A few random tidbits of news today while taking a break from the mundanity (?) that is my low-paying job:
1) At present, Cheryl is due to be discharged from Providence late this afternoon. Turns out the bug was something that migrated from her gut, most likely due to the tumors, big surprise. So taking out the port turned out to be unnecessary, and now the pick line in her upper arm is developing clots. Oh, happy day. Transfusions and blood-thinners will ensue.
The plan is at present that she'll get a week or two of radiation therapy in Corvallis while staying with her folks, and we'll see what shakes out from there.
2) Went to a Magic pre-release event over the weekend. Managed to wrangle 5th place and some prizes, but I can tell my once-semi-vaunted skills have greatly atrophied. I do so love living 100 miles from the nearest game store - hell, we live 100 miles from the nearest anything. Cheryl and I can both agree that coming to Pullman was clearly the biggest mistake we could have made, but you know hindsight being 20/20 and all that.
3) After watching some young'uns play Rock Band for a few minutes, I remember when, back in my days, kids would actually start a band, instead of pretending to play in one. Just one more nail in the coffin of rock and roll.
4) Saw Hellboy II over the weekend. I was hoping for great, but I'd rank it as "pretty good." Still worth the price of admission. Maybe, if Cheryl's feeling up to it, we'll see The Dark Knight while she's in Corvallis. One can hope.
5) I thought the purpose of sleeping pills was to put you to sleep. The latest wonder drugs I'm on are keeping me awake at night, thusly making me even more cranky and irritable (and I'm pretty cranky and irritable to being with). I don't think that's right. I hate taking all these pills, but then I look at the small pharmacy Cheryl has and realize I'm actually not that bad off.
6) Bachelor living is fun for a few days, but the novelty wears off pretty quickly. I do get to make all the dishes I like but Cheryl doesn't (but, seriously, who doesn't like tomato sauce - I married a communist or sumthin').

Cheryl,just wanted to drop you a line to let you know that we are pulling for you and your husband. See your headed to Corvallis again, hopefully the treatment will kick in. Sure miss seeing your smiley face, look forward to you coming back to work. Maybe I'm just getting tired of seeing Bruce's mug and not you. Take Care.
