So, someone sneezed two counties over and our internet went out...again.  It has been five days.  So, now I'm at Panera.  In the meantime, I took Coco back to Megan's and spent the night there so I could take my friend Ashli to University of Chicago to meet with a cancer specialist.  Spent a nice evening with my friend Beth. 

Ashli and I were very impressed with the surgeon and finally got some answers.  Basically translated, however, cancer sucks.  It was hard going back to that particular place as that is where we had Ali treated at the last phase of her cancer.  THe last time I went there, well, was the last time we would ever need to go there.  But I did it and I survived so that is that.

It is the countdown to March 1st.  It is a corner to be turned.

I drove through the blizzard to get to Chicago and then back through it to Indiana and then I drove back to Michigan.  It was a bit harrowing even to someone who drove through floods and a tornado to take her kids to a Creed concert.  Anyway...a lot of miles, a lot of snow, a lot of semis.

WOrked the rest of the week and I'm heading to Ohio on Monday for a week to take care of my sister Lisa's new baby Sam.  I'm quite excited.  So, I've had no time for writing or reading or anything else. 

Miss you all...looking forward to catching up.
