I have about four hours to write my main story and the patient’s story, which we call a sidebar.
I’m not stressing though. It’s very doable. I have all the notes and backup information right in front of me. I stress when I’m still waiting for an important interview at this point. I even added one extra interview today just to round out a couple things. It is all under control.
The stories about advances in heart procedures will be published in Sunday’s editions of The Tribune-Democrat as the latest installment in the paper’s American Heart Month project. Thanks to the good doctors and others who help me understand what they do so I can present it to the average reader, I hope, in a way he or she can understand.
Today got off to a good start when I was down another pound to 206 this morning. I guess skipping our usual Thursday night out may have helped. Dinner last night was a grilled ham and cheese sandwich. I know is a little fatty, but I figured one wouldn’t hurt. I guess the results speak for themselves.
Not sure what we’ll do tonight, but I’m already looking forward to Saturday. It is our de-stressing day on the farm. We will be visiting my mother on the 40 acre farm where I grew up. It’s just north of Curllsville. Did that help? How about just over the hill from Frogtown? Just off the Reidsburg Road?
OK, it’s in the Middle Of Nowhere, Clarion County.
The day will probably include some sittin’ and moseyin’ with a walk in the woods another good possibility.
Nothing like it to recharge the batteries for another week of life in the Big City!
And Becky pointed out I was incorrectly identifying her homemade Spanish rice soup as vegetable soup. It has a lot of vegetables and rice. My bad!
