No, I wasn't in Brazil. I spent last week in the Work Tunnel. It's been a long time since I've been in a serious work tunnel, not in about 10 years. It was a week of long teaching days and grading homework at night. And then a weekend of church stuff. I'm feeling as if I've eaten half a pound of penny candy - sort of buzzed and yet lethargic.
Two friends of mine have recently been diagnosed with cancer. My most recent mammogram was irregular and I'm going for an ultrasound tomorrow. I haven't told anyone. It's not the sort of thing I discuss with colleagues. I don't want to worry my mom. And there's a kind of institutional concern that I'd get from church folks that I'm not quite ready for.
It's probably nothing, right?
