Bramble Rambles:

  I woke up this morning and watched the sun rise through my bathroom window, as I did my hair in preparation for a biopsy.  I watched fluorescent lights more intensely than ever before, swearing they are as bright as the sun, as the doctor and her assistant poked around for samples.  I stepped foot on campus soil for the first time in three months and felt like a foreigner.  I came home and felt like I had been gone for years.
  To say today has been weird, may be an understatement.
  
  The doctor explained there are four stages of infection, and the first stage is just mild.  The there is carcinoma en suite 1. Also very mild and nothing scary.  But carcinoma en suite 2 and 3 are the scary cancers.  Today's exam leaves me with some anxiety, but my doctor said I looked okay.  Breathe.

  UCCS bureaucrats enjoy passing my questions on to other people, or simply send me links to figure things out on my own.  Both paths suck.  So I have no news on that front.

  Basically I am rambling.

  I did get some pictures of pretty dead and dormant things for you to contemplate. Because I like spindly twisted and bare trees. Remember? Skeletal structures of small things. Indeed.
