The week started off with the biggest snowfall of the year so far, which was still not enough for a snow day.

Hello, Lucky Cat.

Afternoon light.

Sneak peek at a top from a blog post next week. Wish I’d had this for Valentine’s Day!

March 5 was Caleb’s birthday. Watched a new show last night, “Afterlife” with Ricky Gervais on Netflix. I highly recommend. It’s heartbreakingly sad…but also sweet and funny. And early on (I watched the whole season in one sitting) about the only time he showed joy was when he was out with his dog. And it made me miss Caleb so much.

Two recurring themes in the new apartment: cats and light.

See?

This could get old real fast.

March 8 was the 2-year anniversary of my cancer diagnosis. THAT was a tough day. It’s not like in the movies where you meet with your doctor in his office with your significant other or a family member and you’re expecting some kind of news one way or the other. I got a phone call at work, confirming an appt for later that week. “Make sure you come in for that,” the stranger’s voice said, “because you do have cancer.” No – is this a good time? Or, are you sitting down, or any other comforting preamble. Just “because you do have cancer,” right there with me sitting at work. I’ll never forget that phone call.

Clever.

Sunset Seagull Convention

My car battery died for good one day and I missed a day of work for getting a new one. Last night the clocks went back an hour so this will be a week of adjustment. It’s always harder to get up in the morning the first week or so after that. And I think that was my week.
