The verdict is in. Mom has ovarian cancer. And she's having surgery on the 16th followed by chemo. I set her up with a blog, but she's been just a little too busy to actually look at it or write anything. Anyway, if she gets around to trying blogging then, if she gives me permission, I'll leave a link over here.
Otherwise, things are okay. The new job is still fine. I'm fairly settled in there. The people are nice; the work is good. The hours and commute are fantastic. And so far, the whole arriving at work at eight am thing is really working for me.
