I woke up today with a head cold and aches in my body. Must be getting old. But if I'm getting older than everyone else is too. I have my big surgery day on May 13th. Friday the 13th! I will probably wake up with one of my arms or legs missing. I am very superstitious and I hate friday the 13th. Especially if it is a friday the 13th that I am being sedated and cut up. That weekend is also the annual boys camp out so I will be home all alone in a quiet house to recover. Does it mean I need a vacation when I am looking forward to this like it's a respite?

I have shut the TV off today because every station is talking about Bin Laden's death. While it was exciting this morning when I woke up and first heard about it, I don't care to hear anymore. A news reporter this morning was requesting on live TV for the photos of his body to be released to the US people so they could have confirmation that he is in fact dead. What is wrong with people? I don't need to see photos of a dead body and I certainly don't want them on the TV where my children might catch a glimpse of them. A man at walmart is claiming the end of the world is May 21st. I say...bring it on.
