heading toward Pix and her dad. Hoping for the best outcome for all involved.

Good thoughts for Pix and her dad.

I'm happy to report that mom's surgery went well yesterday ("beautifully" her doctor said) and she's at home feeling pretty good today. No call for follow-up chemo until she gets her 3-month checkup, but the post-op treatment measures were different enough from the last time to reassure me they weren't just doing the same thing and hoping for a different result.

I was puzzled by how much 7 hours of hospital waiting wiped me out yesterday compared to how I handle longer shifts normally, until I remembered I was doing it on maybe 2.5 hours' sleep. Yeah, that'll make a difference, particularly when you get there too early to buy coffee in the cafeteria. Today work was not fun, but at least I got to be the one notifying others about a late game heap o' problems and letting them scramble to fix them, rather than the reverse.
