It's almost 5 pm and I haven't eaten anything today. Why? I keep forgetting to go get something. I wasn't hungry, why should I freakin' eat? Even now I'm not particularly hungry. If I go look in the fridge/freezer/pantry I'll probably get hungry, but I'm not right now. Glah. I'm annoyed.

You are DNA. You're a smart person, and you appearincredibly complex to people who don't knowyou. You're incomparably full of information,and most of it is useless. Which Biological Molecule Are You? brought to you by Quizilla

is home!!

Rob's dad is doing ok – he's out of ICU. They took a lower lobe of his lung, some lymph nodes, and apparently part of a rib. The nodes were clear, and they think they got all of the cancer. Many thanks to all of you for your thoughts and prayers.

Well Rob's off to his folks now. It's about a five hour drive. His dad goes in to surgery tomorrow, then will be in ICU for a couple of days, and then still in the hospital for a week or so. Hopefully all will go well and Rob will be home by Monday or so. Ugh – I wish I could have gone with him, but we don't have a short-notice plan for the beasts. Three cats, a 65 pound dog, and two adults… in a Camaro. Yeah, that's not happening. =0

Got a phone call tonight from 's folks. Turns out the docs found a spot on his dad's lung – he's going in for surgery to remove half a lung(!) on Friday. It may be malignant. This is not good.

I'm reading one of the paperbacks we picked up at the Half-Price tent sale the other day. Every few pages I get this (not overpowering but not faint either) whiff of patchouli. Ugh – how can women wear that crap?? It's overwhelming and just smells bad. Bleh.

This conversation actually took place a week or so ago – I keep remembering then forgetting to post it. Me: :::preparing to have an apple with peanut butter, twisting off the stem prior to slicing the apple::: : That better be “R”! Me: :::giggling::: Funny thing is, in my head I was chanting: “A… B… C….” OK, maybe it was funnier at the time. Strange how childhood rituals stick with you.

Death becomes you. Because you are the incarnationof death, also known by the name spoken bytrembling lips… THANATOS! No, you're not allthat bad. It's not like you actually killhumans, you just take the souls that needmeasuring for heaven or hell. But damn, you areSO misunderstood! What Incarnation of Immortality are you?

Spammers flooding the Internet with pornographic solicitations apparently are not abiding by a new federal rule that took effect last week. I'm… shocked.
