The hospital where I had Jake and Children's here in Philly both have McDonald's right in the building. Which was convenient, but probably not the best choice in a place of, you know, health.
When I visited one of my uncles who was in the hospital for bypass surgery, another uncle (also a heart patient) was there visiting him too. Other Uncle went to get lunch, and came back with a bag from Wendy's. He pulled out a cheeseburger, which made me say "You're visiting your brother who just had bypass surgery, and you go for a cheeseburger?" After he finished the cheeseburger, he reached in the bag...and pulled out a second cheeseburger.
Sadly, Cheeseburger Uncle passed away 3 years ago. Bypass Uncle is still with us.
I'm listening to Bruce Feiler on the radio talking about happy families, and he just said that studies show that people who identify as religious are happier, but come to find out, it's about community -- if you're part of a community and know ten people in that community, that's what makes you happier.
I thought of you people.
Aw, Jesse! I like that theory.

I'm sorry. I am picturing him as Mayor McCheese now, though.
Love that, Jesse!
I had that lovely feeling of community this morning at the market and I didn't even see sarameg (but it was nice knowing she'd been there).
High of 98 today! But only 37 percent humidity, which means it only feels like 101.
88 degrees with 73% humidity. They say it feels like 100, but I haven't gone outside to verify that. There are remnants of the wannabe tropical storm out there so it is likely to be pouring soon.
Ha! As I finished typing the sentence it started to pour.
Not even 10am and it has been a morning. Didn't fall asleep until after midnight (and not due to fun having, just couldn't sleep), woke up at 3am, snoozed until 6:00. Drove CJ to ARP so he can learn to drive the trucks. Hit the grocery store and brought everything home. Went back out to the pharmacy and Petco. Now I'm home and want to try to get a nap in cause...exhausted.
And I can't find my phone. I am sure I dropped it on my bed as I unloaded stuff but now it is hiding. If any of you have my cell number, would you give me a call? I'm hoping the ringer is on. I know it was on yesterday and I didn't go anywhere that I would have turned it off.
Anyway, if you can call, I'd really appreciate it.
You guys are incredibly sweet! I just got the gift certificate in the mail, and the email about the donation to the SPD. SO NICE!!
I just went to the library, so now I feel like it's sticky out, although it's still only 74, both degrees and percent humidity.
I am a little uncomfortable saying this, but I have seen a lot of thank you'd for gifts I would have donated to, but I never knew people were doing it. Is there some sort of list I have fallen off of? Or perhaps it is because I don't post as much? Anyhow, I would love to be included in these things.
Me too, Sophia
And my phone has reappeared. I blame the cats. Actually just Noodle, the brat.
