Mom picked me up while I was halfway to work and drove me the rest of the way. I guess my grandmother thinks she has cancer of the bladder and/or kidneys. She hasn't been diagnosed yet, but she's had the big C before. Mom says the medicine she's on is making her sick. I would have recommended ganja as an excellent anti-nauseant, but Mom would not have taken that the right way. So instead, I told her live yoghourt may help with the diarrhea. Sigh....

In other news, I want to make a book of leaves. I must remember to collect a bunch this week, while they're still in one piece and in lovely hues. Then I have to write on them, and gel them into place. I still don't know what I'd write on them. It will come to me once I begin. Probably poetry or postcard stories, depending on the size of the leaf. Some of the maple leaves lining the sidewalks are enormous. Maybe I'll collect some on my lunch break. I could write on them between calls.

The powers that be are making their way through various domains, and banning them from our terminals at work. So far, we've been cut off from almost all the game sites and eBay. If they cut me off from LJ and www.tribe.net, I may go insane. These are my lifelines at work.

I wanted to suggest that to my great-grandmother after a surgery left her appetite-less, but I doubted her Southern-Baptist sensibilities would have been receptive to the suggestion.

If I get the opportunity to talk to my grandmother away from the rest of the family, I'll suggest it to her.

Hey, you don't know me but I found your journal through thatnickguy. I'm kinda new to this whole thing, saw your journal and thought I'd say hi. I worked with Nick at Jumbo video and at the Cendant call center....Anyways, I know this is weird but I just wanted to say hello.

LJ banning could happen to you, it happened at my college in Woodstock last year. It seems there was too much blogging going on.

If it does, I don't know how much longer I could work there. It really is what keeps me sane.

Books of leaves is a grand idea. But won't it lose something when they turn all brittle and crackly?

[shanmonster.livejournal.com]

That's why I'd be treating them. It should help keep them from getting too grotty.

You can't go from LJ. Where else am I gonna nick links from?
