Everything around us is closed today in anticipation -- government offices, schools, courts, etc. But not the law firm where I work. Oh, no, not them. sigh........ Oh, well, at least I have a job! And traffic will be light. I just hate spending the gas if we don't work the whole day! But I certainly have it much better than that young girl diagnosed with cervical cancer. Prayers go out to her and all those who suffer.

They needed some rain...but this is over the edge too much. Hope it all calms soon...we were hoping to get some, but it turned and we will get none now.

Just has a migraine headache she's dealing with right now. I've never watched "Big Brother" so am not familiar with Ms Goody. But if she can spread the word about the dangers of not having regular exams, hopefully some others will be spared the agony of cervical cancer.

A vaccination is now out, also (you're likely aware), Gardasil, taken in 3 doses, that more and more US health insurance companies are covering (or being required to cover for girls). Not full-proof and has some details, i.e., not applicable for everyone, but it'll help.
