I’d like to write something here. I actually have a lot on my mind. I can’t connect things, though. My mind is a fog. I’m having difficulty even thinking or remembering things. I keep forgetting things and even putting them into my PDA or writing them down isn’t helping because I forget where I’ve written things or if I’ve recorded them in the PDA.

I’ve forgotten to say the surgery went well. The last three weeks have sucked but the surgery went well. The edges of the flesh they extracted came back clear of cancer.

This was a bad one, though. In the six months between my last check-up and this one resulted in a melanoma that was big enough for a 4 inch incision. So, now I’m on check-ups every 3 months instead of six.

I’ve been having trouble sleeping. At first it was because the stitches were at a place that hit every time I turned. Now it’s because the incision hurts whenever my body twists.

So, between the stress of the surgery, not sleeping, and just trying to keep up with things, I”m not doing well. I can’t keep my head clear. I’m having trouble doing school work.

I just can’t focus. And I’m irritated by that…which makes it all worse.

Friday I did get some good news. A position that I applied for came open and I got the job offer. It will take some of the stress of finances off of my shoulders. It’s also going to be awesome in terms of my schooling because it’s dealing with many of the issues I’m studying in my program: literacy and technology. I’m so excited about it.

I’m currently working in the distance learning area and I’ll be moving to e-learning. It’s going from front-end to back-end in terms of producing online courses.

I’m so excited about that.

It starts October 31st. Yay!

Okay…enough for now. I can’t think of anything more and my head is in a fog. I seriously feel really dizzy and foggy today. Blech. Bad time for this all to be happening.

I’ll update again soon.
