It’s been awhile since I’ve written but this week has been exhausting and honestly I’ve just been too sad. I’ve talked to Tiffany almost every day and the biopsy came back positive for T-cell lymphoma. She’s starting her first round of chemo as we speak.

Tiffany lost her father (my uncle David) three years ago and has a two year old son Loghan who is just two months younger than Ethan. It just seems cosmically unfair to have this happen now. You really should not have to get cancer when you have little kids at home. The thought of leaving them without a mom is unbearable.

Life at home is going well. I am now (semi) officially going to Beaufort, SC next year. The detailer got back to me and said it is a go, now I just need official orders cut. Pretty soon it will be time to get the ball rolling as far as renting out the house next year and making plans for daycare for the kids.

I just finished a great book, The Little Stranger. It’s a ghost story so just in time for Halloween, but it’s not hokey with sheets and chains. Much more subtle and a great psychological thriller. I heard it is supposedly being nominated for a Booker Prize.

Also in entertainment news: if you love True Blood/Sookie Stackhouse as much as I do check out the interview with Charlaine Harris on Penguin! None of what she writes is what I would call great literature but her southern vampire series are pretty humorous light-hearted mysteries.
