There Is Good News Everywhere

Stayed home because of my back. No exercise or work today. Back to everything manana, including the first class of the semester tomorrow night.

Looked up an old blog about a cancer patient and this sentence is in the most recent entry:

"My *December CT shows no evidence of disease." Hallelueh.

The medical bills for the daughters' December experiences are starting to roll in. As you may recall, Lara had emergency surgery to remove her gall bladder and appendix, and Danielle had preapproved surgery to remove "just" her gall bladder. I'll tally up the figures later but I am now a BIG fan of medical insurance. That is, once you convince the keyboard-punchers at the hospital and HMO that they need to reconsider some of their financial decisions. So far, I'm batting 1.000.

The Bride came home from a job interview with State Personnel and she's feels really good about her chances, and she has an interview at Lowe's tomorrow so we'll have another check coming in the house. I have a job interview for an Administrative Services Officer position at the Nevada Department of Cultural Affairs on Thursday. There is no way I'm qualified for the position, but what the heck.

Going through my blog and reading the old bike-riding entries. Looking out the window, the sky is so blue and clear out there. Dollar is calling and we want to hit the road, but no. Not today but soon...
