The Battle for the Last Post: Mission Joystick Prayer

[Emmy]

Work, work, work. I've been at this job for a month and a half now, but the past two weeks have completely kicked my butt. I'm ready for my mini vacation the 17th-20th for my cousin's wedding that I'm singing in. As sad as it sounds, I'm ready for school to start back up again, so I can reduce my hours and actually feel like I have time to think.

When you're in school all you have time to do is think!

I got accepted into an electrician's apprentice program. Worked 3 days. Realized there was no way I wanted to do it for the rest of my life. Quit.

[CeramicCornflake]

It's embarrassing to go through such a lengthy application process, tell everyone you're starting a career, buy tools, etc... only to not wind up doing it. But it was a big wake up call. I actually learned something about myself that was contrary to some long-held beliefs I had.

My wife starts chemo on Monday. First of 8 rounds. Can't get that over with fast enough IMO. She is not happy about having to lose her hair. But it will double her chance of not having it return so it is worth it. You can't pull any punches when you are fighting cancer.

Show her a picture of me and say "Look. You can be bald and beautiful. Here's proof!"

No, don't do that though. I hope everything went well. I'll include her in my prayers.

It's gonna be hotter than Satan's asshole the next couple days, and my boyfriend wants to go hiking tomorrow. He's nuts.

One more night at work, and then it'll be vacation tiiiiime!

I have finished editing my book. Just need to key in the changes annnnnnnnd there goes my will power.

Go figure that I would get sick a week before my insurance kicks in. Ugh.

Just popping in to say hi! Thanks for the support CC. My wife is hanging in there. 2 rounds of chemo down, 6 more to go. She shaved her hair last Friday. That was not easy but she faced it head on and I am proud of her. Sure it will get harder but it is good to have 25% done.

[Electron.John]

I still have to finish your book CC. So little time. I should send you the edits I made anyway. You likely caught the same stuff I did though.

I'm feeling pretty good about life in the zone - but this poetry writing sure can be addicting!

Did everyone have a good 4th of July? I had a good time with my family. Fireworks, BBQ's, road trip to sea coast of Maine.

[Emmy]

I worked during the day, then I went home and sat on my butt. Didn't really watch any fireworks but I could certainly hear them.

Happy birthday to meeeee. I am 27 years old today.
