Everything?
Well, maybe not *everything* ...

I'm feeling energetic and boundless today, with a vague whiff of sleepiness (oddly & randomly) thrown in for good measure.

Heartbroke.. Keith Olbermann was a staple for me since we got digital cable a year ago.  It's going to be weird not seeing him on tv anymore, not to mention the Thurbur stories on Friday nights.  They always made my Fridays.

Am amused.  I watched the Denis Leary special tonight, Douchebags and Donuts.  I think it was on Comedy Central last week.  Us Canucks got to watch it tonight. *G*  What I thought was funniest was that he was uncensored, but when he was singing, the words to the songs were on a screen behind him, and they were censored.  He'd say the word, "penis," but it was blurred on the screen.  Struck me funny

Ohh, that's good, Hazmat!

Today - I'm befuddled.  Ran into a friend I haven't caught up with in a while.  Politely put, she looks wrung out.  Asked her how she was doing, she said she's been on the run for the last couple of weeks, between work and her son in the hospital. 

I asked if he was doing better.  She said he was in the mental hospital, and had been given an anti depressant that he seems to be responding to.  He's autistic, but quite high functioning, as they call it, and a real sweetheart.  He'd been balking and complaining about not wanting to go to school lately.  He doesn't always communicate well enough to get to the "Why" part.  When she got up with him to get him to school in the morning, she found him in the kitchen, with a knife from the butcher block pointed at his chest, screaming that if he had to go to school anymore, he was going to kill himself.

He's been mainstreamed, and the bullying was finally more than he could handle.  His poor mother and his doctors finally managed to get that out of him after several days of therapy and a lot of meds.

He's 8 years old.

Recovering - have had a rough three weeks. Hernia operation & haemo for 6 weeks has not gone as expected. Haemo has been bit rough & ended up with hospital time because bowel blockage. Think I'm on the mend. Back on IHD so must be getting better .
