The only constant is time

I was once told that the only thing constant is change.  I am not sure I believe this anymore.  The only constant is time passing.  The rate at which it passes seems to fluctuate based on whether I am enjoying myself, or something is mundane and tedious.  I have heard another saying, minutes pass like hours, hours like days, days like weeks, months like minutes.  I know there are variations to this saying, but in general, the now seems to take forever and the tomorrow seems far off, but yesterday seems such a long time ago.  As  I get ready for scans again, yep its time again, I can't help but think about the crazy ride over the last nine years.  In case you missed that, it has been nine years since my initial diagnosis on my right ear.  So you can expect another post next week.

On to other things, last week was Valentine's Day.  A day generally shunned and held in disdain in the Andy household.  If you have to have a holiday to show someone you care about them, you have bigger problems in your relationship than you are aware of.  I try to buy flowers on a fairly regular basis, I try to write letters to Peggy and hide them different places on a frequent basis, I even try to form poetry phrases when I get the chance.  So I don't need a holiday to tell me to show my sweetheart I love her.

Have said that, this year I did participate in the festivities, not because I was compelled to by mass marketing and commercialism, but because the opportunity arose and I felt inspired due to recent events.

Background:  I bought Peggy a pretty cool ring a few years ago, a purple almond shaped stone with flecks of different colors in it, well a week or so ago it misplaced itself in the halls of Weber State somewhere.  She was obviously upset, so I took the opportunity to distract her with a new ring, and some chocolate covered strawberries from Sweetly Divine in Logan.  They went over well, and she is happy again, still missing her other ring, but being consoled by her new friend.  If you see her ask her about it.  The ring shines almost a brilliant as her eyes.

All is well, and I need to head to work.
Merry Christmas and have a lovely day.
Andy Layne.
