Scary

My dad told me today that my grandma had a stroke last weekend. Luckily, she was with my aunt, so she got to the ER right away. She lost some memory and speech ability. But my dad said she's pretty much ok. It's so lucky she wasn't alone or driving. It could have been a lot worse. She lives by herself, so it's scary. I am hoping they can arrange for someone to be with her for a while. I don't know if this makes her more prone to another stroke. I hope not. She has really bad rheumatoid arthritis too. That scared me a few years ago when it started to get bad. I think I am going to go down there this weekend and help with moving stuff around her house or whatever needs to be done. I'm going to take my kitty, who can meet Toby. :D

Ok, I'm dumb

Never mind that last thing. As my coworker gently reminded me, the month is on a separate part of the license plate.

Interesting

Those of you who have a car: Did you notice that the license stickers for this year don't have a month listed on them? I find this interesting. How will cops know when to pull cars over?

god damn

please don't tell me i am sick again...i started having bad stomach aches on monday. it hasn't gone away yet. i hate this. am i never going to get better from anything?

Lost

Spoiler alert.

 

In the past couple of weeks I have watched the entirety of Lost. I agree with recent reviews that say the show has gone downhill in the third season. I really couldn't care less if Ben was ever on the show again. He is a terrible and annoying character. I understand I'm supposed to hate him, but what I don't like most is his acting and the dialog he has. It's just not good. How many times can he do the exact same thing? A lot of the characters are getting tiring. Sawyer is at least showing different sides of himself. But the rest of them? Yawn.

 

The season finale was dumb. I hated the entire thing. It wasn't really a cliffhanger (which, I guess, is fine). And why did they make Charlie die? Let's hope he didn't really die somehow. Ughhhhhhh. I hated it. The whole season was just kind of boring. all I can say is I hope that it gets better.

 

Season 2 was really good. When I was watching that, I was crying practically constantly, and I thought the writing was really good. What happened?

 

Emily: as for the polar bear, I still think it has to do with them just experimenting with having bears on the island (i.e. the bear cages). I guess I don't know why they'd do that or why they got out, though.

The single best thing ever

Y'all know how much I hate people changing lanes without using their signal? Check out this thing I just read. It's a column by W. Bruce Cameron, about what he would do if he was rich. http://www.creators.com/lifestylefeatures/bruce-cameron/when-i-m-rich.html

 

I'll also have General Motors take a break from laying off its entire workforce and build me a special automobile with a hidden compartment in the front. Whenever someone cuts in front of me without using a signal, I'll push a button and the compartment will open and a motorcycle cop will drive out and arrest the person. On the cop's day off, I'll settle for a torpedo.

 

 

Good afternoon

Long time no write. I'm sorry I said that. I haven't been in a writing mood.

 

I went to the doctor today for a physical. It was actually a physical plus pap smear. Wooohooo. That's always the most comfortable thing you can possibly think of. I have a guy doctor. What I thought was interesting and forward thinking of them is that he brought in a girl nurse while doing the ob/gyn stuff. I wonder if that's a law. If anything, it will prevent possible issues. Not with me, I don't care (I feel comfortable because I've seen enough Seinfeld shows or whatever that cover guy ob/gyn doctors[we all know television is accurate, obviously]), but you know. I was just thinking that they make very certain when you call that the doctor is a guy. I wonder what circumstances would cause someone to agree with that but still be uncomfortable. Maybe time constraints. The girl doctors are very booked up.

 

Anyway, it was a good visit. It's always nice to get all that stuff worked out, and at only $20.00 because of insurance. I didn't know it was possible, but I got the HPV vaccine. I thought that was interesting. I hope it doesn't cause issues later in my life. It's very new, but everyone has nothing but good to say about it (except that they don't want to give it to 12-year-olds). I say I didn't think it was possible because I thought you had to be 12. But apparently they go up to 26.

 

He gave me a referral for my eye. I'm kind of scared to go because I don't want them to say I can't fix it. I hate my eye. But right now at least I have hope it can be fixed.

 

I am also supposed to go in for various blood tests. Whew...don't I feel healthy. I wonder if it's nice to be a doctor because you feel all the time that you have everything taken care of.

Awesome

I have a UTI.

Trip

My trip was good. I miss my boy.
