Good evening all! It's five o'clock here, so I thought I would do the blog. What better time than now? Junior is out for a walk with Gunner and Gladdale tonight and I'm staying home because I'm still sick. Being sick really sucks because : A) I'm sick, B) I can't go out with them, and C) I haven't been to work in two days. Tomorrow I'm going in no matter what (I'll be just fine in the morning) because Tawès (the girl that I'm working with) has been taking care of the kids all by herself with me not there. I feel so bad! Unfortunately, I can't really do anything about it because I can't go in sick.

To the title! Britt is being ever-so-kind and letting me use her computer to do the blog tonight. To be honest, I'm in the bathroom downstairs, with her computer set up on the washing machine. No worries though! She know about it, and the washing machine isn't on. The insides of the computer won't get all rattled about on the inside . . . That's not about the title, is it? Anywho! Britt is really into manga and anime. Two of her favourites are Bleach and Naruto. Every now and then, when she checks for updates, she will come to me with a grand story of what happened in the manga. Naturally, because I don't read them, I have no idea what she's talking about so I just nod and smile and put in the appropriate "Ooohs" and "Aaaahs" and "OHMYGOSHWHYDIDTHEYDOTHATs". Tonight, she told me about Ichigo in Bleach. She was explaining to me something about his powers and then said *the title*. When she said it I had no choice but to look dumbfounded and laugh. I don't even know what she meant! And that's the story behind the title.

Oher than that, nothing really happened today. Like I said, I'm sick. In the past two days I have watched about 15 hours of television. That's more than I've watched in the past six months. I've watched everything from CBC to the Comedy Network to the Family Channel, and I have determined the following: THERE IS NOTHING GOOD ON DURING THE DAY. Personally I think the government is controlling the televsion stations and is preventing them from putting on decent programming in the times that kids are supposed to be in school or at work. What will kids do if they skip off work or something and there's nothing good on tv? They might have to go outside! GASP! And then what will happen? Because it's summertime, they'll get a sun burn because they were too busy complaining about the lack of decent shows on tv to put on sun screen! Then they'll find out that they have a funny-shaped mole on the back of their arm that is actually melanoma that was caused by the sun and ultraviolet radiation! Then they'll have to go to the hospital and have the mole removed, just to find out too late that the cancer has spread to their UVULA.

. . . I'm sorry, I've been cooped up for two days. I've had too much time to think about nothing.

While I'm on the topic, cancer is not a thing to laugh about. People get diagnosed with it all the time and many of them die. To those diagnosed and to the others affected by the diagnosis, it's absolutely terrible. To be honest, there's nothing to laugh about. I'm not an expert or anything and I'm sure I'm probably wrong about stuff, so don't quote me on anything. I've had a few people in my family die of cancer and one of my relatives is currently fighting it off. My cousin is the most positive person that I've ever met, hands down. She's absolutely amazing. She's stayed positive throughout the entire ordeal and I do believe she's on the mend. Much love and happy thoughts to her! (And I think I'll leave Junior the more serious subjects. . . I'm not very good at it).

Oh my! This font makes it look like I've written more than I actually have.  : S

One last note before I go upstairs to supper, I suppose. Today, Junior was a sweetheart and came down to keep me company. We played Scrabble at the kitchen table. He beat me, 240 to 198. Why, you ask? Because I got him 40 points on one turn. Yeah. I'm nice like that. I'm going to beat him next time. (You watch yourself, Junior). After playing Scrabble, we sat on the couch for a few minutes before he had to go look at something for his Mom. While sitting, I complained to him about how much my stomach hurt because of my coughing. I feel like I've been doing crunches/sit-ups for 36 hours straight!

And that's my story. I can't wait to post a blog when I have my wits about me! My brain feels like a lovely jiggly bowl of Jello at the moment. Have a happy evening!
