Diane: Onjel: Sorry I bailed just when I was needed. I'm a bad, bad Technopagan. Also, I had experiments to do.... And also - I'm going to start freelance editing for the company I interviewed for back in June. They're offering me $50 an hour, and I figure I can work 5-10 hours a week doing that. It gets my foot in the door, as well as experience added to my CV. Oh, and it covers childcare expenses. I was also invited to come give a talk at a meeting in Singapore, at another in Washington, D.C., and to a biotechnology seminar class here in San Francisco. Big day. How cool is your news? That's wonderful stuff! I like the editing for the extra experience and cash but I'm thinking giving a talk in Singapore is the icing on the cake. ;D Not to worry about the new part. Work comes first and I was asking in case you had something special planned to use. It's all good. ;D Yeah. Big day. Need a brain to eat. Of course, I just sliced my finger open making dinner, so it all evens out.

Mom says Dad is going to have to start chemotherapy now. There were a lot of cancerous...things...in what they removed yesterday, although they're not sure yet whether it's metastasized to his lymph system. He also has some other sub-issues she didn't talk about (other than the fluid on the lungs) from the surgery. But at least he's out of ICU now and breathing on his own.
So, as she said, it's likely going to get rather ugly from here. But I think I got her to understand, though, that I would like to come up to see them, just because I'd like to come see them, and she seemed pleased with the idea. Even if they have no ostensible usefulness for me to engage in right now. Just company, no pink teddy bears. Their good friends Chris and Darcy are there for them for the helpful things, for which I am and always will be grateful. Especially from this logistical distance.
Hugs to everybody for their well wishes, and hugs back to those as need them.
G'night.

Ack, ick, blech ptui!!!
Ugh, even.
We went to what used to be our regular Mexican place and everything was uniformly dreadful: obvious storage flavors in the vegetables, and the oil in the fryer was past needing changed: dirty, which is bad enough, but also burned.
Julia, very few things are nastier than oil that's been pushed way past its smoke point.

Excellent opener, Onjel! I love that ep of Angel. **happy sigh** The ending when Angel is all "and yet somehow, I just can't seem to care" and shuts the door. **happy shivers** Me too. Thank you, ma'am. ;D
