randy is standing here, breathing down my neck, yelling at me that i haven\u2019t written in four days. he wanted to know how to write on here so he could fill in for me. so now i\u2019m forced to write SOMETHING…<\/p>\n
i\u2019ve been too busy. i\u2019m sorry about that. randy continues to yell in my ear, so it\u2019s hard to concentrate. he says too busy is not a good excuse, i\u2019ve used it way too much. last night i gave two million more chair massages to nurses at the hospital, then i went home and decorated my dad\u2019s birthday cake until midnight. i took a picture of it and i\u2019ll put it up here. at some point.<\/p>\n
it seems like dad\u2019s birthday last year was just…yesterday. weird. of course this means that i\u2019m getting VERY VERY OLD, to be making statements like that. damnitall. and in three more weeks, it\u2019s my damn birthday. old old old.<\/p>\n
but i don\u2019t care. things are really good at this little moment, so i\u2019m happy.<\/p>\n
carefree, too, too footloose and fancy free, not spending enough time sitting around writing.<\/p>\n
i talked to christine tonight because SHE CALLED ME. this is practically unprecendented. that just shows that not only have i been bad about writing, i\u2019ve even been bad about CALLING. jeez.<\/p>\n
so when i wrote about the TIC NIGHTMARE last friday, i didn\u2019t mention the fact that it was so surprising and nice that K\u2019s mom didn\u2019t get all freaked out by the fact that we were potentially bringing MILLIONS OF TICS into her household. but hopefully we didn\u2019t. hopefully we got them all. i haven\u2019t seen any more of them. not only did she not get mad, she GAVE ME CHOCOLATE. very very nice. made my day.<\/p>\n
we drove into chicago on saturday and i noticed lots and lots of huge lilac bushes lining the highway. they were beautiful, and i adore lilacs, especially the smell of them, but i found it very sad that all these lovely lilacs were on the side of the highway because nobody is ever going to stop and smell them. even if you did stop (and you\u2019d probably get into a big accident if you did) you wouldn\u2019t be able to smell them over the smell of the car exhaust.<\/p>\n
sad. very sad. <\/p>\n
please take the time to stop and smell the lilacs. they won\u2019t be around much longer.<\/p>\n
this year, anyway.<\/p>\n
“wicked” was good, for the third time. go see it. smell the lilacs, go see wicked. it\u2019s playing indefinitely (i think) in chicago.<\/p>\n
i have to do lots of massaging tomorrow and then again the millions of chair massages at the hospital tomorrow night and i\u2019m tired just thinking about it, so i\u2019m trying to not think about it at all.<\/p>\n
the weekend…we were going to go camping in southern illinois, but according to weather.com, that\u2019s the only place in illinois where there\u2019s going to be TORRENTIAL RAIN. so instead we\u2019re staying home. doing stuff. maybe just hanging out? hanging out sounds really good.<\/p>\n
that\u2019s enough for now, i\u2019m trying to write during commercials while watching the 10 o\u2019clock sex & the city, and randy keeps yelling at me that i have to make it “fun and interesting.” TOO MUCH PRESSURE.<\/p>\n
i just got the first mosquito bite of the year on my forehead.<\/p>\n
there was something on NPR today about pandemics. it seemed very very troubling. is this something i need to be worried about? becuase there haven\u2019t been any huge things to worry about lately, but if there\u2019s going to be a pandemic, things will be very bad, it appears to me. much worrying. <\/p>\n
enough already.<\/p>\n
ok then,<\/p>\n
may grace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
