I've done three pages so far - finished chapter two and started chapter three.  I'll do more later, but for now I must shave and shower, then go to the mail place, then read some of the long script, then have a late lunch.

DS Betsy got amnio with both our boys and it turned out to be quite a bit less scary than we thought (of course, that's easy for me to say, eh?).  She even said it didn't hurt all that much, it was more of a pressure feeling than any pain.  Of course we were trepidatious--that's only natural, but it was quick and relatively easy.


The problem with getting an amnio (they say) is that getting one can cause you to miscarry.  I think that is the scary part, not doing it.


the chances of that are very very very very small like 1% and they only warn you about that because they are scared of lawsuits

I have mentioned many times that once I got DSL, I switched to Internet Explorer as my web browser. I keep a window open (but minimized) to AOLMail at all times, and when something comes to my AOL mailbox (which is the only one I use), I'm alerted instantly. I never have a problem.

I did get a new review disc in the mail today, but it looks like another lame comedy: NATIONAL LAMPOON'S STONED AGE. However, since it doesn't come out until the 20th, I continued with my day off and will do it probably tomorrow but maybe even later. Hard to summon up much enthusiasm for recent movies with the "National Lampoon" moniker.

I began my afternoon of viewing with an NCIS episode. In this one, a cryptographer is found dead, an apparent suicide, but Gibbs and the team don't think so and begin investigating. An OK episode but nothing special.

Next I watched A VERY SERIOUS PERSON, the film by Charles Busch made for Showtime. Polly Bergen stars as an elderly grandmother being cared for my a male nurse (Busch). She has a 13-year old grandson living with her, and he's living in his own world of movies and movie stars, writing melodramatic short stories, etc. I suspect Busch based the screenplay on his own growing up years though that's just a guess.

It was an OK TV-movie with some gay characters adding some spice to the story and a very non-judgmental air about the young boy and his possible orientation.

Next, I watched today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. Just as had been expected. Lucinda NOT open-minded when learning her husband was attracted to her grandson. I'm going to miss Laurence Lau's Brian.

I'm hoping my doctor calls me soon.   I've spoken to a nurse at the clinic and she asked me a bunch of questions.

She said she needed to share the information with my doctor and wanted my phone number.  I gave it to her and she asked, "Is this your home number?"  I said, "No, it's my office number.

"You should be at home!" she exclaimed.

And I ended the afternoon watching another TCM-On Demand documentary, this one on Irving Thalberg. I didn't quite finish it, so I'll do that when I go back down.

I knew that.


But...well...you've got to play the game so that folks "see" how much you're ailing before you disappear until you feel better.

I wasn't going to post, but i could use some vibes for my sister.

She is 5 months pregnant and just called crying.  She had had some tests done before xmas and everything looked fine. She was even 1/700 for anything being wrong (1/300 is regular for her age).

But today she went to the doctor and got some conflicting news.  And of course they don't explain things thoroughly enough. But apparently they head is at the high end of what it should be (not sure if it's too big or too small).

And so my sister and her husband have to go back on thursday so a genetics specialist can go over all the results and decide what is what. And to decide if they think an amnio is necessary (they are dangerous).

So my sis is a basketcase. And now i feel terrible. So she could use some vibes for thursday. Thanks.

Well I hope I am still looking weak and pitiful when Vixdad gets home  - despite his continually waringing me I overfilled a kitchen cabinent and broke it -

I have been supervising the Vixter in  tossing out stuff that could be tossed and boxing some other stuff on the kitchen table


He is going to be less than pleased when he sees this new chore I have created for him

don't be suprised if tomoorw you open your browser and are greeted by the story

Read more of the long script, and packaged up some CDs to ship out today.  I've shaved and will shower in a moment.  I did get on the scale today, having not weighed myself since just before Christmas.  I was a little petrified at what I'd see and just hoped the damage wasn't more than a couple of pounds.  Well, there was NO damage and, in fact, I have lost one more pound and am now in my mid-150s - very nice.
