Thinking aloud

So, I'm sitting here with a million things running through my boggled mind. And not sure where to start pouring them out.

Things I learned this week:

I have an old friend I recently reconnected with through facebook that has been through hell. I mean HELL! He's my age, recently divorced and has battled Hodgkin's lymphoma all the while.
I think good for him for being so upbeat and optimistic. And I think selfishly, glad it's not me.

I learned Biochem...especially Lineweaver-Burke graphs, Hgb, Mgb, and enzyme kinetics can be basically understood in under 4 days.

I was reminded that some people may have clothes on their backs and a place to sleep, but they still may need toilet paper.

I was reminded that spell checker doesn't always catch my misstakes.

And I was reminded that there are people out there who believe in me, even if I think there belief is somewhat misplaced.

I started the PA blog a while ago. But haven' revisited yet. Too much and yet not enough has happened. CMU is still pulling my chain. But, I doubt I'll get in because they constantly say..."I just don't know how..." to me. Still, the rejection letter hasn't come.

I'm remembering why Schmucky Schmuckerson still makes me soooo angry! I think we've all had people in our lives that we expect a little something from and well....when they disappear for almost 2 years and then try to use you as a go between to someone else. Well, it's a bit annoying.
Plus, you see all the other people who've been let down by them too.

I remember why I love my real friends. Those troopers like buoys in the sea that help guide and shape you when the seas are calm or stormy. They give you a lifeline in the harshest of weather and just help you ride the waves.

I am reminded to be careful what you wish for...because you just might get more than what you're expecting. Especially, when you're expecting. (Love you CC.)

I am reminded that I am with my partner for many reasons, but mostly because he is a reminder to me everyday that God exists.

I am reminded that miracles can be anomalies and anomalies miracles.

Did you see the Lali the 2-faced baby? Check out the Sun article. It must be photoshopped, right?

Anyway...things are strange everywhere.
Life is good and bad.

And I have a lot in my head to get out.

Write you soon!

Until then...
