Random: My grandfather started chemo yesterday, and I am finding it really difficult to give a shit about the non-issues people here keep asking me about. (Even more so than usual .) I called him last night, but he was sleeping. And after having a mental breakdown last week when I called him while at work, (it was ugly - I couldn't get myself together again after talking to him, because he was so down), I'm going to have to wait until I get home to try again. Four o'clock cannot get here soon enough.

Confession: I am irrationally annoyed about my brother's wedding right now. I found out over the weekend that his fiancee's brother is standing up for him in the wedding, (despite the fact that neither he nor his fiancee are particularly close to him), and I haven't been asked to even do a reading. He was the best man at our wedding. I realize weddings aren't tit for tat, and I'll totally be over it soon, but right now, it stings a bit.

Flameful(ish): Sometimes, when I read the national boards, I wonder how the hell people make it through daily life. Things like "should I call the vet/doctor/whatever?" irritate the shit out of me. Which is why I rarely post anywhere but here, heh.

Thanks, Rock. I appreciate it.
As for your random #2, I was actually wondering about them earlier, and if they were mostly gone because it was summer, or if they've left us for good.

Hi!
I feel so speshul for my call out on being missed

How is your grandfather doing now?

We're okay, I'm sick this week. I feel like an elephant has taken a shat on my face, then sat on it. I'm on day 3, so I am hopeful tomorrow is the tail end of it.

With that said, the funny part is I haven't had ANY cold or allergy meds since I got KU in March 2010- and with the extended BF thru March of this year, I just never bothered with meds.

I gave in and took one of DH's Claritin D's and am high out of my mind. Like put on some pink floyd and light some candles and sway kind of high.

That is hilarious, punky! Not that you're sick actually, but the claritin thing. I hope you're feeling better soon.
As for my grandfather, he's on day 3 of 12 for chemo, and I guess he had a rough night on Monday. I called over when I got home yesterday, but he had just left for his treatment. (I need to time these calls better.)

I suspect most of it is still the pain from where the cancer is located (in his back, right above his hip). But it's hard to know, because I didn't talk to him directly, and the friend he lives with is fairly dramatic. (And annoying. But that's a rant for another day, heh.)

Punky, good to see you!

5KC, sorry about your grandpa.
