Please pardon my prolonged absence. If you’ve been in touch with me via e-mail or phone, you know I’m not recovering from illness (again) or the multiple cold snaps Central Texas is experiencing. No, it has been a different malaise keeping me from writing, a nagging concern putting both of us on pins and needles until the doctor called with the outcome of Somara’s recent medical tests. I’ll cut to the good news, the tests came out in her favor so far (negative). Somara has some follow-up exams next month to confirm the doctor’s assessment though but we’re out of the woods.
So what were we losing sleep over? Cancer. I’m sure some of you were betting on a pregnancy. HA! Although both would be fatal for us financially, mentally and physically, I am glad we’re dealing with neither. Nothing ruins Christmas and New Year’s more than the Big C.
We celebrated with a trip to Ikea for more spice storage thingies Somara wanted for Christmas, the new Young Frankenstein musical CD for me and lunch at TGIFridays. The rest of the week will be easier even though we both have to work at Apple.
