it's been a while

i've been avoiding you. i've been obsessing about storygoil's uncle, and my neighbor across the street, and my friend who just started chemo last week, and lance, who seems to be doing not quite so well this year. and to top it off, yesterday i was at kaiser all day with my m-i-l for her colonoscopy. i was miserable, so i can't even imagine how she felt! luckily, i had the foresight to pack a bag (it being kaiser and all) and i got tons of work done. in fact, i ran out of work to do, read bust cover to cover, and started a new book. i blew off tai chi last night, partly because it's so damn hot and the room they have us use is blazing hot anyway, and partly because i'm not as into it as i thought i'd be. it's a little too low-key for me, i think. so i'm toying with the idea of tai kwon do, or karate of some sort. i think that may be more my speed. i have a million things to do today and want to do them all before it hits 100, so i'm out!
