uncancered
Teresa (my dad's girlfriend) sent me a text today to let me know that my dad had seen his doctor today and found out the cancer had not spread and so is all gone now! I mention Teresa telling me because about 30 minutes after I got home from work my dad calls me and the first thing he says when I say hello is, "I peed on myself." Oh, thanks dad. He just got the catheter out today and I mean he did just get his prostate removed so it's expected side effects, but sometimes there is stuff you just don't need to hear from your dad. Then he laughed at me and started picking on Teresa until they were both laughing and she's saying, "Stop it! you're going to make yourself pee again!" I'm glad she's there taking care of him. I like their banter. She's still very dificult to hold a conversation with, at least for me, but I know she's taking good care of my dad and they get along well.
My sister and mom are in Japan (!!) for the next week or so. It's Lizzy's graduation present, like mine was to go to Paris with Sara (because my mom couldn't take a trip with me that summer as planned because she got breast cancer (the make-up Paris trip was at her insistence, not mine! I certainly wasn't bitter about her having freaking-cancer!)). Still, I am jealous! Japan, afterall. I told them to bring me back cool socks. Not the white school girl socks, just cool ones. I hear there are neat socks over there.
We have been watching episodes of Star Trek the original series. I never really watched much of TOS and it doesn't seem as dated as I expected. Or as campy. It's good for watching before falling asleep. William Shatner overacts so much though, it's very... William Shatnery.
I have off this monday for MLK day (doesn't everyone then? Federal holiday or something?) and I want to have a pre-inauguration day thing, either sunday or monday, if anyone is interested. I haven't seen anything going on and I am antsy to do something.
