353 - Missed it...




I missed New Year's Day somehow.  I wasn't drunk or hung over.  I just seemed too busy to really take much notice.  I did manage to see the new year in, though.  I went to bed around 9:30 p.m. but woke up at 11:59 p.m. (quite by accident) and watched as the clock on my HD/Digital TV box changed to 12:00 a.m.  I even waited an extra second (leap second) just in case the cable company didn't.  Then I went back to sleep.  No drink(s).  No party.  No outward celebration except to notice it was lightly snowing.  A very nice way to start a new year.

Monday is fast approaching.  I'll be glad when it's over.  I dread the possibility that they'll have to stick all kinds of needles into my nose to do the biopsy or remove some of it making reconstructive surgery likely.  I can't wait for it to be over with.  Living every day not knowing if the cancer is going to spread somewhere else isn't easy.  I never thought it would be, but it's more difficult than I had imagined.  Now I know.  I can truly empathize now with so many people I know (and don't know) all around the world.

It's 5:00 a.m.  Time to get ready for work.  It'll be a long, boring day.  Well, it will be if I keep telling myself that it will.  Time for some self-motivation.  Now.  Do it.  Ok.  It's going to be a productive and fulfilling day at work today.  There.  I'm set.  What about you?
