Besides getting the divorce finalized, in order of crappiest to best, I’ve:

• Had a tooth removed…while I was awake (squiiiick)

• Had two mammograms — a “regular” one and a magnifying one. No breast cancer (thank all the gods) — but there’s calcium in them thar boobs. Specifically, specks of calcium all throughout — no clusters. As long as I’m cluster-free, all’s well. If they start to become clusters, that could be a warning sign of breast cancer…so I get the pleasure of another mammogram in six months. Better safe than sorry, though.
• I took a Flash class over the weekend — easy and fun. Watch for my animations at a site near you — gotta put those mad skillz to work!
• I won a design award. :) Specifically, Graphic Design magazine’s “Inhouse Design Award,” multimedia/interactive division, for branding and designing my company’s series of e-newsletters.

  An inhouse designer is someone who works for one company, be it a corporation, foundation, non-profit, whathave you, as opposed to a designer that works for an agency and has many clients. Inhouse people sometimes get a bum rap because we don’t have a breadth of experience with different clients — but, on the other hand, we know our specific market really really well.

  So: I submitted my stuff, and won. Boo-yah! :)

A busy month, no?
