What significant things have I done today?

[Griffin NoName]

It's not Epi - they won't give me that until after the next time. You know like it gets worse each time.... well so far I've only got to the stage of my leg blowing up like an elephant trunk and being unable to walk, sleep, etc for a fortnight..... so they are saving on the Epi til it progresses to the full shock stage. The doctor sounded perfectly sane when he worked up this plan, but I don't really understand the logic. Mostly wasps hover round my mouth (why? they ignore all the other people around) and if I got stung there and blew up like my leg did I wouldn't stand a chance so I keep the tablets (steroids and extra dose anit-hystamines) in my hand whenever I see wasps or bees. And run.

I go for size and colour and texture differentiation on the inner bags. The one with the anti-sting pills is a tiny (2cm square) exquisite japanese silk one with a fast popper opening which I bought for next to nothing on the top of Mont Blanc. (I was quite shocked to find they have tourist shops on tops of mountains. )  It also has diazepam in it in case I meet with people who b ehave like wasps or bees.

I have been to Stockholm's Botanical Garden with my SO his, mother and her UK guests. I also took a huge amount of pictures.  I will put some (the best) up on my Flickr site when I get a new camera to computer USB cord, the original one has mysteriously disappeared.

Installed the new radio in my wife's car (the subaru). The factory radio didn't have aux input nor played burned discs with mp3s. The new one not only plays CDs but burned DVDs with mp3s and  even has an output for a monitor (to play movies).

First time I install one of those and I am now victorious. :yay:

The law frowns on matricide, but most people would consider it justifiable homicide...

[Scriblerus the Philosophe]

Indeed.

Resisted patricide this afternoon.
I don't like my father very much for a variety of reasons, and I tolerated him for a couple of hours. I did. Had lunch with him, tolerated his annoying questions about my sister, tolerated the cigarette smoke wafting off him. Tolerated his annoying political and social ramblings. Went home.
Normally, I wouldn't have gone, but he just had surgery and I felt like I ought to be a dutiful daughter and go see the old man.

[Opsa]

There's a hug for you, Scrib. You did the right thing.

Fielded questions from panicky people about a senior class dinner we're supposed to do music for on Thursday. Emailed the guy who's actually in charge asking whether he wanted to organize a rehearsal, knowing full well he doesn't, but hoping that the panicky students who want to practice would be enough to motivate him. Sent the drummer a list of songs, received reply "Okay. Thank you." Appreciated competence.
