Well, another holiday weekend has come and gone. Too much food and too much heat (July has hit full force in Kansas) -- needless to say, it was a blast, no pun intended. I tried to spend some time with my uncle who is beginning his chemotherapy treatments today for colon cancer. He will receive chemo once a week for a full calendar year, plus six weeks of radiation five days a week beginning in September or October. Mom made the comment that he just didn't seem like himself this weekend, but go figure.

In other news, I have my copy of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix but haven't started it yet. I need to finish The Goblet of Fire first, which should only take me another day or two, provided people leave me the heck alone and let me read.
