Broken out here, as ever. Holding the page down is my new flask. I wish you could see it better- it has a giant squid on it. A giant squid! Giant! Squid! You can see another like it here. I love it.

Speaking of love: Sam and I went to meet with his vascular neurologist this afternoon. We've been waiting for this appointment for about four years now, I think. It's an immense relief to be able to say that finally, finally, finally, he has a clean bill of health. The doctors have declared him healthy- no more clot, no major vascular or clotting disorders, and no more Coumadin.

That's all I really have to say, today: the best thing that has happened in 4 years happened today.
