If you have any spare thoughts, please send them to St. Louis. My aunt Jill has been battling leukemia for a few years now, bouncing in and out of the hospital, and lately things have not been going well for her. She was feeling well enough to come to Allyson and Chad's wedding--we were so glad she was there. Allyson and I have become closer with Jill and her husband Mike in our adult lives and we don't remember when or why that switch happened, but we are so glad we have gotten to know them better in the past few years. Jill is currently on a clinical trial, fighting for every day. Please keep her and her family and friends in your prayers.
I find it hard to focus my thoughts when I want to be elsewhere...
I've been busy writing on my thesis and working to get our big paper out the door. Classes have been going smoothly (so far) and I have a slew of presentations lined up. Turned in my form requesting my oral defense (November 10th) today, and ISU football starts tomorrow.
But I just wish there was something I could do. I wish there was something to say.
All I can think is I hate cancer.
