Today marks a momentous occasion! Today my boss at Train Signal, Inc. brought in bagels for everyone. No reason, he just does that sometimes. But years and years of working for companies that would pair food with bad news (whether it be the announcement of new layoffs, longer hours, lower pay, etc.) has always made me a little suspicious whenever a treat or a meal would be provided at work. I know, it’s a little sad but whenever I saw food, my first gut reaction was “oh no, who’s getting canned?” I’ve just never worked for a company that was…you know…profitable AND grateful for its workers. So after a little over a year of working for a company that doesn’t reinforce a negative situation with food, I’m proud to say I no longer feel anxious while enjoying a surprise bagel! Yippee!
So today I am feeling very thankful, for a wonderful job, a wonderful boss, and wonderful coworkers.

The Bad News
My mom (Mom von Doehren…don’t freak out you Ackmanns) met with her oncologist today and she will have to begin treatment again. She just has to wait for insurance to approve the treatments, and then she’ll begin as soon as possible. For those who are familiar with her treatments, these are the very same ones that caused her blood sugar to skyrocket and caused her all the swelling and heart trouble. So, needless to say, prayers would be appreciated.
The Good News
Mom gets out of jury duty after all! Hooray! Who says the system doesn’t work?

For those of you who don’t know, Alan and I will be going on a cruise in December. And with that date soon approaching…
…we’re getting really excited! Well, except for the part where I tried on my old swimsuit and it didn’t fit. But luckily I got to take advantage of some end-of-the-summer sales, so I should be well stocked now in “cruise clothes” that fit me.
