After my previous post I feel I owe it to whomever takes the time to read this to say that its starting to feel like life is trying to compensate me for the family troubles. Also, writing that previous post did seem to do me a world of good as far as putting things in perspective goes. I've had a few talks with my parents and we're all on the same [realistically optimistic] page in regards to the upcoming surgery.

So, what is this ambrosial delicacy I speak of thats come from, really, the sourest of lemons?

Yesterday after driving across town to the bank on my lunch break only to find that it closes at 12 on Saturdays, I remembered that my grocery store has a new PNC kiosk. The teller, who was very friendly by the way, walked me over to the ATM machine and showed me how to cash my own checks using it. Finally! Liberated from inconvenient bank hours!

I also found a lovely knitting pattern for an adorable bag. I plan on buying a bit of fabric from ReproDepot.com so I can line it. I think I'll be putting bamboo handles on it too.

I have to get ready for work, but more later. I have an idea for a good post and I'll kick myself if I don't write it.
