Sorry for the lack of blogging; I have a lousy cold. It of course hit as soon as everything started getting really hectic around here, so I feel like a zombie. Here are some mini-updates on all the exciting things going on around here:
1. Still no word on my biopsy. I called today (day 11 out of a projected "7–10 days") but was told that the lab is really backed up. I was assured that the delay does not in any mean that there's anything to worry about. Ha! Worrying is what I do best.
2. I have in my possession my own mammogram films. First my OB/GYN leaves town, then Boston Imaging closes its doors forever! So in November I will have a mammo at a new place and in June I will have my annual girly exam with a new OB/GYN. Was it something I said?
3. Irony of ironies: The long-awaited June 12 New Yorker was indeed the Summer Fiction Issue, but it turned out to have the theme of "Life During Wartime." I read not one story in it.
4. Not only does Julie not cry anymore when I leave her at school; she's started staying for "Kids' Club" (the much improved new name for "Extended Day Program") at preschool. Every afternoon there's a different theme or activity (puppet-making, finger-painting, dinosaurs, fairy tales, wood-working, clay, etc.) and you can just decide on any given day to go home at 1:00 as usual or stay till 4:00 (there's also a really extended day, until 5:30, for the working parents). She loves it! I love it! Everybody's happy! She doesn't do it every day, but so far she's done it 4 times.
Full-length posts to come on my contact lenses (Hint: Make that "lack of contact lenses"), last night's book group meeting, movie reviews, and more! Much more! All for the low, low price of—whoops.
Your comment about the New Yorker has me laughing out loud.
Ah, sweet irony.
Worthy of Talk About Town.
