There are people I'm just ignoring. Not Mom, of course. But some threads and some people aren't worth pissing myself off. We'll all just have to make a better effort for Mom than our best.

Let's give 110%!

Of course, logically and mathematically you can't.

I went for a pre-op exam today. EKG, blood work, even a MERSA swap up my nose. Took better than 2 hours. Probably would have taken less if they'd told me to stop doing something like breathing deeply after they'd finished, but it wouldn't have been as much fun. Of course, after they'd drawn two tubes of blood the results of the five tubes of blood the VA had drawn on Monday showed up in the mail. Anyway, I'm down about 70 ml. of blood and I'm walking with a list to starboard because there's less blood on the port side and I'm unbalanced.
