Very small drive by to say I'm back. Home is a beautiful place.
Stop means no. And no means no. So . . . stop.

If I only had a brain...
My MRI came back. Completely normal. (Apparently they can't detect gay vampire snuff porn with current equipment.)

Queen of the Drive-By
I realize that you are all likely as tired of hearing me whine as I am of doing the whining, but I wanted to let you know how yesterday's appointment went. The new doctor has a very take charge kind of attitude, and I have high hopes that she will get to the bottom of this. I had a CBC yesterday, and I have an ultrasound on Thursday and a colonoscopy on Friday. Hopefully SOMETHING will give her the clue she needs to diagnose this and make it go away. We discussed a number of possible ailments, ranging from BIG SCARIES to silly little nothings. I'm sticking with the silly little nothings.
In the meantime, I have been feeling awful. I have no energy, I'm feverish off and on, and after a particularly clumsy encounter with my cat yesterday, in which I nearly broke BOTH of our necks, I am in even more pain than I have been. My spirits are lower than low, as I am just SO FRUSTRATED. This probably isn't even anything big, but it has kept me sick for five weeks now, and I want my life back. Somebody fix it? Please?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
My papa had a stroke. Collective prayers are appreciated. Don't know how he is, the message was on my voicemail when i got home, and everyone is asleep, now, and i don't know what hospital he is in.

I spoke to my dad this morning, and he said Papa will be okay, that he can move, and they took out that tube (intabate tube? i don't know. I don't watch er). He had the stroke during chanukah dinner on Sunday. No one called because no one wanted me to worry. (!)
He's in ICU. Don't know when he's going to get released. QPB lent me his cell phone this morning so I could call Boston from work and get an update, but the nurses were busy and they said to call back later. My dad is being really vague.

Reporting that 4-month old niece Erin went home from the hospital Tuesday and is eating and excreting normally, so seems in fine shape. My SIL, after spending the night in children's hospital, has much more perspective on how lucky she is that it's only a kidney removed, and nothing half a tragic as most of the families there.
Off to catch up in Natter - ice storm, no power since Weds. PM, boringest snow day in history, at husband's work hoping cat does not freeze to death.

My first book review is up on the All About Romance website. There's a grammatical error in the first paragraph I need to get them to correct, but I'm still excited--it's quite the rush to have something official up being read!
