Main Conference Day 1

My doctor saw something irregular in my mammogram and wants me to have an ultrasound. But this has happened before and was nothing. I'm getting tired of doctor's appointments. I'm getting tired, period.

I finally got a decent night’s sleep and overslept an hour. I needed the sleep. I dreamt about my mom right before I woke up. I was squeeing about some baby tomatoes that I had, and she said, “Stop that!”

At breakfast, we had my friend from yesterday and my boss. At lunch, the team that I’m on had a table. The sessions today were pretty good.

The handyman for my mom’s house is driving me crazy. Honestly, I feel like everyone wants a piece of me and I’d like it to stop. He’s complaining because the trust didn’t pay his bill right away.

I’m going to blow off the reception tonight and rest. And maybe get less cranky. Maybe.

Okay, I can get a two-liter bottle of soda from Domino's and pizza! And cinnamon sticks, I think.

I took a nap and actually slept. That helps. I ordered a pizza.

The pizza was fabulous and I have leftovers. And the cinnamon sticks were good too. Sometimes it's the little things in life.

I'm wiping out. I'm going to go to sleep soon.

I read an article in the New York Times about people losing their native language. My dad did. He doesn't speak Lithuanian although he understands it.
