Ok, well I'm feeling much better now. Today was my first day back at work after a great 4 day weekend. I spent the weekend in Virginia just chillin and enjoying life. Well chillin is the wrong word, it was humid and hot as hell...and I think certain portions of my brain may have fried into crispy lumps. I tried to eat as much ice cream and frozen custard as possible to preserve portions of my brain.

I had a co-worker die last Thursday from breast cancer. She was a great woman. Very loving, caring, hard working caregiver. She took medical leave about a year ago to begin chemo and radiation.

Her funeral is tomorrow in Detroit and I had planned to go. I was advised by my superiors this wouldn't be in my best interest. Safety reasons. I was reminded that several ex-employees that I invited to leave my facility would be present. I really really hate this. At first I was somewhat defiant, angry and thought...fuck it. Then reality hit...this isn't Iowa. This is Detroit. I'm so sad.

Anyway....I love you Celeste. You are greatly missed.
