Another Monday

Here is another Monday. Like most, Mondays are not my favorite day, but this particular Monday is markedly different. So much has happened in just one week, it's hard to get my head around it. Found out I might/might not have cancer in my liver. Found out I might/might not have cancer in my breast. Thousands of people were devasted by the terrifying tornados just miles from my home. Osama Bin Laden is dead. I feel as though this is a lot of information for anyone to process, particularly in such a short amount of time. I hope that we can keep the dramatic and life-altering news to a minimum for the next few weeks (at least).

I am trying to avoid thinking about the things that I am inevitably thinking about by attempting to regain my focus. For example, this past weekend we held a wedding shower for a close friend. This coming weekend, my dear sweet, Christina is getting married, so I will be enjoying wedding festivities Thursday evening through Saturday. And in the meantime I am working on a final, and trying to get my head back on so that I can resume my comps preparation. To be clear, the latter is not on the same fun scale as the formers, but I'll take distraction where I can get it. Keep praying if you can, and I hope to have some good news for next time.

In the meantime, I think this picture (courtesy of my cousin K, taken on Easter) is a pretty good representation of the state of confusion we're all kind of in right now. Have I mentioned I love my family?
