Life and a meme
So Grandma heads into surgery tomorrow for her bypass operation. The doctor is going to take a vein out of one leg and put it in the other. All this is being done in an attempt to get adequate blood flow and more white blood cells to the two spots on her leg that are now affected by gangrene. She'll be in for at least five days, so I may or may not be around much this week. At the same time, her overall health isn't that great and, sad/ mean as it sounds, the family is kinda gearing up for the worst case scenario of her just not making it through the surgery and subsequent recovery.
So I'm going to apologize right now if it seems like I've been ignoring my dear friends recently. Mentally, the family has been preparing itself for the worst while hoping for the best outcome to this whole thing. Work has also been extremely hectic and I'm lucky if all I get to do when I come home is eat and fall right into bed. So yeah, I've probably been a sucktastic friend and this is really no excuse, just an explanation. That said...
Onto the meme I nicked from tru_faith_lost
I'm going to tell you something about myself that I think is peculiar and gives you more of an idea of what kind of person I am or think I am. If you've ever done one of these things, then reply in the comments and post this in your journal along with something or things that you find interesting about yourself. (Preferably something about you and not a fandom opinion.)
- if I'm company at a house needing to use the rest room and the homeowner is a male, I'll leave the seat up when I'm done because that what he's used to since it's his home and not mine.
- I'll leave a spider or insect in my apartment alone if it's content to crawl around on my ceiling, but the minute it tries to come down into my space, that's it...bug/ spider is done for.
- if I get a burger at a fast food joint or other restaurant and it shows up with pickles on it, I will take them off because I HATE warm pickles. I'm perfectly content to eat them cold and I prefer dill or garlic pickles to bread and butter pickles.
- nine times out of ten, I'll eat chicken tenders, chicken nuggets or french fries with a mixture of ketchup and mayonaise instead of BBQ sauce or ketchup.
- I refuse to eat eggs (scrambled, fried, what have you) if they've come in contact with maple syrup on my plate.
