How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

This whole working for a living thing does not spark joy.
It is not the ideal way to spend your time on planet earth.
Just heard that my least favorite member of Jacqueline's extended family, the always judgey and unpleasant Aunt Elene, will not be able to attend the memorial as she will be east for a college graduation.
Oh well.
I ran early this morning because I had a 1pm skincare appointment, but she called and rescheduled. So I'm slightly futless, even though I do have a number of tasks that need attending. But I wasn't planning on dealing with them until later today, dangit.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
I missed saying this before because, you know, but Epic and dcp, lots of love and ~ma. I'm sorry you have to deal with this.

And in other post:
There is a wonderful snarky tweet I'd like to share here. So that attack from Iran? Home front command said yesterday evening that the state of emergency will remain today as well, meaning: all educational institutions (kindergarten to academy) are closed. After midnight they changed their minds, which made one tired mother to tweet: "only in Israel you have nine hours to prepare for a missile attack from Iran and 15 minutes to prepare three kids for kindergarten".

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Thank you all for the good wishes.
I had CT scans and bone scan on Friday. I had the consult to review results with the oncologist today.
Summary:
1) Unchanged retroperitoneal and left iliac chain nodal metastases.
2) No new or enlarging lymphadenopathy.
3) Stable osseous metastatic disease without discrete new lesion.
4) PSA is still undetectable.
That is all good news. The meds I am taking are doing what I need them to do. The side effects are no fun, but I am coping.

Stable, unchanged, I like the sound of those words.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Glad to hear most of that, dcp.
