Aberrant Physiology FTW

I apparently have developed a weird mutant immunity to poison ivy.

12yo daughter has not. Yet.

Random Reading

Today's random website find:

Texts from last night

I either didn't misspend my youth enough, or I am damn lucky we didn't have texting cell phones when I was out partying.

Haven't decided which yet.

Wintergirls

Yesterday I read "wintergirls" by Laurie Halse Anderson.

I wish I didn't.

I'm glad I did.

New Personal Blog

I set up a new blog at InsaneJournal (as Blogger doesn't have the ability to filter posts) because there are some rants that just aren't suitable for public consumption.

Back from the deadish

I am fighting my way back to the land of the living, or at least what passes for it nowadays. There's probably a lot of things I should catch up on for y'all, but that's not gonna happen this post. (And I'm discovering all these cute 'improvements' as I reanimate ... sigh.)

Briefly ...

The last two weeks have pretty much been a tour of the third level of Hell. I've barely been online, and as I am a rather private person by nature I'm not likely to post much about it.

I will, however, share the fact that my dad is home from the hospital now and doing much better (on his couch, watching his soccer, without random medical people poking him every half hour). I plan to see him today but have to call first - as he said, he has a 5k run today, and then is helping this guy move furniture. (I wonder where I get my smartass sense of humor from ...)

The Dad Update

Just got word that my dad is recovering well and will be moved out of the ICU today. They will also be giving him a nicotine patch so he will stop being so mean to the nurses. :)
