I'm joining a new Friday group called Friday Fragments, which are bits and pieces that are too short for their own post, but too good to never see the light of day. Link up at Unknown Mami (who is hosting for the summer instead of Half-Past Kissin' Time.) I found this group through DoreenMcGettigan, an A-Zer.
Frag
One:
I
DON'T HAVE CANCER. I think that's worth shouting. All my biopsies
came back negative. Two and a half weeks is a long time to
contemplate one's fate. I have some other stuff to deal with that I
won't bore you with, but they are going to be dealt with using some
new meds that I hope will do the trick. I want to be back to life and leave these debilitating symptoms behind. But it's
Friday, the weekend is ahead and I DON'T HAVE CANCER.
Frag
Two:
My
boys have been wonderful to me. I think they've been mighty worried,
but they've gladly picked up the slack on chores and brought me stuff
while I lay in bed, fighting the battle against my rebellious
digestive system.
Frag
Three:
The
Transporter is becoming quite the mechanic. His first car, a vintage
1991 Volvo 240, standard transmission, red, needs a lot of love.
What do you expect for a car whose new tires alone are worth what we
paid for it? He fixed it. It wouldn't start when we bought it (yes,
I know that's crazy, but if you have The Engineer, who has worked on
Volvos for 20 years, and The Swede, who worked FOR Volvo and ON
Volvos his entire adult life, then there's some knowledge floating
around and so far there hasn't been anything they haven't been able
to fix on our “fleet”) Red now starts, and The Transporter
grinned at the compliment about "becoming quite the mechanic" from his Morfar (that would be The Swede –
mother's father).
He won't own this car until he earns those last three
contracted A's, but having it sitting in the driveway, ready to go, is
what I think will be the final motivation to get him moving
academically.
Meanwhile, we celebrate that we don't live in a
covenanted community. I know just what they'd say about our four old
Volvos, our ginormous van, and our camper, all parked on our
property...
