Happy Thoughts: Follow Up

This is a follow up to the previous post. I don’t have any details but I am hoping I will get to learn more when I get home tonight.

Here’s what I do know…

Bellana defended her senior thesis paper this morning and it went well. How well did it go? The one specific piece of information I have is that she got an A.

Kick ass! Damn, my step daughter is brilliant! There was never a doubt that she would excel in this regard. I had full confidence that she would slay the review board.

If you were kind enough to send her your happy thoughts this morning, I thank you. Though really… she didn’t need it. She’s a freakin’ genius after all.

Graduation is a little more than two weeks away. I am so proud. I can’t even put it into words, I am so proud.

Excellent job, Bellana.

Excitement

I was about to start writing something but tonight’s episode of The Walking Dead started. We need to wait for a commercial break. Hold on…..

….okay, commercial break.

We had a FaceTime call with my step daughter tonight. Always great to check in. She was telling us that she got accepted into a research project. Jen asked her what they were working on. It was all casual conversation like.

As soon as the question was out though, Bellana lit up like the sun. She started talking about the project with a level of excitement that was unreal. It was amazing to witness. She was thrilled.

She is so clearly studying the right subject. 100%.

At one point she was talking about cloning cells. I was going to ask if she could clone Patches. Just before I did, Patches walked into the room and vomited about 20 pounds of puke onto our nice hardwood floor.

Yeah, maybe we don’t clone Patches just yet.
