Listening to Launch.com at work - You know, as strange a juxtaposition as it is, hearing The Bruces' Philosophers Song right before Coldplay's The Scientist is pretty darn cool.

My Aunt is going in for surgery today - they're amputating her big toe. I guess that it would be a lot scarier for me if I weren't so used to her being sick with one thing or another. She's got just about every disease and malady in the book. Now she's suffering from a bacterial infection in her big toe, and her immune system is so weak from the chemo they use to treat the Rheumatoid arthritis that she can't fight it. Off it comes, then. Like I said earlier, better to lose the toe than the foot, and they'll give her a prosthetic for it, but it's still a little strange. We've come to a point where we deal with everything in humor. I told her that she has to stop with this replacement body part stuff, or else I'll have to call her Darth Roberta. She chuckled and groaned, so I asked if she'd prefer Aunt Vader?

Say prayers, perform rituals, you know that sort of thing - whatever you can do is appreciated.
