I've been a little scarce around here lately; I went back to school.  I'm actually very excited about that, but it does take up my time!  Anyway I was more than a little nervous about going back after all these years (I graduated from college in 1994) but it really has been going well.  I'm re-taking several of my science classes because policy is ( Read more... )

my sister just sent me this, clearly the greatest video ever!

Any good suggestions from you cat people (I've always been more of a dog owner; this is my first kitten as a grown up) on keeping Drusilla out of the Christmas tree? She does know she shouldn't mess with it, but she's drawn to the shiny!

I'm still around, honest! I've just been sick a bunch. Bleh!

My heart thing is getting to be No Fun at all. The cardiologist thinks I do have Wolf Parkinson White syndrome. I'm scheduled to have an ablation September 8th. I'm actually looking forward to it! The medicine that keeps the crazy high heart rate mostly in check makes me feel awful. And ( Read more... )
