Things are getting better when it comes to health. It's good when the worst problem you have is because you had an instant of stupidity and bit your tongue. Still as soon as my insurance paperwork is done (which should be next week), I'm going to the doctor. My ear thingie is better, but it insists on having second thoughts about healing 100%.

I'm SO frustrated about digitaltides's birthday present! The online version of the store that is nearer to my home said they had it, but when I go to pick it up they said "we don't carry it". You can imagine my face when I told them "but I just saw it on your online store!" and they replied "really, we don't carry that kind of thing". And it's not like I was going to order it online when the shop is two blocks from home...
Still, I managed to get my hands on it (no, I'm not saying what it is!) and tomorrow I'm going to damn post office no matter what! It's been almost 20 days since his birthday... Is it still OK to send a kiss and a hug? I feel really stupid, but it HAD to be that particular present!

My brother's come home from his vacations and I'm really happy. Mostly because I get help with the housework... but who am I kidding, we fight like cats and dogs but I still love my big bro. Oh, and he brought a lot of Brazilian candy for me! Another 2 weeks and Mum and Dad will be home. I'll be a relief, because really, I'm getting tired of the bank(s) calling everyday. And the phone companies that insist they have better long distance fares... How many times will I have to say "We don't call long distance, don't call again"?
Too bad my Granny won't be coming home with my parents. The doctor's found another hernia (she had one last year) and she'll have to stay to get it fixed. Can't help but worry, she's strong but is still 96 years old.

I've become addicted to orange juice again. It's not the fresh and squeezed-in-front-of-you $2 stuff I used to drink back in 2001, but it's ok. I remember drinking 1 litre a day when I worked at Rock's comic-book store. Damn, now I gotta get another glass... I'm weak.
