i was down all day.
i covered it well though.
i thought i would actually snap out of it if i pretended everything was ok.
it didn’t really work, just gave me a headache.
so i laid in bed almost all day.
tomorrow will be better, right?
went into the hospital for surgery on Tuesday- got released yesterday. SORE AS FUCK today, but otherwise ok. All the nurses were confused @ my surgery- with each one it went something like this:
Nurse: Oh, I see they’re going to fix a hole in your heart.
Me: No, they are going to make a hole in my heart. It’s called an atrial septostomy.
Nurse: I’ve never heard of that, are you sure?
Me: Yes, I am sure.
Nurse: Why are they doing it?
Me: Because I have a heart condition that they are trying to fix.
Nurse: By making a hole in your heart?
Me: Yes.
Nurse: Are you sure?
Me: *Nods*
Nurse: I don’t understand that. Why would they do that?
Me: Is Jackie Peyton working?
Nurse: Who?
Me: Nevermind, it was a joke.
Nurse: Oh, so they are fixing a hole in your heart?
*facepalm*
just to clarify in case anyone asks:
I was not receiving the atrial septostomy for what it was originally intended.
I have a rare heart condition that only came to light a few years ago. No one knows what causes it, or how to fix it, so this was an experiment of sorts to see if it might help. Just to put it into perspective, when I was diagnosed there were only 200 other people with the same condition in the US.
It’s just one more thing in my life that makes me who I am, it doesn’t define me anymore than being gay does. Love you guys!
I get a technical error every time I try to post a pic or “like” something on Tumblr for the past couple of days!
this is my great great grandparents.
genealogy is cool. i have our family history all the way back to 1565.
an exchange between 2 people:
#1: Obama hates this country, he’s a Muslim. He was born in Kenya. His name is Muslim!
#2: Wow, you Jews really hate Muslims don’t you?
#1: I’m a Christian!
#2: Your name is Greenberg- you’re a JEW!
#1: No, I am a Christian!
#2: You have a Jewish name, you are a Jew.
I don’t think #1 ever got it, but I certainly had a little laugh to myself.
i will start a new painting today i will start a new painting today i will start a new painting today…
i started a new painting yesterday- just like i kept telling myself i would. seems today i did almost anything to avoid working on it. it’s 6pm and i have gone to “browse for” and ended up purchasing new flooring for my studio, decided i needed a retro looking ceiling fan/light combo for the dining room (found! yay!), went to the garden center for tomato plants and pots, ate lunch, ran into a good friend and finally made it home. now it’s time to decide on dinner and we have people stopping by later….
i swear it wasn’t planned this way.
my kitteh is fascinated by me shoveling food into my face. she watches the utensils go to my mouth and she is inquisitive and wide eyed. i always wonder if she’s gonna try it when i’m not looking, but hey i’m crazy.
on my way to the market I saw a metallic mint green caprice classic with 24” rims. To make it even better it was covered with hundreds of Chanel logos. I don’t even know where to start…
I wish I could have gotten a pic.
i was bored.
those old movie posters offer endless entertainment value. speaking of, does anyone remember the old Joan Crawford ones I did? I should dig them up.
