Monday I was incredibly busy at work. We had a huge issue at work, I was calling up people to find out more about my dad’s cousin’s wife’s situation, and my brother-in-law kept calling me. I even got a call from my mail-order pharmacy. I usually get one or two phone calls a month and I probably got a dozen on Monday. Most of the things worked themselves out, like my brother-in-law finding an iPad for Mariko. That’s right, she’s one of THOSE PEOPLE now.

Sometimes you get good news.

I know I shouldn’t be telling you about other people’s business, but this was on a public site:

So they did a fish test (?) and found that it was Her2 positive the whole time! So now I am on Herceptin and the prognosis will get better and better. In 3 months we will see how much shrinkage there has been and I’ll be at 50/50. He has a lot of patients in remission one these drugs and a handful who haven’t presented any signs of cancer since! Yay!! I can be like you and just keep on truckin’!

Besides, that’s the best news I’ve heard all month.

Most things are really minor in comparison. But that’s my life, kind of minor.

Today was Helen at the gym, 3 rounds of 2 laps around the building, 21 24kg kettlebell swings, 12 kipping pullups. I did a lot of stuff to try to torpedo my time. Last night I stepped on the bottom of my office chair, making me limp for a while. I ate a pulled pork sandwich for lunch. I was waiting on some guys to contact me at work and they finally did about 3:30PM and I got out of work at 5:45PM into rush-hour traffic. I had to go home to change before I hit the gym and I was only about 5-10 minutes late. Anyway, my usual plan of just taking the run easy so I could do the pullups without pausing gave me my best time ever, I think. I was surprised.

So there you go. I’m reactivating my account on match.com in case anyone wants to point and laugh, but other than that I think my day is pretty much done.
