Who needs a vacation!

These days I find myself reminiscing about my honeymoon in Jamaica last september.  It's really the last vacation I've had from work.  I'm really feeling the pull of needing another very very soon.  On that note my work-conference trip to Raleigh, NC was booked in full today. Hotel, airfare, everything.    Of course it's just an IBM hardware conference covering xSeries server platforms.  Maybe they'll have some seminars on the blade servers too.  Lets hope.  I'm not staying for the Lenovo laptop discussions though.

Good news came in tuesday about my wifes diagnosis.   She has been off work for over 3 months now, and in pretty bad shape with abdominal pains since last year.  For the past several months the doctors had been unable to tell us what it is.  Tuesday we found out.  It's food intolerances.  I'm not quite sure how they differ from food allergies, but mystery solved.  Her follow-up with the GI specialist is tomorrow.  Likely we'll be referred to a dietitian.  My grandmother also had surgury yesterday on her hand, which I have yet to hear back from her or my aunt yet.  I worry any time a woman of 87 goes under the knife.  I'm sure she'll be fine.

I spend last night playing paper mario on the gamecube since I'm determined to finish that one before getting the sequel for the Wii.  It was a nice break from working at home for the previous 3 days.  Anyhow. this is long enough for now.

Ciao.
