Two very singular things have happened just this morning. One, my mother was about to come into the city in a panic because I hadn't returned her phone calls. As in she called me four times yesterday and is so used to my being prompt with return calls (I know--what? Me? Prompt?) that she was sure I had died. For my part, I was sure that somebody else had died because when does she call me four times in the space of about as many hours otherwise? It's nice to be loved.

Two, my boss asked me if I would mind going to England to learn a technique if it came to that. I think I goggled and drooled on my shirt a little. Yes, clearly, I would mind. I told her I would go, certainly, but I confessed up front that I was a bit panicky about taking on that much expense to teach me something. Go all the way to the UK? My God, I'd have to be learning brain surgery for it to be worth that much. Really, she would go herself, except it's harder as she has a small child. I'd only be going for a few days, but still! ME! Travelling for work! To ENGLAND. THE PLACE I SAID JUST YESTERDAY THAT I WOULD MARRY IF I COULD.

Probably won't happen, though, right? Won't get hopes up, nossireebob.
