Commencement

The Lincoln College class of 2016 has duly graduated, and I duly marched in the ceremony and applauded the graduates. Another year bites the dust :) (I was wishing that they would play "Another One Bites the Dust" during the ceremony, but alas, no.)

The rain nicely held off too. They're predicting thunderstorms in about an hour, and you actually can see the storms on radar, so I decided to eat dinner at home and let it do its thing.

I'm a little concerned because one of the cats threw up stomach liquid this morning, and it looked a little bloody (of course, I discovered it when I was scrambling to go to Commencement), but both cats seem fine. I'll keep an eye on them.

Hell

My mom is having health problems. The chemo is suppressing her white cell count, and it's wiping her out. And they've discovered that she has bad arthritis in her neck. Think good thoughts for her, will you? To say I'm worried is an understatement. I wish that I lived closer.

Among other things, it's up in the air when she'll feel well enough to come down here, and I don't know how exactly I'll be able to go up there if I'm making Harlee's food from scratch. So we're playing everything by ear. As John Lennon said, "Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans...."
