I apologize for disappearing....

I apologize for disappearing, all you who are my regular readers. I was diagnosed Tuesday afternoon with cervical cancer and I just haven't been in the mood to post. It isn't terribly serious, the cancer is non-invasive and can be corrected with a LEEP procedure. However, it did knock me off balance for several days and I have neglected this blog as a result. I am having the LEEP done this Friday and will stay home and rest for the remainder of the weekend. Please keep me and my family in your prayers because while this is really a minor thing, it is still somewhat worrisome. I will resume my regular posts tonight.
