Illinois has an early voting program and I took advantage of it yesterday, post-chemo treatment. That's one less person in line on election day (and one less thing on my mind ( Read more... )

"General Malaise" is actually a side effect of one of my chemo drugs. And the bastard has been tromping his army all over me, which is one of the reasons it's been so long since I posted.

Thanks, slipperieslope, for the lovely Valentine you sent to my home, and for the warm-and-cuddly e-card yesterday. I'm freezing my thangs off, too. Why do we live so far north?
