The Main Characters

The Man (of the House): The love of my life. Severely addicted to books (that take up WAYYYY too much space in our house) and raw garlic. We've been married 16 years, but involved for many more. Long story....

Our Kids:
SC:  Age 14. Book addicted like both her parents. Serious, but with a nice sense of humor. Well mannered in the eyes of the world, but at home,it can be another story--she's a teenager(!)

JR: Age 10  I think of her as a Disney Princess's evil twin. All the eccentricity of both sides of the family wrapped up in a sweet little body and an adorable smile. People find her a darling. I do too, but I also find her exhausting!

The Beasts: Our 2 cats, both adopted from animal rescue. "Bart" is a big, solid black, total teddy bear of a cat. Our brown tabby queeen "Bella" is  in love with The Man, though she seems to like me too!

Me: Children's librarian by day, tired keeper of all of the above by night. When I think of my life, I think of Nicole Hollander (Sylvia)'s immortal line about things that are easier than combining a family and a career. Like swimming the Amazon covered in peanut butter....

Want The Latest Mishegosse?

I Can't Talk About This

Only to say that because of menstrual irregularities that are probably perimenopausal I had a horrible, incredibly painful test  and have to wait 7 days for the results of the biopsy.

My doctor says it is "almost certain" that nothing is wrong and that the likelihood that I am fine is 99 percent.

It's the "almost" and that other 1 percent that are making me sick to my stomach and fearful beyond fearful.

I have to go on a road trip with my family on Tuesday. I have to celebrate my birthday with my parents and family on Wednesday. I have to celebrate Thanksgiving with them all and then sit there on Friday, waiting for the phone call to tell me my results.

And I can't let the kids know. I'm not sure I even want my mother to know.

I can't talk about this any more.
