Went to the doctor yesterday and it seems the new pills are working well now. Yay! Side effects were no fun, but for the most part they're gone now. Yay to that too! I've been having chest pains, but it turns out they're not related; it's my lungs instead. Inflammation of the pleura. So I did get Dad's flu thing, but not in the same way he did. I just have to wait it out. Anyway, I'm glad I'm almost semi-normal.

After the doctor visit, Dad and I went to see The Prestige. Good movie. Impressive cast. Good performances all around.

Yes, I ended up hanging out with my Dad yesterday. As Dad outings go it was pretty decent. Mom is in Atlanta for a couple more weeks with Aunt Kitsy, so Dad and I are doing what Mom and I would usually be doing. Oh yeah. I didn't post about that... Kitsy has cervical cancer. She's been ill enough that she couldn't really take care of herself so Mom went to take care of her. Mom will be back Nov. 5. Hopefully Aunt Kitsy will be ok enough by then (meaning she won't need chemo) and it'll be ok for her to be on her own again. Fingers crossed.

What have I been up to... I've drawn more sort-of patterns for appliques which I have yet to cut out and sew. I baked pumpkin bread a couple days ago. It's so sweet it's more like cake really. So yummy. Adrian even bought whipped cream to put on it. Unfortunately it's still so humid in the house, and the pumpkin makes it so moist, that the bread is all soggy unless it's toasted. I keep expecting to find it moldy already. Adrian and I (mostly I) have been eating so much of it that there's only 1/4 left. Way back on Sept. 28, I baked a Lemon cake to celebrate Colin's Birthday. Just because he's not here doesn't mean I shouldn't celebrate. Besides, it was an excuse for eating cake. I would not be me if I passed that up. I'm considering the same thing for Mom's Birthday on Wednesday. I wonder if she and Kitsy will do something or if they'll forget? I'll have to call and remind them.

Other than baking and not- sewing, I've been either playing video games, puttering around online, or (horror of horrors) watching TV. Thank goodness for MASH and Star Trek: TNG reruns, downloaded Poirot, and Project Runway. And I'm in love with Ugly Betty... which means it will be canceled any day now.

While I was flipping channels at some ridiculous hour the other day, I came across this music video. I immediately searched youtube so I could share the craziness with Colin. I've had that tab open ever since. Damn catchy song!

I've had a bunch of other tabs open for a few days too. ( Just stuff I thought was interesting. )

Ok. I should go do something.
