Odor-meter Update.
I still stink. And I hereby resolve to keep a complete change of clothes in my office, in case this ever happens again. current musical accompaniment:”Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time” sung and I guess written by Paul McCartney. I hear that song and wonder if it isn’t true after all that Paul died in…
A little more on the vacation.
A little about my trip, then. The flight out was abysmally awful, as noted on yesterday’s entry. We went from the airport to The Professor’s grandparents’ house to touch base with them. His grandparents essentially raised the Professor – they formally adopted him, and he regards them as his parents while he sees his biological…
Day late, Dollars short
So here’s my March to date: Work. Ambivalence, thy name is employment. I hesitate to complain, because I’m grateful this place hired me, I’m grateful that I’ve got some sort of income, I’m grateful that my social horizons now extend beyond a husband and a handful of cats. But I look at life as I…

“If a cat spoke, it would say things like, ‘Hey, I don’t see the problem here’.” ~ Roy Blount,Jr. Oh gads, what a day it has been so far. We ran into a problem here at work, which was totally our own fault. The substitute for my regular government contact who oversees our procedures and…
Cat memories, Squirrels, and Statistics
Damn. Came to work without my wallet. Don’t even have enough change to get forty cent coffee out of the machine. Most days I go all day without eating. Today, since I can’t buy anything, I’ve decided I’m starving. Go figure. I was going through the pictures from my digital camera, trying to get them…
Whining, Training, and Nashville.
The alarm clock woke me up this morning for the second day in a row. That never happens. I’m always awake before the alarm clock. I don’t suppose it’s a sign of impending Apocalypse, though. Just exhaustion. My back hurts. Other regions hurt. I’m tired. I’m whiney. I’d rather not have to sit with myself…
this is the kind of letter that is tough to write, but you pull it off. too bad they can’t know more about you.
I think that’s pretty good. I tried to read it from the recipient’s perspective. I think that you waited until this time of year is actually very good. The first holiday season after losing a loved one is very difficult, and this letter might make it easier. The only thing I might even suggest to add is that you are taking exceptional care of their child’s liver, that you don’t drink and are careful about medication that could damage it. They might feel better to know that the doctors are unsure as to why your original liver failed but that you were not engaging in behaviors that could have put you at risk. Oh, and you could add that it is working normally.
The above are just suggestions, and those particulars are not necessary, I suppose, but if it were the Kid, I would feel better to know that whoever got his organs would take good care of them.

Great letter. You have always had a way with words.
Beautiful…

Beautiful.
What a beautiful letter.
I would not change a thing.
Telling them about your past health would only make them sad and they do not need to know that.
You did an excellent job telling them just what they needed to know….that you are leading a ‘normal, healthy and happy life’ once again, thanks to their ‘decision’.
That will make them ‘happy’ knowing that they did they right thing. Also knowing that part of ‘them’ is living on, in you, is comforting to them, alone.
Again….
What a Beautiful letter.
Love,
Honey
P.S…
You letter also tells them…
What a ‘Beautiful person’ you are.
I think it’s a great letter. I think you did a great job showing how much a difference it has made to your life. I’m glad you were able to find the words.
