So there is growing anxiety as the date of the PET scan comes close.  This has been just a whole mess of emotions, but at least we'll know quicker (PET in the morning, review with the doctor in the afternoon).  The PET scan was approved by Shannon's insurance, so that's good at least.  I can't imagine the stress for people that have to go through this for months and months.  So we are moving forward, anxiously tirelessly moving forward.

So the grass is coming up.  So on top of having to do most of the in home chores (kitchen is already mine, but now added the vast majority of Shannon's responsibilities), soon I'll have to start mowing the lawn.  I'm running out of distressing time, or injecting time where I shouldn't.  There is a burden here, but it is a burden I must take on.

I have been working from home.  I started back This past Wednesday and for the most part it is working out pretty well.  There are some problems and I do miss my dual monitors, but I'm making it work, so I can be here in case Shannon needs me.  So far it involves heavy cat management (she's only allowed to lift Freyja), and some moving of things.  She is becoming more and more independent, which is good.  We'll probably have to have the discussion of when I should go back to going into the office.  I've liked the working from home, but I can only bend the rules for so long (though with reasonable justification).
