My mom has acquired MRSA. Sad

She is being put on medicine that's $3000 a bottle and if that doesn't work (if her blood tests come back with bad news) she'll have to be readmitted to the hospital.

The internet is scaring me. 1 in 3 patient morbidity?

I woke up with a sore throat.

I then went shopping for shoes (because I need them), which I hate doing.

Now I have a full-out cold, I have to work tonight (right now even) and tomorrow, I still don't have replacement shoes and I am so sick of people I'm inclined to get a gun and climb the clock tower.

oh, and a semi-attractive woman was just in here asking about Buffy Season 8, which we're not carrying, which would mean she's interested in Buffy and be something I'd have in common and I didn't have the presence to think about that until after she'd left.

That sucks Fris, hope it all works out. My horror, one of my close mates has found out his partner has Huntington's disease. All I know is it is a degenerative mental disease that can effect motor skills too in latter stages.

Huntington's is a harsh disease. An ex-girlfriend had that running in her family. I wish I could give some glimmer of hope, but all I can say is that I know there are some recent developments that have given a new understanding of what happens with Huntington's and related diseases, and it may give some new avenues for therapies.

i hit a cat in my car on the way to a show last night. there was nothing i could've done, it just ran in front of me.

when i pulled over it had made it off the road so i don't know what happened to it. but it's probably dead. i got super drunk but it didn't help much. and i called a bunch of people but mostly got voicemails so i cried and drank myself to sleep.

i'm going vegan again.

Wait - you're going vegan again because you accidentally hit a feral cat?

it wasn't a feral cat, i don't think.

but sort of. it was more that it brought vividly home to me the reality of being responsible for an animal's death, which i had managed to re-detach myself from.

I think it was just a case of natural selecetion lily. Running in front of cars = not smart.
