silent all these years

Bet you can't guess where that lyric came from (Lisa).

I feel like I need to qualify the statement about not being pregnant. That really should have gone right after the fainting at work statement. Number one, I fainted because I had blood taken earlier that day and had to be carted off in an ambulance to Abbott (apparently I was convulsing?). Number two, I paid enough to buy like 25 EPT tests for what they charged me to tell me I was not pregnant, even though I gave them three reasons why I could not possibly be pregnant at this time in my life. So that is what that was all about. Just so you are all aware. Not pregnant in any way, shape or form, and not even worried about it.

And then, this is from the book I'm currently reading and it's amazing:

"I lie down again with my back in the pine needles, and it feels good to breathe the ice-cold air. I look up between the tree trunks to the sky, which is completely clear and full of stars, and it slowly turns around, the whole world turns slowly around and is a huge, empty space. Silence is everywhere, and there is nothing between me and the stars, and when I try to think of something, I think of nothing. I close my eyes and smile to my self." - In the Wake, Per Petterson

Please read it. And read Out Stealing Horses, also by him, and is equally amazing. Have a cup of coffee and think of Norway while you read it and you shan't be sorry.

Off to clean my stuff up so that the cleaning lady doesn't clean it up for me.
