A Few Quick Updates (Because None Really Warrants Extended Commentary)

Relevant(?) things that happened in the past few days:

My financial health advisor -- i.e., Sib4 -- has figured out what was going on with the rather large bills I was getting from SCCA. It seems my health insurance plan carries a much larger annual deductible than I had previously. Once I pay the current round, my deductible will be met and I can stop worrying that every round of Xeloda is going to cost me a few thousand dollars. So yet again, thank heavens for my job and the health insurance it provides. 

All of this is good news, as tomorrow is Oncology $20,000 Thursday. This one may be more interesting than usual as this last round was pretty terrible, particularly on my feet. It's possible the PA may elect to have me take a break for a few weeks to give them time to recover a bit more. I can't say I'd be totally opposed to the idea, though I need to balance it against the upcoming Spain & Morocco leg of the GCW Tour, which is basically just two rounds away. Thus, I might push to beat up my feet for one more round than take five or six weeks off in preparation and for the duration of my trip.

There's no need to bother looking as no new squares have been added, but I did finally figure out enough HTML to get the display on my Periodic Table page to work correctly -- at least on my computer. (No guarantees for those of you reading on iPads, phones or whatnot. I don't trust my coding skills that much.) After learning about "vertical-align: top" on some website somewhere, I started randomly plugging that command into various places in the page's HTML. Unfortunately, none of the places I tried actually worked, but with a little more searching I found a different website that actually gave me enough information to figure out where the command needed to appear. So now it all works, with the squares and text all tightly aligned and appearing where they should be. Yay for me -- especially since the last time I tried programming was probably when I was in the seventh grade and took an elective that taught BASIC on an Apple II. 

Not much progress yet on the head shrinking, as scheduling challenges will prevent me from meeting with my identified guy for a couple of weeks. I did go onto SCCA's website and located a monthly support group for my brand of cancer, so I'm thinking I'll give that a try at least once, as much out of curiosity's sake as anything else. Every cancer patient has to balance quality of life with quantity of life in their decisionmaking, but after talking with the group organizer I'm starting to realize that the default standard seems to be 0:100 when mine is more like to 98:2. It should make for an interesting evening, though it's not until mid-May. 

I guess that's pretty much it on the cancer front for now, at least until tomorrow's appointment with the PA.
