Another Petty Report

Are you all wondering whatever happened with the actinic keratosis on my upper lip?  If not you may not have read my earlier post "Let's Get Petty".  So go read that and then read this.

It took about a week or so for the scab from the first round of treatment to come off.  At that point the spot looked pretty normal, however I noticed there was a tiny hard spot under the skin.  I wasn't sure whether it was just scar tissue or whether it was a few cells that were missed by the treatment.  So decided to try a few more treatments.

Slow Down

I've been thinking a lot about slowing down lately, perhaps because my life is about to speed up again.  In one week I return to my life as a power ranger.  It will be fun leading people through the longest cave in the world once again, but guiding tours at Mammoth Cave is a real game changer for every day life here at the Tweedledee.  For example, bread

can't be baked on any old day that we choose, it has to be baked

the day before our work week starts.  And I need to remind myself of all of the quick and easy meals I cook on busy days so that the boys can make our supper on work days.

Mindful Monday

It's too bad we think we can't afford the most important thing in the world.
