On lumps and tranquility

My discovered lump has doubled in size but, interestingly enough, I'm very mellow about all this. I learned a long time ago not to fret about things I have no control over. I see the doc tomorrow morning and we'll go from there. It's still not painful at all, which makes being mellow a hell of a lot easier than if otherwise.

A relatively free day. I gave a student feedback early this morning but I think the rest of the day is my own. A short day tomorrow, picking up projects and watching student videos, three of them if they all show up.

And I'll read today, too, of course, being very much into Eternity. Nothing like an old-fashioned epic story that grabs you instantly and never lets go. We don't teach enough about storytelling in our university writing classes. Indeed, in my screenwriting class, where it's a very big deal, I get lots of students who tell me it's the first time they've ever heard the term "storytelling" in a WRITING class. Sad.
