I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

I'm sorry, Sean. Now that they have a diagnosis for S, I hope that they'll be able to focus some effective treatments on the problem.

I do not love you, 4 a.m.
You are not cool, you are not zen
I do not want you as a friend
I do not want to see you again.

not your mom's socks.

Sean & S - so much pull-through and recovery~ma.

Smart boards - Ooooh.

Soapbox alert: I looked at the news this morning and saw words like 'historic' and 'electrifying' from even the liberal papers. Historic only in the party sense, right? Or that Palin is the first book-banning, no-you-can't, obfuscating candidate to prey on voters because her own party preaches to the folksy people at the same time they feel those people are too stupid to think for themselves?

Our wings are not tired.

Much ~ma continuing for Sean & S. I know it is very scary and serious. Also, the agitation that you described is not unusual in someone so ill. With both my father and late DH there were times when they were so horribly agitated that loved ones couldn't be in the room with them for more than brief moments. It is unbelievably tough.

Public alert: Just don't listen to NPR this morning. You don't need to hear how awesome and inspiring Palin is. Trust me on this.

We have a couple of smart boards at work. They're great, but they require smart employees to run them. I'm sure teachers would have no problem getting the bells and whistles to work. Sadly, I can't say the same about many of my coworkers. However, they also function effectively as really, really expensive whiteboards. At which point you can hear one of the IT staff sobbing quietly in a corner.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Sean, I'm so sorry you and S are going through this. All my ~ma is funneling straight to Burbank.

Sean, my thoughts and prayers are with you and S - modern medicine is a truly wonderful thing. May the full force of it be with her.

{{Sean and S}} I hope today brings better news and hope.

I had a dream last night that I was at a party at Glamcookie & her DW's house, and I brought Jack McCoy (from Law & Order) with me as a date and he kicked in their new bathroom door. Damn you McCoy!!!!
