Come 4 the Cancer, Stay 4 the Candy

Posted by Susie Felber

Today I had work, but I worked from Sloan-Kettering where [redacted secret person] is getting treated for [redacted secret illness].  As these things go it was pretty nice actually.  There are tinkling fountains there, lots of orchids, lovely old friends joined, and we enjoyed free wi-fi, coffee and all the hard candies you could eat.  It almost makes a person want to be sick!

Anywho, then I had a playdate with S. which was delightful but then it was back to work and then onto the treadmill after 9:30PM and tomorrow I've dentist appointment at 8AM so that work doesn't get annoyed, then I've work, then the joy of seeing the accountant (is any of my drama deductible?).  Oh and the key just broke in the lock so we've also the fun of meeting a locksmith.  So basically?  Life is a bit of a run around right now.  

Here's a video from a simpler time: the weekend.  As you can see, on the weekend, the run around is much more fun. 

 

Night Internet.  Big hugs to all o' youse.

xoxo,

That video reminds me of the Family Circus cartoon when they show the winding path Billy takes to get from point A to point B and the parents have told him to "come straight home" but straight is a very subjective term.

And that baby sitter doesn't look like she would cost much if you paid her by weight so it must be a good deal. We go out, not much, but we go. We are not afraid of leaving him with someone. I have a few good friends who love Cooper, and providing they are not going where we are going, they are happy to babysit. None of them have kids, but they are all great with them. I can always fall back on hiring one of the teachers from school too which we will when we go to see Eddie Izzard later this month. Now that the warmer weather is here we will probably get out more!
