We'll be watching and waiting

It has been a year since my beloved had a cancer removed from his bladder and four periodic test for the recurrence of that cancer. Now, instead of every three months he will go every four months for a test. Doesn't sound all that much better but it is because it a step closer to going every five months for a year, then twice a year, and finally yearly. You see, his type of cancer is what the Dr called an annoyance like some skin cancers. You just have to keep watching to make sure they don't come back.

So when you find yourself at your happiest you also get bad news. Why? Who the hell knows, it's just how the universe works. I'm thrilled and a good friend is sitting in the hospital with her husband and her news isn't so good. He has Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a type of cancer. I've read it responds well to chemo and I do hope this is the case with him. They are a darling couple and I think of her by his side and how lucky he is to have her. I also think of her pain and wish there would be something I could do or say to help. But there is no magic cure, just waiting.

Babylon, where the whores are.

Vegas proved to be very entertaining. We never saw one show except for the traveling performance of the Human Comedy. God, it's a great place to people watch. If I only post what went on last weekend I'd have material for the rest of the year.

1. It was pride weekend so we weren't the only women staying together
   
2. Sure, I'll have another
3. Fast food with a Daiquiri Bar
4. Is vomit in the pool considered a party foul?
5. Why is it light outside?
   

It had been six years since the four of us all got together and we had so much to talk about we never had time to drink or gamble, or get into trouble.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
