What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

Frown: Been taking care of my dad a bit today. He has come down with a cold and gets very grouchy when he gets sick.

Smile: Playing Sonic 3 and Knuckles, on my Ouya, with a WiiU Pro Controller, on an HDTV with fake scanlines.

The part of me that loves authenticity is crying in a corner.

Sorry to hear that. Hope he feels better.

Yeah, well I haven't had the chance to set up my Ouya yet, so I don't wanna hear it.

I think I'm going to be accepted into the CIFS because I received and email with a form that I needed to sign. The Dean's signature was on it, so he wouldn't sign something if I wasn't going to at least going to be considered... right? It was a form that was needed to complete the admission process so I can start in September, so not really an acceptance letter.

I hate waiting for stuff like this.

Ditto on the congrats Cara! Now go see Monsters University to celebrate.

Vacation is over today, I gotta go back to work tonight.

It's been pretty a productive week at least. Finally got around to putting shelves up in my living room, had some fun going around town, even got a few songs put together.

...I didn't get any gaming at all done though.

Way to go Kit.


Smile: Still mesmerized by the events of last night's Stanley Cup. Haven't been so jubilant in a while. Takes me back to 2010 when my Grandmother and I watched the Hawks win while eating Chicago style deep dish pizza and shared an Old Style or two. She's one of my most favorite persons on Earth.

Frown: Speaking of Grandmother, her tenant had to be moved to assisted care. Alzheimer's strikes again. But that does allow for a new tenant, hopefully someone in law enforcement.

Grandma is with family in Ottawa (Ill.) as last week someone tried to force their way into her house. A man rang her doorbell and said "I'm here to estimate your house repairs". When she said "No thank you", the guy broke the storm door, but luckily my Ninety+ year old Grandmother locked her main door and door to the first floor entrance, and called the police.

Scary stuff.

My family wants her to move in with family, but to her leaving her house would be like losing Grandfather all over again. She feels like he's there with her when she is at home.

Although I agree that she shouldn't live alone, she's a grown ass woman in her nineties and has every right to make her own decisions. And as Happy Gilmore would say, "She's ooooooold". Let her live her life the way she wants. If she falls and breaks a hip, it would be tragic as she would have no one to help her, but she doesn't care. She wants to stay home, and I'll honor that.

I know I know, I get caught up in stuff sometimes and get distracted by the internet

Half-smile: Daughter home after a week in the hospital. Moira was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder called HLH (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemophagoc ... tiocytosis), but that's not before being told it was possibly Leukemia by our local ER doc. So I had a super scary and stressful week, but now that we have a diagnosis by the wonderful people at Children's Hospital and a treatment plan, we're back home. I've had just a rough month or two. It's funny how, Charlotte's eye surgery seemed so scary at the time, but doesn't even compare to this, jeesh.
