hi. today started out as a great day. got to take a nice drive to crivitz to make babies and kindergardeners cry at our shot clinic there--not my ideal afternoon but i like to think i make a hard thing easier for kids and parents.
had a great taco salad for lunch at soup to nutz with the girls, felt good about the fact that the shell was baked, not deep-fried. looked around at some cute clothes at a little shop there, and went and did the shot thing.
a coworker who's retiring brought in sweet rolls so i volunteered to make a coffee run for the flavor of the day to the bakery/coffee shop.
well, i think i lost $120 in cash on the floor of the bakery. it was in my pants pocket for safe-keeping (yeah, right.). didn't realize at the time i left the bakery that it wasn't in my pocket.
dennis took me to the spoon for supper on the porch--it was lovely, 80 degrees, watched the water, and realized as we left the restaurant that the money was missing from my pocket! grocery money!!
on the way home i mentally rewound my day, replayed it, and in between mentally ripping myself a new one, realized that i probably left it on the counter or the floor of the bakery.
now granted, we shall not starve because it was the grocery money, but i was pee-o'd at myself in a big way for being menopausal-y and losing the money. dennis was strangely calm and accepting...
after prowling around the house for a while, unloading the dishwasher and throwing in a load of clothes, still bemoaning the loss of so much $$, i sat down at this pc and logged on to the care page that's been started for gina and bruce, my sister and brother in law who are kicking cancer butt.
bruce is freshly diagnosed with prostate cancer and had a bone scan today to look for metastases, as bones are the favored haunt of prostate ca cells when they start to roam the body. next therapy steps depended on the results of the scan.
HIS BONE SCAN IS NEGATIVE FOR CANCER CELLS!!!!
and now i am thinking....grocery money lost...a big deal??? am i going to blow away from lack of food??? how can i feel bad about such a thing when there is such good news from madison today?? and just like that, by reading the short posting about the bone scan results, my little dilemma slips perfectly into its' place in "the big picture". IT'S INVISIBLE.
