M sent another email indicating that she's in bad shape, and she doesn't know how much longer she can live like that. I don't know what to say or how to say it. I mean, there's a breath I hold every time I've received a middle-of-the-night email from her. It sounds like her pain is acute and her suffering endless. But I also think, she's six months older than me! She should be living her life and fighting.
I think she's been deprived of a good ten plus years of life. Just awful. I think she had some pain issues a decade ago, and maybe this is all resulting from some dental work she had done in the past. It's weird and fluky and it could happen to anyone.
So I pray that she won't do anything to further help herself. And I pray for S, because he must be suffering terribly, too.

Ten Things on My Mind
1. I wish I hadn't suggested a baby shower for S. Just being honest.
2. Looking forward to this three day weekend, so I can actually work out.
3. I've been craving chocolate lately. Weird.
4. 4:30 meetings are evil.
5. I really miss my nephews.
6. This bizarro John Kerry/James Taylor "You've got a friend" things is too weird.
7. I need to get a new suit.
8. I'm over the NFL, sadly, after last Sunday's sad loss.
9. Has it been almost a month since Christmas vacation? Where does the time go?
10. Pomegranate green tea is an afternoon tradition now.

Sooo...
It's been a month.
The holidays rushed by...the Bahamas and Michigan and then back to DC, lots of shopping for mattresses and disastrous bookshelves, NYE and a trip to Louisiana. And back again, and unprepared for Cowboys devastating losses and everything else that 2015 may or may not bring.
And the world is responding, with violent attacks in Paris and a metro smoke incident resulting in one death. The world is troubling. And awful cold.
Enroute to and from Lafayette, I read The Looming Tower. Captivating read, though the book is nearly a decade old. You forget how frightening and on edge the world was. Watching the Charlie Hedbo and Jewish grocery store attacks, you remember. Like it was yesterday.
So I will write more. I promise. But what a start to 2015, huh?
