Chemo brain at work

Greetings all, Having been summoned to a meeting with my supervisor and our manager, to discuss "performance issues," I'm expecting to have to defend my somewhat-eroded attention to detail.

Jill Biden: No Latecomer to the Breast Cancer Cause

As of early Sunday morning, Jill Biden took on a new title: possible Vice Presidential wife. (“Second Lady” sounds so tacky, doesn’t it?)
