My alarm went off at 6:30 this morning. I went back to bed. I woke up in a panic at 7:00am on the dot. Turned on the television to make sure the world had not blown up in the middle of the night. The tv happened to be on NBC so I listened as I [...]
Three goods, three bads, I’m sad. Long post ahead. Goods: 1) GM is 100% cancer free. Her mohs surgery went very well and she has 9 stitches on her right forearm that already seem to be healing nicely. We are to leave the bandages on until her followup on Wednesday with the surgical oncologist. In [...]
Writing this super, crazy, no proof-reading fast as it is the first time we have had power in ages. I am sticky, gross, hot and have been sitting in the dark den for hours all alone with my over-active imagination. So today I am apparently 8 weeks you know what. And today I was supposed [...]

Actually I don’t logically think that I am old, but sometimes I hear something and I think, “holy shit! That was 20 years ago.” I know very well that 32 is not geezer level living. However there are at least 2 generations below me and I feel miles away from them. I am totally a [...]

Mother’s day, 2008. Mothereffing Mother’s day. The holiday that will always feel acidic until, well until it doesn’t. And here we are…full swing into it and so far it is just your every day Sunday around these parts. Things accomplished today: fed my cat (2 x’s so far), gave cat a bath (holy fuck! don’t [...]
I am safely arrived at the hot, humid and holiday scented homestead. Yes I am pissed off to be wearing short sleeves after three weeks of LONG sleeves and fuzzy sweaters! But I am home and being home is kind of abrupt. I am not feeling very bloggy today.
