Apparently Diane Sawyer is about 10 years older than I am. That's apparently too old to understand Facebook.

Asianish

Stir fry.

I have hired a new nurse. I have also spent the rest of my day at the car was place while they are de-childing my car. I kid you not.I have been here since 2:00 and was previously here from 8 am until 10 am.

Who knew my car was that bad? Currently 6 men are cleaning it.

I think I need to take a break from politics. my blood pressure is going to kill me each time I patiently explain something or go and find citations that things are not true when PEOPLE ARE BEING BRAINWASHED BY ASSHOLES.

Apparently Fox News is running with the NAACP/USDA story now with an angle of president shaming (which he deserves), and not even dealing with the fact that before the whole speech came out, they were calling her a rascist too!

Then my boss was telling me that there wasn't rascism because she thinks of Obama as white and she will not apologize to people for being white, because she can't help it. I said that Obama self-identified as black, and since race is a social construct, I think we should probably go with that. Anyway, so I have to go look up cites about DNA, because she did not believe that the races weren't vastly different via DNA. And then she was like-- what about Middle Easterners? Some of them are very dark and some are very light-- so are they Black or White? Arrrgh!

Kat, I've been meaning to share a link with you. A fb friend of mine who I knew when she was in grad school here has a young son on a g-tube with cardiomyopathy, and she and her wife have been blogging about their experiences. They live in northern California. [link] Thought you might find it interesting or helpful. Jaime is super cool, and I only met Laura once but she seems to be as well.

Timelies all!

Argh, some people......(I was trying to find a way to end that phrase that would aptly comment on the political douchebaggery happening, but couldn't.)

J update. She is sitting up in bed. Her husband and FIL shaved her head (I'm assuming the hospital had shaved just part for the surgery. Her sister gave her a foot massage.

Her MIL has been sending out the text updates. When I heard about the shaved head, I texted back "Should I send her my green wig" (J is a Giants girl). MIL texted back "Absolutely-in the spirit of your mama".

So, Kelly and I stopped at Party City and got a couple of cheep cheesy wigs - one green and one yellow. We also got a pretty princess pink boa (J's favorite color is pink). The boa is truly in honor of my mom. With all her hospitalizations she took to decorating her IV pole. Feather boas or plastic ivy (get it...ivy?) were her favorites.

That's lovely, Suzi!

Suzi, that rocks.

YAY Suzi. That's great.
