Giving Thanks, again

Today, I take back all the moaning and complaining I did about UI Quick Care, the minor emergency center that had my wrath a while back after closing at an odd hour for lunch. The odd hour being the exact time I needed care.

But today, they saved me. I met them at the door when they opened at 7 and was diagnosed and out the door to the pharmacy by 7:20. I have a bladder infection that was swiftly becoming a kidney issue.

Now I'm on cipro, the antibiotic they give people who have been exposed to anthrax! So I'm sure I'm well on my way to, well, wellness. I also get a great little pain pill that turns my pee orange. Fun times.

I'm dealing with all this while working from home, as I have no sick days left. I have to be better by tomorrow, because I have the day off with Henry, whose school is closed for conferences. I'm excited to spend the day with him. We're going to see Megamind (a Dreamworks movie) and do Christmas shopping.

So, I Changed My Mind

More than four years ago, the blog and I parted ways. I needed a change. A whole lot happened in my world since then. I switched jobs a couple times. My kid went from an elementary school tween to a teenage high schooler. We built a new house and moved. Both my parents and my sister have passed. The world around me changed as well. Mass shootings, racism, the #metoo movement, a misogynistic bigoted narcissist in the White House ... go ahead, add to the list. Toss your woes into this dumpster fire we call 2019.  I appreciate my previous sentiment, that I was no longer wandering. But let's be honest, we're all trying to find our way through this mess. I decided to reboot the blog to give myself a creative outlet, a way to sort through the confusion and frustration and attempt to make sense of it all. I have a voice, and I'm not keen to silence it anymore. Guess what? I'm back, bitches.

In memoriam...

I remember the first time I heard the name "Les Anderson." A bunch of Wichita State University communication majors were sitting around on campus, talking about classes they planned to take. Several people warned me: watch out for Les Anderson. He was tough. He had a murderous grading scale. It was nearly impossible to get an A. They weren't kidding. But he wasn't tough just to be a tyrant. From his teaching sprang a fleet of incredible, successful journalists, writers, editors, broadcasters, public relations experts, advertisers, non-profit professionals...I could go on and on. Most importantly, he created a legion of people who wanted to make a difference in the world. The greatest gift Les gave to them all? He believed in them, cared about them for their own personal stories as well as the stories they told for class assignments or in the pages of his hometown newspaper. Les was my teacher. My boss. My mentor. My conscience. My champion. My friend. When I started c...
