Not to panic or anything, but I just found out today I have to have another biopsy on my breast. I went through this last year too, and I’m not happy about it (like anyone would be) but can’t really do anything but get it done and hope for the best. This will not be [...]

Another Biopsy

Another long day ahead at work. I enjoy being here, but wish I had more work to keep me busy–I get bored and one can only surf the Internet so much before getting tired of that, too. I wish I could read a novel when I don’t have anything to do. I know I can’t, [...]
Small blessing
Posted in family, life on June 25, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I just found out yesterday that my daughter-in-law will have labor induced next Monday. Imagine, next Monday I will have the small blessing of a new grandchild to love. I am fortunate indeed. I will be off work Monday and Tuesday, maybe Wednesday to help out with my grandson. He will spend the night Sunday [...]
Health Scare

This is weighing heavily on my mind. I went for my yearly mammogram last week and again they found some abnormalities in my right breast. Last year I had a biopsy, looks like I may be headed for that again this year. It scares me but all I can do is try to handle it [...]
Pet Peeve revisited
Posted in Flood of 2008, Pet Peeves on June 18, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Sure enough, yesterday same thing happened. I spent 40 minutes getting home on what should be a 15 minute drive. Others went barreling past the long line only to get up close to the front and turn their signals on to get in, and people let them! I don’t understand it. Why? When you’ve patiently waited [...]
Still flooded and other wonderful things (a pet peeve)
Posted in Flood of 2008, Pet Peeves on June 17, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I am very fortunate. Unless it really lets loose again I shouldn’t be evacuated. People two buildings down from me have been but so far we’re dry. Such a relief. Sometimes during things like these I think people show their true nature–and it isn’t pretty.
I’ve seen this when it wasn’t flooded, but since we do have [...]
Flood of 2008

I had thought to put something humorous in the title like, Ark Building 101 or something like that, but it isn’t funny at all. We have a real disaster going on here and I’m afraid the flood of 1993 will end up looking like an overflowing bathtub compared to this. Getting to work today was [...]
Good Morning America!
Posted in Iowa, news on June 11, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Our flood dilemma was on Good Morning America this morning. One of their reporters was right there at the Coralville Reservoir as it was running over the spillway at a fairly rapid pace. It will get worse and there will be water gushing over soon and no one will be standing in that area. Iowa City [...]
Am I happy?

Perhaps not the question one thinks of every day. A good share of people would say “no” to that question, or “sometimes” or say they get by or whatever. My mother used to tell me, “Happiness is a state of mind.” She was right. It is. When I was younger I was always thinking if [...]
Monday, June 9

Yesterday was my dad’s birthday. He would have been 81. Hard to believe he’s been gone so long. Where have the years gone to?
Today is my niece Kate’s birthday. I hope she’s enjoying her day out there in sunny California.
I’m sitting here at work looking across the street at two small children playing very close [...]
