The Delay

It has been called to my attention that I’ve been lapse in my bloggage. Allow me to clarify

First- the last month got busy. New job, working four or five days a week at the bar in addition to taking care of my housemate. That crowds any schedule. Love the job, though this is the first week since I started that I have absolutely no shifts behind the bar, and I don’t quite know what to think of that. Even the weeks when I had only one, I was still clearing $200 for that day and that’s pretty damn all right. Not getting rich, but who couldn’t use an extra couple hundred a week???

Second- my birthday came and went, 26 September. Didn’t do a whole lot for it, actually requested to work it and got to, after which I got to enjoy one of my favorite local musicians, then sing some karaoke. Went home alone, which was sort of my goal, since the housemate was at her boyfriend’s and I am still decidedly off the dating market. Two events recently challenged that status but more about that later.

Third- my housemate got the call. No, she’s not becoming a nun (that was the joke I made when she told me); the transplant call. St. Louis called and said they had a pancreas and kidney ready for her. We got her to the airport within the hour, they helicoptered her to St. Louis and were going to do the transplant the next day.

Then her mom called me that night. Turned out the pancreas wasn’t viable, so the transplant was off. Talk about taking wind out of the sails.
