Pics or it didn't happen
I've started using Imgur to host my photos (and a few drawings) and am so far pleased with it. Now that I no longer have a paid account I can't upload many photos to LJ, and Photobucket shrinks stuff down which is kind of a pain in the butt. If Imgur shrinks pics it isn't particularly noticeable (although maybe that's because I don't upload ( Read more... ) -
Toy show
Had an unusually busy weekend! Later I'll talk about Saturday and maybe post pics if they are halfway interesting (I did take some nice videos). But on Sunday we went to a toy show in Burlington, and it was pretty good. I was actually afraid I wouldn't be able to see everything before closing.

Whole lot of dads
I was petting my cat Abby a few hours ago when I noticed the backporch light had turned on, so I went to peek at who was out there....and saw Daddy Feral! (her father) There was no food in the dish, so he left, and as soon as he was gone I went out to refill it. He immediately came back to eat, and I got a bit of video of him :) (It's not very ( Read more... ) -
Arrr, I don't know what I'm doin'.
So on Tuesday I'd felt depressed and opted not to go on Tumblr -- not particularly unusual. By Wednesday evening I felt a little better, though had been anxious all day. But that night I was struck by the worst anxiety about going onto the site for some unknown reason; not hyperventilating, but my heart was racing and I felt really scared and my ( Read more... ) -
Snow
Feeling down and making dolls. But have some snow photos from last night and this morning.
This snow was a bitch to shovel because it's so wet and heavy, and not 30 seconds after finishing the driveway the motherloving plow came by and dumped a small mountain of wet snow into it.

Stuffs
Haven't heard how my aunt's been doing for a few days, but last I heard she was progressing well. My dad is doing well ( Read more... ) -
Sheesh
Dad's still the same, but apparently my aunt had a heart attack today. I'm so done with this month. -
Moar updates
My dad's home from the hospital now (still has the shunt and drain in his head), and was impatient with me when I inadvertently called during the Superbowl halftime show. So he seems to be getting back to normal :> He'd asked my mother to take a photo of his head while he was in hospital and she told me she hoped it wouldn't go up on Facebook, so ( Read more... ) -
Another update
So the news is good (fingers still crossed) -- my dad had the less-invasive surgery today and it seems to have gone well. He did need to have two holes drilled in his head, though. I haven't talked to him, but my mother seems optimistic. I guess I'm enough of a pessimist to figure things aren't over just yet, especially because we still don't ( Read more... ) -
Update on my dad
So my mother talked to his GP this morning, and told her about his cognitive symptoms -- apparently he was either downplaying them or simply forgot to mention them. She agreed that it sounded very alarming, so he was immediately sent off for an MRI and CAT scan. The tests revealed he has bleeding on the brain, so he's having surgery tomorrow to ( Read more... )
