Well, Here I Am

I am not at my favorite conference with a bunch of beloved friends. I am, however, at least, non-cancerous, and my blood tests look suitable for approved medical things, and I have the better part of my paper for next week.

Meanwhile, my Mom went on a European vacation with one of my sisters, promptly fell and fractured her knee, and has successfully come out of a surgery somewhere in Holland.

Meanwhile, work continues apace, but I will shortly be paid a very slight more in recognition of all of the dropped balls I've been picking up.

My bestie really wants me to take up his hobby of music on vinyl, and you know, some days I consider it.
