Extra: Scrabulous Game Face

I've been playing so much scrabulous that I had to have this one in the 365 record. :)

Bespectacled and respectable?

And with some crazy-ass eyebrows.

Water is always therapeutic.

My Hands are small, I know

If I could tell the world just one thing
It would be that we're all OK
And not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful
And useless in times like these
I won't be made useless
I won't be idle with despair
I will gather myself around my faith
For light does the darkness most fear

My hands are small, I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken

Poverty stole your golden shoes
It didn't steal your laughter
And heartache came to visit me
But I knew it wasn't ever after
We'll fight, not out of spite
For someone must stand up for what's right
'Cause where there's a man who has no voice
There ours shall go singing

My hands are small I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
I am never broken

In the end only kindness matters
In the end only kindness matters
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray

My hands are small I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken

My hands are small I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken

We are never broken
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's mind
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's heart
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's eyes
We are God's hands
We are God's hands

In the end only kindness matters

A Short Series: When Ampersand goes to the ER

Here are some shots from the ER. Of course you all know I had to pimp them out a bit. My daughter took the last one. I hope the photo effects make it abstract enough for you needle squeamish folks.





Isn't that hostpital gown attractive? It does make a cool pattern when photoshopped.

I was a bit of a rebel and left on my sports bra, shorts, and crocs. I took off the ballcap, though. ;P

Fortunately I had a nurse with a sense of humor who allowed me that dignity.

I'm off to the cardiologist this afternoon to see wassup with me. :)

Thanks for all the well wishes, my dear cyber friends. It was most heartening to read all your comments yesterday!

ETA: My beloved Boogieman just IM'd me to say that I am crazy to have taken photos at the hospital. Before you all agree with him, let me just say that these were taken after my heart rate and BP had returned to normal and I was waiting to be discharged. It was only then that I turned to my daugther and asked her to get the camera out of my backpack. But I am dedicated to this project!

Are You READY?

Redskins' training camp opened today.

Sorry about the unfortunate name -- I like to call them the Redskin Potatoes.

My daughter put these on my wrist...she has a matching set.
I'm not taking mine off any time soon, they remind me of thirteen, and love.
