First day back at work after vacay … yeah, not so productive. I replied to e-mails, did some work, txted Matt, e-mailed him some Halloween pictures … not sure how I spent the other 7 hours I was there LOL.

Speaking of pictures, here’s me all made up:

After work, I spent about 2 hours throwing stuff out of my garage. I was ruthless. Shoes, clothes, photos, letters … all gone. I don’t need the stuff and I really didn’t want to move it. I couldn’t give up my stereo equipment though. I still may, it’s in my car. I have some tubs to haul upstairs tomorrow. I’m taking the afternoon off to finish up over there and then in the evening, my friend S. is coming over to help me clean.

I found out today that a colleague, BD, who lives in Arizona has incurable cancer. She was treated for breast cancer a few years ago and had a very difficult time with the chemo. I saw her in August and thought she had turned the corner. Her hair was growing back and she looked healthy. Sadly, her breast cancer had returned and then this week, she found out that it had metastisized. She was given an estimate of 6 months to 2 years to live; she and her family — she has three small children — decided to forego treatment and enjoy the time she has left on earth. So sad. Please keep BD and her family, especially her children, in your prayers.
