I have a nasty case of writer's block and/or procrastination. I have working my my CO project for almost two years (first treatments were done Jan. 13, 2007!), but I just can't seem to get this paper done. Maybe I have attention deficit disorder....
Since the lab is not the best place to write (or form any type of cohesive thought), I am working from my cozy condo today. Mr. O'Malley has been fed well, so he is leaving me alone. Matt is at school until at least 4. That give me 5-6 hours of piece and quite to get writing. Hopefully I can get it done. It truly is getting ridiculous....
Christmas and New Years were fine. I had a great time on Christmas Eve with my Aunt Sherry and Uncle Tom. All I can say it that it is NOT a good idea to drink and then try to do yoga on the Wii Fit.....even if you are a yoga instructor!
Christmas in Fargo was as good as can be expected. Matt's grandparents are starting to decline in health, so we had a scare with Grandma. She is doing as well as can be expected and is back in the nursing home. I went through all of this with my grandma's when I was in middle school, so I know that this is going to be a long and painful process for everyone in Matt's family. In many ways I am grateful that my Dad passed away peacefully in relatively good health (he died...so that is arguable). Watching him (or my mom) slowly decay would not have been pleasant. Speaking of my mother's health, I am happy to say she does not have breast cancer. We had a scare right before Christmas. She had two abnormal mammograms. I spoke with my boss, and he got her into the Breast Center at the U. In less than two hours she had a new ultrasound and a biopsy confirming that it was just a cyst! Needless to say we all partied hard on New Years. I am so thankful she was ok, as I can't face losing another parent so soon.
Well, I better get back to work on the paper.
