Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

I’m glad he’s home, Beverly.

I have a mammogram tomorrow morning. They generally aren’t painful for me. But going in, I always wonder if this is the one that will change my life—in a bad way. Still, better to find things than not, if things are to be found.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

But going in, I always wonder if this is the one that will change my life—in a bad way.

The word I have learned for this is: "scanxiety."

The wide universe is the ocean I travel, and the earth is my blue boat home

The word I have learned for this is: "scanxiety."

That is a perfect word, and I feel it at every mammogram, every colonoscopy (because of family history I've been having them every 3 years or so since my mid-30s), and even a little bit with every year's bloodwork at my annual physical.

Scanxiety sound accurate.

Our wings are not tired.

Good Monday! Why do I say it is so good? It is Beverly's birthday! I'm relieved that you have your DH home with you. May you have a relaxed and lovely day and may the year to come bring an abundance of health and happiness to your lives.

Yes, Bev! I'm so glad DH is home where he belongs.

May you have a lovely celebration of your natal day. All good wishes for you this next turn around our sun.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Beverly, I hope you’re having a peaceful birthday at home with your DH! Love to both of you.

We dropped ltc off at Mom’s for two nights yesterday and then had a wonderful date night a play, dinner at a pub, and then came home and watched The BAFTA awards hosted by David Tennant.
