My sister

I love my sister.

I used to hate her. I hated her so much I punched and kicked her. Now I love her, so much that is anyone hurt her I would take a number of large men and go after them Reservoir Dogs style.

She's having surgery today. Nothing serious.. don't woryy. But I worry anyway.

I miss her.

So, what's the difference between ADD and procrastination? I have had the hardest time focusing this week. I get a little bit of work done, and then my brain is off again on some random thought, and then I get online and surf, and then I play spolitaire, and then I work some more, and then... and then... (No and then!!!)...

You get the picture.

I am very restless this week. Restless in mind, body and soul. I have a million things I want to do at any second, but I can't choose one. My body is going in strange hormonal directions, and my soul is recovering (albeit slowly) from a long-term sickness.

I need wings. I need to breathe underwater. I need to be in a completely new environment.

I want to be an Etch-a-Sketch, and give my life a reboot. I want to be able to truly stop thinking and worrying. People always give me advice on how to relax....

Digression: You know how people you love have some character traits you hate but just have to accept? Here's my dad's: At one point I was completely overwhelmed by life, specifically a work task that had turned into Mt. Everest. My dad's advice to me? "Remember, you're a {insert family name here}. Just do it." Just do it? If I could just "do it" it would already be done and I wouldn't be stressing. But my dad, loveable lug that he is, has never been overwhelmed by anything. He cannot comprehend depression, anxiety, worry, helplessness, at least not on the level that I (and some other family members) feel it.

Ok... back to topic.... I need to relax. I need other things too, but this is a family show.

On my comprehensive exams for my Master's degree I had a question abotu Rutherford. I blew it, of course.

So, here's a link to Rutherford, the "father" of the atom:

I cannot believe how long it has been since I posted. Let's see, what excuses do I have? Um... work, yeah, work will always do. I'm organizin this conference, you see.. and trying to figure out, yet aagain, what i want to do with my life. And then there is the never-ending social life summer. Gosh, summer tires me out.... and the cat! Yeah, Psychokitty has been just runnign me ragged...

Does that get me off the hook?
