Wow, I've been awful at keeing up this blog. I think I have good reason however. I chose the Green Day song as my heading for this point because I think the title is appropriate, although the song has a much different meaning than mine.
September was filled with extreme highs and lows. It started off frantically with Labor Day in Cape May, New Jersey with some friends, followed by Chrissy's surprise bridal shower and my 33rd birthday. I've written about all of that. Then I had to have an outpatient procedure which included a biopsy that had me bent out of shape until I learned my results this week. Things are, for the most part fine. We'll just keep on top of everything every six months.
Following this, my dear grandmom Tess passed away after a long fight with her ailing lungs due to years of smoking and working in an asbestos factory when she was young. This was extremely hard to deal with even though I knew it was coming. I was lucky enough to get back to PA and be with her until the very end. The next several days were stressful and packed with family visits. I offered the eulogy at her funeral and could barely even get through the funny parts without crying. But I think she would have liked what I had to say.
After everything ended, I came back to DC and jumped back into work and caught up with some friends. I saw the last Nationals game against the Phillies which was fun. The last weekend in September I headed to Chicago for work and fun. Ann flew down from Minneapolis and we stayed a few days since I had a good rate at the Fairmont Hotel. Even though our suite looked like Jack Tripper decorated it (and may have been the last person to actually stay in it), we had a great time. I'll write a post about Chicago following this. What a great city!
Well, that is me catch everyone up on things. Maybe I'll actually share this blog with more than just the few people who know about it... We'll see..
