It's not that there hasn't been a lot going on lately. Despite the fact that I lost pretty much an entire week of my life due to being on my deathbed, I also breezed through my first holiday with somebody else's family (Easter with the boy), (hopefully) straightened some things out with my roommate, and my gramps is back in the hospital (but it's not supposed to be anything serious). Oliver is still gimpy and it still breaks my heart every other day and then we'll have a day like this morning where he took off running out the back door chasing some birds and I have to wonder just how much pain he's really in and how much he's just milking it for the attention.
There's so much I could write about, I'm just lazy lately. Content, at least more content than I've been in a really long time which is probably a little odd given the fact that there is so much chaos in my life right now. It's amazing how easy the chaos can be to navigate when you have someone there to hold your hand along the way.

I haven�t written anything about the Terri Schiavo case because there hasn�t been much to say that hasn�t already been said and because I�ve often shied away from political issues in this journal (not always � but often). I�m not going to get into the political side of it today either - perhaps someday I'll regale you with my thoughts on this matter. But today? I�m just hoping that today, finally, she is at peace.

So...instead of anything really informative, I'm going to just steal this from Sar.
Bold the ones you've seen, italic the ones you've seen parts of, underline the ones you own... and add three.
