even with the list of things that are making me crazy right now, there's one really good thing that stands out.

i don't have a brain tumor.

seriously; i had an mri (for other reasons, no tumor fears) two weeks ago, and while they were looking for other things, were there a brain tumor in there, they'd have noticed.

i mention this because a friend of mine isn't so lucky. her tumor, which the doctors thought was completely removed/in remission, is back. and she's back in the hospital.

i don't know her very well; i know her husband a little bit better. but they are sweet good people and they deserve nothing but the best of things.

this is not good christmas news.

everyone out there think good thoughts for them, okay? internet good vibes probably don't cure brain tumors, but it's hard to see where they'd hurt.
