Difficult Though It May Be...

So...I sit here at 2:43 a.m. on the morning after a lazy July 4th holiday.  The rain is pouring, and I've just finished watching C-SPAN vignettes on Presidents of the United States.  I caught from Grover Cleveland's second term to George W. Bush.  I thought I'd give you an update on my goals as set forth in my initial post.

Physically, I have been unable to abstain my drinking cokes and eating chocolate.  I also have yet to get back into the gym.  Although I could easily blame my schedule and other such excuses for my lack of control in that regard, truth be told, my comfort level is the only reason I have yet to start.  I am hoping that some day soon my will catches up to my brain and begins to direct my body what all three know should be done and must be done if I am to live a long life and achieve everything I wish for myself!

Mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, not enough time has passed to evaluate any behavior.

I am happy to report that my new paralegal has started.  I now have a paralegal and a paralegal assistant.  Unfortunately, I recently learned that the details surrounding my hiring of the paralegal have been badly misinterpreted and sorely mistaken by the paralegal's former employer, someone I know and respect and who I consider as a professional acquaintance and friend in the legal community we both share.  As awkward as this matter may be, I assure her and anyone who knows us that my intentions and actions have been nothing but honorable.  I simply made an inquiry as a result of a prior comment made to me, and that inquiry ultimately led to a formal interview with and ultimate hiring of the paralegal.

I ought to be getting to bed soon, as I have lab tests at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in the morning to check on my post-cancer health.  Thus far, all of my tests since my final set of chemotherapy treatments have been nothing but good news.  My blood counts may not ever be normal again, although I continue to hope for such normalcy, my counts have been steady and much better than when I was in the throws of the blood cancer at its full force.  Wish me luck!

Reading your blog caused many questions to arise:

What is your age? How long have you been a lawyer? How long are you married? What is this cancer you refer to? What type and when were you diagnosed? What is the nature of your law practice? What is the difference between a paralegal and a paralegal assistant? Why do you think you are a workaholic, other than that you say you love what you do? How does your wife feel about you blogging the details of your, and by extension her, personal life?

I don't mean any of these comments as critical, just giving you some ideas of what one reader would be interested in learning more about in terms of additional details based on the facts you have shared so far...

Steve, thank you for your comment. As time goes on, my readers will learn more about me. I'd rather than throw it all up at one time! LOL I will certainly keep your questions in mind as I continue to write. Thank you for reading!
