DL - I know EXACTLY how you are feeling with the holdback of emotion and cautionary
GREAT news, yet in the back of your mind the perspective and this feeling of when/if the proverbial other shoe will drop.
Thoughts, hopes, prayers are with you sir. It has been a long ass 5 months.
I thankfully get to resume a normal work schedule again once school is out and am counting down days. It's been emotional and tough this past week in my household and this thing just turns into a grind. Not a complaint I can really make - news could be a ton worse.
Since I started my job a little over 2 years ago there has been a gal at the turn around on Telegraph just south of 8 mile asking for money. Since the freeway closed at the beginning of April three more have appeared. One guy at 7 mile that has interfered with traffic and two more at turn arounds that don't. I don't give to any of them for the same reasons mentioned but wrestle with it.
Back in the 90s living in Albuquerque, all the highway exits had people standing at the stops begging for money - The Alb Journal did a piece on this - turns out it's very lucrative, $60 to 100K/year.
"I completely understand and agree. I highly doubt the guy got a cheap motel room, got a decent meal and a comfortable nights sleep. But it was the point of the moment for my wife. We both had good news from our doctors were feeling joyous I guess.
Whatever he did with the money, he was as happy yesterday as we were.
Who knows, maybe he upgraded from a bottle of Mad Dog to a 6 pack of Guinness."
-----------------------------------------I understood this when you wrote it. Didn't mean to suggest you should have done anything different. I'm happy for you and completely understand the situation.
I thought everyone had said they were in. Oh well.
I agree everyone had said they were in. A time was not settled on. I would still LOVE to do this. Kinda disappointed we got away from it. That's just me.
Back in late Jan, I had 15 cancer cells show up on my pet scan. Now I have only one! The largest one that is half the size from the original. All the smaller cells are gone. When the doc told us, it was the first time through all of this that my tears welled up. Not over it, I know. Doctor even said he was "amazed" at how my body was responding to chemo. I told him he has earned his pay then.

If you fall during your life, it doesn't matter. You're never a failure as long as you try to get up.

I just can't commit to anything for a while.
Great News!
