Easy like a Thursday morning
To update or not to update? That is definitely a question. Not necessarily THE question, but a question non-the-less.
This morning....and well, this afternoon too....have been quite nice. The cases went smoothly, the doctors were nice, and everyone got along. This is all nice b/c last night, one of the sales reps took us all out to dinner as a group. And free alcohol = one drunk Heidi. (Don't worry, I wasn't the only one). It wouldn't have been so bad except the wake-up call by my stomach at 2am, so therefore, I'm glad today has gone smoothly.
Oh yeah, it was "Specials" people only....so SHHH. I only say that b/c Cath Lab peeps would be angry....is that sad? I thought so.
Also, today I found out that Eddie Izzard is coming to Kansas City!! We've seen him once before, but we had to drive to Denver to see him, and this time he's only 1.5 hours away!! Imdb him if you don't know who he is. He's hilarious!!
Another sad thing about me: I'm really excited....about going to Target. That's the highlight for me....shopping....yup, really pathetic.
I think it's new phone ringer time. You agree? That's great!

Good news/Bad news
Good News:
Mom's cancer has not spread to her lymphatic system, or any other organs.
Bad News:
There are "micro-particles" of the cancer that were shown in her abdomen so she will have to go through chemo, and possibly radiation, but mostly as a precautionary.
Emotionally, I think she just feels that the important part is over, and we'll do whatever needs to be done to get through this. Thanks again to everyone who's been asking about her.
My aunt Kathy is in town for the week to help take care of her, so that is nice, and EXTREMELY helpful. (Mom's room is clean for the first time in....well....ever).
In other news, I took a sick day yesterday. I woke up and my gut said, "Nope, you're not workin today". Then I slept until 3:00pm. I haven't done that in a long time, but man, did I need it. Lots of stuff happened in the month of February and I think my brain just needed to chill out for a while.
I've been in an insane shopping mood lately. I have this desire to buy like, 10 things that are on sale at Target, but alas, we close on our house this month, so that's, unfortunately, a no-go.
Work is ok today. I think the reason being is that the co-worker I usually nit-pik with is gone today. Good times. And we're, (knock on wood), done for the day. (Hence, the time allowed for updating). I suppose I should utilize this time to clean out my bags/purse, but we'll see how that goes. The internet seems more important for the moment.
Anything new w/ anyone else?
