Happy Astronomy Day! How that impacts my life, I do not know. Howevwer, tomorrow is No Excuse Day, which for those of you who are, shall we say, good at avoiding things for extremely inventive reasons, tomorrow should strike fear and terror in your hearts. Procrastinator Pete will come 'round and thrash you if you're full of excuses!! And that is how fairy tales are born, boys and girls. So, let's see, where have I been for the last 4 months?!? I underwent another round of radiation in February. Twas an interesting experience. You feel perfectly well, and you go into the hospital (striking fear and terror in the nursing staff of the ward your isolated room is located) - BTW - notice how I am into striking fear and terror in this entry? - and you stay there for a couple of days. Doing absolutely nothing but sleep, read magazines and watch TV. Every once in a while you talk on the phone. And all of this in a sterile environment enhanced (?) by the presence of plastic wrap. EVERYTHING in the room is plastic wrapped - from the telephone to the desk covers to the toilet seat. I felt like the Girl in the Plastic Bubble. No one came near me for 3 days except for the nuclear medicine technician who would bring in his Geiger counter and see if I was still dangerously radioactive. The unfortunate side effect is that while radiation kills the bad rebel force cells (as I like to call them), it does not differentiate between good and evil - heck, it's IODINE for goodness' sake! - and thus it killed good cells as well, mainly playing havoc with my immune system. Ever since then I've experienced a plethora of illnesses, all of which would normally be something annoying, but when you get them one right after another, has become very tiring and sooooo boring! Needless to say, I am almost morbidly curious to see what my body comes up with next to try my mettle. It's a fascinating thing, the human body - what it is capable of, WITH or WITHOUT conscious thought. I leave you with that for today. Oh, and this - did you know that the phrase "Always the bridesmaid, never the bride." actually originated from a Listerine radio commercial from the 1920's? Who knew?!? posted by Subvervia 9:51:00 PM . . .
