My lovely neighbor fixed me a birthday dinner tonight..so I've eaten several birthday dinners during the course of this week! It was absolutely wonderful, with fresh garden picked lettuces, basil pesto on spinach and ricotta pasta and strawberry shortcake for dessert. Gotta love it.

Being that it was Monday, and Friday I had placed several phone calls to doctors; I made a couple of more phone calls, seeing that I'm supposed to go away this weekend and I wanted to make sure that was ok. Well, I never heard from one single doctor. Am I surprised? Nope. So I decided I'm going to my 40th high school reunion anyway...come hell or high water. The plans have been in place for months; my girlfriend of 42 years is coming to pick me up to take me there and spend the weekend with me; so the hell with it - I'm going. I really don't care if I keel over and drop dead while I'm there, as long as I get to go. Not that I think there's any possibility of that happening; but you'd think if they find something in your brain, they'd at least have the common courtesy to give you a call back and say, yeah..it's cool...or no, you really need to be careful, something! y'know? No, they just call and say "there's a growth in your brain. Don't drive". "Well, what does that mean exactly?" Doctor: "I don't know, you'll have to talk to a neurologist. Do you have one?" I feel like I'm talking to aliens. Could these people be any less responsive? Do they take a course in school on how to make their patients feel stupid and ignorant? Honest to God..I'd give anything to have Dr. Kirsch back..he at least spoke to me like a human being. He didn't listen very well..but he at least recognized the fact that I am a person! It's astounding..I don't know what they do to these poor people in medical school, but it must be highly dehumanizing.

The third thing on Pye's list for the sixth day is very sad. I guess I have to blame it on the brain. When I thought Speedle was rejoining CSI Miami, I was basing that on an article that popped up when I googled Rory news for the past 24 hours. (I know, I'm way gone)(That's a whole nother story)(and it's not really what you think)(or maybe it's not what I really think...I'm not sure...but anyway)this TV Guide article popped up at the top of the list...and it was about CSI "exhuming" Rory's character. Well, it was the middle of the night..I was sleepy, I have a funky brain..and I guess it was partly wishful thinking; because honestly - I don't even watch it anymore! Well..he's not coming back. The article was old, and it was about when they brought him back as ghost last year. Bloody hell. So go ahead and trash the set after all, what do I care. I'm only going to turn the thing on if I can watch Speedle anyway. pfff
Well, that's not completely true. I would watch Little Britain if they showed it.
