Divritriculus

So yeah . . .

I'm a little scared for Jim. I don't WANT to think about the "what if," but I can't help it. . . so, I'm puttering around and practicing deep breathing. . . I may go in search of drugs here shortly. . . <not really>

Jim says his diagnosis might technically be "diverticulitis," but he's calling it "angry asshole," which is better all the way around. Especially since he pronounces diverticulitis "divritriculus."

On a different note = you have TOTALLY got to check out the "google" header for today. It's a mind bender! THAT'S the job I want. . . changing the google. 

I'm gonna go. I've got bacon on and with my new SUPER HOT stove, there's a good chance I'll catch the kitchen on fire.

A Fellow Named Jack

                         A nice kitty I met on a refreshing weekend walk. 
                         I nearly took him home.  I call him Jack.

There is no other feeling like the feeling that you are being true to yourself,

like riding the wave, satisfying the craving, finding balance on one foot, being weightless.

           Just keep on working, madly and furiously.

The baby's room is so cute, so frickin' precious, so stupid perfect with the little waves and green closet and so many baby shower gifts.  So.  Many.  Gifts.  Like, let's get a bigger house 'cause we have so much stuff, or let's get this friggin' nursery painted so we can actually walk through our kitchen.  You think you won't need the number of diapers you have but you will, oh you will!  And it seems like such a big deal now but once Jack is here all the crap will wash away and you'll discover what matters.

                                 Brother:  So don't stop thinking.
