Fluid filled something

Good news Liz's blood has finally thinned enough so that she doesn't need those evil shots anymore. I got so chocked up seeing her bruised stomach. Not so good news she had her baseline mammography this week and they found a fluid filled something where her orginal lump was found. Today at one she had it aspirated so they could analysis the fluid. I don't know if the results were immediate or if she (and all of us - but mostly her) get to spend a few days on edge snapping at everyone because the waiting is the hardest part. If it's not one thing it's another and I am not quite sure how she does it other than the obvious, she has to do it. If you're going through hell, keep going.

I am a fat fuck and can barely stand it another day. On the other hand, I have quit smoking for almost 3 weeks now with only a few small trangressions not worth noting, although i did note them. Hmmm.

We had a BLAST in Ithaca. Liz, Jen, Wyatt and I all drove up on Friday morning for a few days of west and welaxation. Wyatt was a star, just a 100% genuine, bonafide STAR. "Jack" had a party for some Cornell grads, Casey got his Masters (smartypants I am so jealous!) and so Jen and Larry ran around like lunatics setting up tables, washing off pollen, spiriting away spider webs and spending untold sums of cash on booze. The weather held out and although it never got sunny on party day, it also never rained. We got to spend a good deal of time the next day down on the lake, Wyatt had to sit in the shade so we were on our own on the grass giggling and taking in all the sights and sounds of the lake, 5 dogs and various water activities. I took some really nice pictures of Wyatt and eventually he took a nap, I wrapped him up in the blanket he was laying on and went up onto the dock and had a mimosa. Jen fried her face - like over welll with a side of burnt toast fried, and despite all my worrisome fretting Liz did not burn her scalp - don't ask me how.
It was a great time. These are the days.
