The Crud

In the last week, a digestive bug has sweep through our household. 4 vomiters and 2... well, you get the picture. Still, I was interesting to see how everyone handles there illness in different ways. I, much like Delaney, Kendall and Haley sleep it off. There is no illness being unconsciense can't fix I guess. While Becca and Emily trudge along valiantly through thier day. Hopefully, tomorrow will bring a full household recovery.

Monday is my day at the Urologist to have my kidneys gandered at. Tepedino is a good doctor however he has one unnerving quality. When you stand on the little place on the exam table where you rest your feet for your inevitable exam... well, he is barely 5' tall... so he is... well.. at eye level with what he is examining, if you catch my drift... A bit unnerving for me.

It snowed here today. We got a good cover but it mostly melted this afternoon, though they are calling for more snow tomorrow.

Haley had some dental work done this week. I actually paid to have a root canal and a crown put on a baby tooth. She is now an honorary member of the pirate society. They sad the tooth could be pulled but it was holding the place for an adult tooth that wouldn't show up for about another year. Too long to let the cavity progress. Such is life.

I am feeling the urge to finally pursue a creative outlet. As my job at work has taken a turn to a more administrative roll, I have taken less and less enjoyment in doing it. It is a more challenging job than it should be, but the ability to go out and create something is a task that i will increasingly have to delegate. Too bad.

Here is an odd thing. Very few people are actually in the occupation that they dreamed of being in when they were children. Few people are even in the line of work they went to school to be. Lots of us, I feel, just fall into a line of work and stay in it because it pays the bills. If you are good at it, it really starts to pay the bills and before you know it, you make to much to quit. Stuck in a career you never intended to have, though thankful for the bounty it provides. Nice little Catch-22.

Anyway, this should be enough to satisfy my sisters daily dose. Until next time...

Why do Rhinoceruses have so many rinkles? (I am aware that my spelling sucks. It is late, I am tired, and my computer doesn't like pop-ups so spell checker is a bitch.)

Oh, great quote I saw in the quacks office....

The use of the exclamation point should be banned. Using one is like laughing at your own joke.

F. Scott Fitzgerald......

Or one Kel will understand.... Denny Crane

One more question... have you noticed the Derrick and Addison Shepard seem to be played by two people. Sometimes they are georgeous and sometimes they leave you scrambling for the remote to fast-forward. Like Dr. Jekyl and Dr. Hyde. Last weeks shower scene was nice though.

ok... enough is enough.

Your sister has now addicted me to Gray's Anatomy. We watched it last night, and it was wrenching. Pink mist. So awful. I could have lived without seeing a human blown to bits, even if it was only special effects. And I didn't even know that character's name but I cried for him- and for the other guy from the bomb squad who was vaporized as well.
