10. i did dishes today. they so desperately needed to be done. now i have things to cook with and eat off of again, which is always a good thing.
9. so i just got off the phone with my mom, who is supposed to have surgery next week. her pre-surgery check-up did not go so well. her ekg was weird so she has to get a stress-test on monday. also her red blood cells were too large and there were too many of them. now, this -could- be a sign of leukemia, but usually leukemia affects white blood cells. so, maybe it's just my mom's body being weird. we shall see, i suppose.
8. my family is so weird. mental-health wise, they're just not all there. sometimes i wonder how i turned out as mentally-healthy as i am. it makes me feel lucky.
7. i got 3 comics today. ex-machina and 2 issues of y the last man (i'm behind.) i haven't read them yet but i'm excited to do so after i do this update.
6. east coast camping is next weekend! everyone keep your fingers crossed that everything is fine with my mom. if it's not, i'll be going home that weekend instead of camping. of course, i hope my mom's better for many many reasons. but, i will be extra unhappy if i can't go camping for any reason, let alone this one.
5. grrrrr. i feel like this update is entirely about my mom. it's weird. she always has had weird health problems, and usually when she has symptoms of something that could be really wrong it turns out to just be nothing. that doesn't make me worry about her any less, though.
4. hmmm. 10 oclock on a thursday night. kinda wish there were people around right now.
3. i think i'm going to go to webmd and look up excess large red blood cells.
2. seriously sorry about the downer-notion of this entry. i realize that some people won't talk about things that are personal in journals, but this is me, this is my life, and i'm not going to hide it or censor it for anybody.
1. i hope you're all doing well.

my family is really bad with the obscure illness thing too. we have quite a nice history of strange health issues. maybe we can share stories at camping. since you WILL be there
