The Worst Thing Today

Sometimes, access to knowledge can put you ahead.

And sometimes, even with that, you can still wish you didn't know.

Was blindsided this morning with the news that one of my work colleagues lost his battle with cancer over the weekend. This was a recurrence that I thought they had contained, but he was having a lot of issues with the treatment, so not sure what exactly caused his death. So sad. He was a great person to work for.

That's such sad news Ludmilla, poor man.

Sorry to hear of your colleague, Ludmilla.

Last month has been a bad one for the Renaissance community in NorCal. The head of Thistle House, a large guild which is responsible for guild scheduling at several faires, died in a freak jet-ski accident. I didn't know him well, but he was always pleasant and courteous, and now nobody knows what is going down with the re-enactment section of the upcoming Celtic Musid Festival in Grass Valley.

And if that weren't difficult enough, another guild-master, who handles muv of the arrangements for two big central California faires, was killed in an auto accident over the weekend.

My branch manager got hit by a SUV as it was backing up earlier today. She was banged up, went to the hospital to be checked out, fortunately nothing was broken. Now she's at home resting.

Went in for tests because of persistent abdominal pain. I appear to have a 6.6 cm mass where my right ovary ought to be.

This could be very inconvenient.

I really ought to finish that dratted prequel and launch the five novels I've spent a decade re-writing.

Very upset to hear this. Of course it does sound very serious and I am thinking of you. I hope you get prompt attention and treatment to address this and hopefully put it in the past.
Yes - positive vibes coming your way.

Good luck with the treatment. My thoughts are with you for a painless and speedy recovery.
