Yikes, meara - I'm glad there was nothing to it but how scary!!
The only nuns I have had encounters with are our local convent who are Dominican Sisters. They've been on Oprah! They are a teaching order and so the sisters go to EMU and they student teach a lot in my school. There are currently two sisters in my Drama class and one of them is super quiet, but funny and the other is HIGH-LARIOUS. She's in her 30's but only decided on her vocation about 4 years ago. She's from The Bronx and she is outspoken and boisterous and just awesome. I totally want to be their friends outside of class.
So imagine my pleasure when I popped it in and there's a short flourish of music and I hear, "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams. As read by Martin Freeman."
Oooh, nice, I wonder if he does all of them! That would make a fun audiobook series to do.
My stepfather's Aunt Elaine is a nun. Who taught grammar for about forty years. Interpersonally, she was as fun as that sounds, but I understand she did do some interesting Marian research and stuff that would be cool to talk about.
Unspecified~ma going your way, lisa.
I have an appointment this afternoon with my hemotologist. He just called and said I could come in earlier and he would make sure I got some iron today. I knew my numbers were low, but I'm guessing they are scary low. I'm trying to finish up some work before I head out.
I guess the point of sharing is that despite all the crazyness of the health care system, I have a doc going out of his way to help me. Tis appreciated.
That is good to hear, Suzi. I hope the iron helps!
In random news, I get emails from OK Cupid when I have a message on there, but they don't include the full message. The one I just got opens:
Hi, I'm a married Boston lawyer, early 60's. Are you open to being the friend and lover of an older...
Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and say no.
Sometimes they make it easy, don't they?
~ma to you, lisah. And iron~ma to you, Suzi. I'm glad you have a doctor who looks out for you.
Hey all. I'm still pregnant, in case you were wondering.
Hi, I'm a married Boston lawyer, early 60's. Are you open to being the friend and lover of an older...
But what if it continues as: ...man's single, hot, and highly successful son ?
