Meh.

I've been somewhat quiet lately. Nothing particularly wrong... with me. Mom and Dad moved into their new home, and every free day that I've had has been spent helping Mom shop for furniture, drapes, etc. for the house. It's progressing nicely (And, yeah, she did order the sofa and the chairs that I once posted. The sofa looks great. The chairs still haven't arrived).

As for myself, I've come down with... something. I've had a sore throat, lost my voice, and developed an oppressive headache the last two days, but it hasn't really progressed to more. Hopefully, it won't. Took alka seltzer and carried the laptop to bed as I've had an early night.

Anyway, the meh stuff mostly has to do with work. Work itself is good. No problems there as far as work itself is concerned. It's that one poor co-worker had his father diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. The poor guy has been hit hard about his father who, at most, has weeks to live. Then, our business manager's husband was diagnosed with stomach cancer and his prognosis is very poor. She too has been incredibly upset. Then, another of co-worker who has (unbenownst to anyone in our office except our bosses) has been chronic liver failure for a couple of years now, has suddenly gone into a very, very dire state. They've upped him on the transplant list, but he now has a blood infection that they cannot clear up. As things stand, they can't do surgery even if they find a liver. And today, his wife called and said that he has gone now gone into renal failure as well. This is bad. This is very, very bad. And the poor guy -- who is nothing but nice -- is only thirty-four years old. All of this bad news hitting at once just has a cloud over the office such that even though work is going well, it's just such a sad time. I wish everyone the best. I desperately hope Robert (my co-worker) can improve and that a liver can be found. I wish that Howard (my co-worker whose father is dying) wasn't in such a horrible place and hope that Cathy's husband will recover. But it's all so very sad.

I wish things were better for everyone.

Meh.
