Yup, it’s three in the bloody a.m. and I’m awake. Again. The novelty has worn off of this insomnia. As soon as I give up on sleep and leave the bedroom, the kitten is by my side. The other two cats know I’m awake, but could care less. They will take advantage of it come…
The “dick” in “Moby Dick” gets censored by the Dear Diary on the Most Recent Updates List? Sheesh.
You just have to think it was a guy who invented the mammogram. No way would a woman ever devise anything quite so diabolical. I’m getting it into my head that what the Female Nation needs to do as a return favor is license the Scrotogram, and then get the AMA to require all guys…
For those of you not on the metric wavelength, that’s about one and a half gallons. Eight pints in a gallon, a pint’s a pound the world around. That’s how much they pulled out of my abdomen today. Instant weight loss of about twelve pounds. I don’t recommend the diet, but damn it feels good…
First, to answer a few questions. Gourds are related to squash, cucumbers and pumpkins. They aren’t really edible, and their main purpose around these parts is decorative. In Africa I know some of the tribes use gourds as jugs to store and transport water. I also happen to know of a wonderful diarist at DD…

The American Gourd Society, which I didn’t even know existed until I went looking for specific gourd information, has more information than I ever knew to ask anyhow. For those who simply want to cut tot he…
Another day, another doctor’s visit. Gets to be repetitive reading, doesn’t it? Well, at least I got the Pap and exam done. Hopefully I don’t need to think about it for another year now. I then went to the medical center where I’ve gotten all my previous mammograms done, so I could get the films…
I don’t know how many of you wander over to the forum area. It’s a nice place to hang out on lonely days sometimes. Anyhow, during a discussion over there, one diarist at DD complained that the name she wanted was taken by someone who only ever made a couple of entries to their diary…
Yesterday did not turn into anything I expected it to be. My first doctor’s appointment was for 8:15. This one was with Dr. Cancer. And for once it was filled with nothing but unequivocal good news. My bone marrow biopsy is now declared officially “OK”. It is “hyperactive”, but they are now theorizing that this…
Well, I’ve already mentioned my neighbors to the left as I face my door. They moved in over the weekend, and are very nice people. I was mistaken about the father/mother/son relationship though. The teenaged boy was actually the son of a friend and neighbor of theirs who simply volunteered to help them move. Nice…
