We just found out that my uncle has prostate cancer, which is what both his father and my grandfather died of. The doctors think that because he is pretty young and they caught it pretty early he should be fine, but I know he is really nervous about it anyway. I would really like to solicit prayers and good-wishes for him, since he is basically the ( Read more... )

So I'm sure everyone is desperately interested in hearing the continuation of the Saga of the Insurance Company from Hell (yes, you are ( Read more... )

I really miss my school friends right now. It has to do at least partly with this unholy terror I have that if I'm away from people for too long they'll just forget about me, or they won't want me any more--it's not really logical, it's just one of my biggest anxieties, and it's completely paralysing. Maria's friends are all visiting her over the ( Read more... )

The good: we got the bees in just right. We picked them up in their nuke box from Andy, drove them home, waited until dusk, and then put them into their new hive. They seem to have settled right in, and we're going to check them to-morrow to see how they're doing, as far as the queen and such ( Read more... )

The internet is lagging like a bitch; my bicycle has been vandalised again (again!); it is still hell of cold; I have a paper to write by Tuesday that any other time I'd be thrilled about but which is totally uninspiring right now; I have volunteer work to do to-night that is going to require walking back to campus at 10:00 in the dark and the cold ( Read more... )

To-day, at five a.m., I made a very important discovery, a discovery so important that I need to use profanity to discuss it: do not fuck with capsaican, because it will fuck your shit up. I, through a series of events so humiliatingly stupid and mundane that I cannot recount them, managed to massage 15% capsaican solution into the palm of my right ( Read more... )

To-day is a bit of a mish-mosh of things.

I spent altogether too long doing things while listening to Istanbul (not Constantinople) because it drives Sagramore crazy. This is too fun a discovery. It makes Sagramore absolutely nuts, and it has been stuck in my head all day ( Read more... )

Well, that's it. I'm dead. The entire world has flooded. XD ( Read more... )

Has been a v. Mordred day, which fact I resent incredibly. I hate being Mordred (for one thing, everything tends to go wrong).

My nose is v. cold and I put my hand down on the coffee burner, but I did find out that Rachel lives about fifteen minutes away from us and her mother delivers our mail. We discussed carpooling to work. This is excellent

Well--Calico had two seizures to-day, one at ten a.m. and one at eight p.m. Daddy's going to take her to the vet to-morrow (I can't), and I called the Aunt to see if she had any advice, but she said it could be anything from epilepsy (since Cali is an outdoor cat, we can't say for sure how long she's had seizures, really) to feline leukemia, so the ( Read more... )
