I forgot...

I forgot to post anything here in a while. Sorry. TOo much to do.

The perfect (raw) turkey

It was perfect. Yes it was. It was gorgeously browned, skin crisp, meat moist and flavorful. Just perfect. Except for the raw part. So we cut off the perfect breast meat and threw the rest of the carcass back in the oven to cook. The dressing is cooking at the same time, thus assuring that nothing will be finished on time. Oh well. At least it LOOKED good.

Luddites and other fearful creatures

My daughter's teacher is a Luddite. Of course, I had to explain the meaning of the word "luddite'' to HER, because, well, she is a 15 year old girl and not privy to all words in the dictionary. Unlike myself, who has been privy but has forgotten all of them now. Except for "luddite", of course. I told her to call her teacher a luddite and see how he took it, but she's afraid of him killing her (something about a pistola), so she is going to tell her friend Jacki who will then call him Luddite and ostensibly be killed by the pistola. Good times.

So. There is the smallest of possibilities that I could have leukemia. Now ain't that a pip? I would dismiss it out of hand if it weren't for the fact that I have several other rare conditions. It just seems very unlikely that ONE person could have so many different diseases that are so rare. But there you have it.

What would I do if I actually DO have it? Well, die I suppose. I don't know what else would happen. Tom is freaking a bit on me, although he seems to have calmed down some now. Tom's mother died of leukemia. I don't know if he could handle it at all. I don't know how much I could expect him to handle. Truly.
