One weekend, all gone -

Turned the computers on sometime Friday night - turned them off again, sometime last night before we went out to dinner.

Never touched them.

Had caitlin over Saturday AM, did shoppage and then nappage.

I did one bad thing. I bought Harvest Moon for the GameCube and promptly lost all of Sunday.

See, I really suck at shooter games - constructive, goal-oriented RPs? Don't even need the guide. I boner the first attempt, but after that, I'm golden.

The biggest problem is that they are extremely time consuming to play. An hour flies past, then another.

Yesterday, food was a can of pasta and a few cookies, plus the few cups of tea - until dinner.

Just...one...more...day....

Add that to the AC:WW work on the DS? Yeah, you get the picture.

Have to find coverage for animal care this weekend - we're going to Berea, KY for five days. I won't be booked solid, so anyone who wants me for a Steak n Shake or Cracker Barrel run, can have me.

However, we also got word that one of Jim's aunt's passed suddenly last night - his mother's younger sister, the one "with all the health problems." I'd never met her, but I am given to understand the woman took a back injury into diabetes over the course of decades. I've met one of her sons - he's 300 lbs, if he's a day. It's a shame - and a blessing. She'd been confined to bed - the best they'd rehabbed her to was a wheelchair. Maybe within five years of my age - or less. All I ever heard was "obese." It'll kill you, no doubt about it. And for her youth (relatively), she'd had a very hard life - yes, it's a blessing. Poor thing. The saddest part? I was able to guess accurately how long it would take them to put funeral arrangements together, and it would fall just outside our travel window.

I shouldn't know these things. But I won't be able to keep saying that, as I enter the latter part of my forties. I'm quickly entering that part of my life where those things just get assumed.

There are days when I feel my age is just one big Spoiler for anyone younger than me. "Don't tell me about that part - you'll spoil it for me!"

H-ooookay. I grew up in Hemet. I have a very good idea of what's ahead. I saw it daily in people who lived into their nineties, shopping for cat litter. Believe me, it's an asset most of the time -
