Happy Holidays, I Guess Greetings and salutations. The thanksgiving weekend is over. Tidbit number one: we’re having a boy. I’ll be posting the ultrasounds pretty soon, but I’m just happy to say that. Tidbit number two: I don’t have a job. I had a plan and a dream to get a job before Thanksgiving. It …

When it rains, it snows…
When it rains… In a move that still feels like a kick to the teeth, I was laid off from TI on Tuesday. I don’t really understand why, especially since our group needed people. However, I’m moving on, because there is always another opportunity.
Another day
Another day Lazing around the house today, at least until we get up and go to church to do stuff. All of this weekend seems to be mildly busy, but not ridiculously so. Unless, of course, we account for Labor Day. Really, who came up with the idea for a holiday that celebrates working? Except …

Don’t bite your tongue
Part 2 of 3 So having parts of your tongue cut off to teach you not to bite your tongue seems a bit extreme, but there’s another learning experience embedded, free of charge! As you might expect, having stitches in your tongue can be quite painful. I was on a liquid diet for a few …
Don’t bite your tongue
Part 1 of 3 Had an interesting learning experience this week. Having someone chop parts of your tongue off is an exciting way to learn something new. Seems I had a tumor on my tongue, as well as some “pre-cancerous tissues” that needed to be removed. The operation started with a spray on my tongue …
