OK, it's been awhile since I've made an entry into my blog, but since I doubt that anyone reads it anyway, it's probably no big loss, eh?

Just on the off-chance someone actually DOES read this, here's what's been shakin' the last few weeks:

-- Lots and lots of school work, which is what I spend my days typing rather than entering in my blog

-- My mother (who has lovingly been dubbed Boudicea by my "big sister" Lisa) had a laproscopic hysterectomy and was in her pharmacology class four days later making an A-level presentation on lupus

-- I've been in and out of my doc's office for the last three weeks trying to determine why I've been having heart palpitations and headaches. Preliminary diagnosis is anxiety attacks with a new spin (the headaches), but just to be sure I'm having to wear a "King of Hearts" monitor for a month (starting today) to ensure my rhythm is OK.

-- I'm trying to catch a cold. I'm just thankful it's not strep.

Yeah, I lead a hell of an exciting life. One positive thing I can say is the Columbian hottie who works the info desk in my building noticed this morning that I was under the weather and seemed genuinely concerned. Hey, it's a small pleasure, but I take 'em as I get 'em.
