My MIL, who was originally diagnosed with treatable lung cancer, has now been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer that has spread into her scapular area and her brain. She has 2-6 months. Not sure what kind of vibes or ~ma to ask for ... maybe non-suffering~ma or coping~ma for FIL and DH?
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.
Like the groundhog who saw his shadow, and hid himself away for six more weeks of winter, I took my boot drive out of my newly built PC and, not wanting to deal with configuration issues just yet, put it back in my old one.
My 95 year old uncle wants to come home from the residential care facility where he's recovering from hip replacement surgery. He says he's confident and his bones are strong. He's wrong on both counts. He scares the staff when he moves around unassisted and unsteady on his feet, and he has pervasive arthritis, which contributed to his broken hip.
I can't blame him for wanting to come home, but he really has no idea what a bad idea it is at this point.

I am back from the Colorado River in all its windy, trying-to-kill-me glory. There is no way I'm going to really catch up, but please email me if I missed important news I need to know.

Hey, I've gotten a job offer, but they need to get back to me with title and salary info. So, I'm asking for bigassraisema and cooltitlema. I suspect that I will only get one or the other.

In Dallas! Hot, a little muggy, and so freaking flat.
If you're in town and around, ask Steph for my number. :)

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Mom just called. My dad was riding down the Angeles Crest Hwy. with my brother and his tire started going flat. He skidded out and the bike rolled over him. Result? Fibula broken in two places and a fractured ankle. They have him scheduled for surgery tomorrow. My dad's more athletic than I am (I'm ashamed to say) so he's in pretty good shape for 64, but he's one of those stubborn guy types who doesn't listen to all his doctor's instructions. Sheez, he only got over pneumonia a couple weeks ago (which he got after being stoic for weeks about a cold that wouldn't go away). Anyway, I'd appreciate some health~ma and good sense~ma if you could send it his way.
Goldurn it. He was going to come up here to see my gig, too.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I love the instant gratification of the digital camera. Thanks again, Nicole! This is the picture of the nephews that I took tonight.
These are the pictures from the new apartment.
