Oh, ita !, I just can't fathom it. WTF is wrong with these people.

And yeah, you need an advocate, damnit.

Me, I've been baking like a fiend: a two-layer carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, three loaves of pumpkin bread, and four holiday fruitcakes in the last 48 hours. In 3 minutes I need to go to the BBQ place and pick up enough ribs and chicken for 10 people, as well.

Oh, wait, and find a gift bag for my sister's present, fah.

Cross your fingers that my mother agrees to take her new meds today. Her new thing is second-guessing the psychiatrist's prescription, I suspect because he's Indian-born although I'm not sure (and won't ask). ::tears hair::

Trust my rage

I need people to talk more!

Sammy won't really let me do anything so I'm aimlessly killing time in the Internet. But I can't really watch or read anything in depth.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

but can your neurologist send your prescription to an oncology infusion center

creative suggestion. I hope this (or something like it) can work for you.

supposedly when I was little I had chicken pox and it only showed up on my stomach and my scalp. mom has always worried that I didn't have enough exposure and that I would get it as an adult. I was around kids who got chicken pox in 6th grade and high school and nada.

so unless I am the most careful person in the world, the light reaction might mean you actually have chicken pox.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Me, I've been baking like a fiend:

  • Heat brimstone-fuelled oven to "Hellfire".
  • Pour devil's food cake into nonstick pan.
  • Sprinkle with desecrated coconut.
  • Bake for 1 hour.
  • AND THEN MY CAKE SHALL RISE!!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I like Ginger's idea a lot, even if it would eat up part of a weekday. Don't know what mountains you'd have to move to make it happen, though.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

So, Beau is a Raiders fan.

To say he is NOT HAPPY is an understatement. I left the house for awhile to run errands, and when I entered, you could tell there was a dark cloud in the house.

dark, dark cloud.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

An infusion clinic is a great idea if it can be arranged.

Taking CJ out line dancing tonight, meeting up with some other friends. Hopefully.

Infusion clinic sounds possible...

We picked up the kittens! But they're big boys--5 months old, not tiny kittens at all. Sniff. But still cute. We named them Lawrence and Texas...Lawrence keeps hiding behind the door, and Texas keeps trying to reach under it to get him. Hah!

For those of you who have had chemo, or with someone who did, what should I stick in a care package for a friend who is having chemo? I was thinking trashy magazines, a very soft blanket, and some ginger chews or tea. Thoughts?

Never underestimate the duration of kittenhood. They'll get places the wee ones never did but then do kitten things in those new places!
