Hello May

[nightdog_barks]

And goodbye April. I'd say I'm sorry to see you go, but I'd be lying. After all, you were the month in which:

1) I had a huge health scare.
2) Layla broke two (2!) of her leashes.
3) My trusty old Toshiba laptop became a big old paperweight.
4) My camera malfunctioned and I can't find the USB cable that fits it.
5) There was more, but thankfully I've managed to BLOCK IT FROM MY MIND.

So I'm hoping May is better. :-P

There are some good things:

1) The health scare seems to be getting better.
2) I bought a nice new leash and a new harness for Layla.
3) I bought a tiny Samsung Chromebook (using it right now).
4) Well, 4 isn't solved yet.
5) What?

Read John Preston's The Dig and loved it. Now reading Nell Irvin Painter's The History of White People.

What I was having were premature atrial contractions (PACs). I know that womens' heart attacks can present differently than mens', and plus I'd had shoulder pains the day before, all of which was making me tremendously anxious. So I really didn't want to be one of those people who says "OH IT'LL GO AWAY ON ITS OWN" and then drop dead of a massive coronary a day later. :D

I did get them to show me my EKG, which was pretty interesting. You could actually see the PAC happening! Amazing. I love science.

I am glad to hear that what you have is benign. It's always better safe than sorry with potential cardiac symptoms. I obviously agree with you about how cool science is. ;D
