1. This article is interesting, and it makes me think of potential research in sensory integration techniques in the autism population. I hope researchers perhaps can get beyond the stick and hammer -- how about a feather and birthday cake!

2. I will post pictures of painted furniture soon.

3. I study calculus every night! College is so fun! The third time around is always the best!

4. The Star published this article Sunday about the possibility of troops in Iraq being exposed to toxic substances and consequently developing cancer. The information is gripping and I want to see tons of research and perhaps lawsuits. Tons.

no-work weekend!

David Bromstad is so cute. I painted several pieces of furniture. It was fun. Various species of bug tried to eat me alive. Were they attracted to the latex paint or what? OMG, Ali G as Borat is sooooooooooooo not funny. Tomorrow I would like to eat popcorn. And probably paint more furniture. Is anyone else ever plagued by thoughts of what you're not doing, even as you're doing something else? Like, I was reading an article in the New Yorker and simultaneously thinking about the articles in the new New Yorker that I hadn't read. Robert Wright doesn't know who "Jess and Nick" are. I am soooooooooooo scared about starting school. On so many levels. The t-mobile commercial is funny! Dad: So, there's 5 of us and we can each put 5 people on myfaves, so that's 26! Child: No, that's 25. Other child: Yeah, 5x5=25. Dad: No ... no. 26. Carry the nine. (Leaves room) Mom: That's why you need to stay in school, kids.

I just started working part-time at a SNF (skilled-nursing facility, AKA nursing home; pronounced "sniff"). It is very, very amusing.

Neil (of the famous grilled cheese) is still mending from Friday's oral surgery. We are hoping that his pain lifts today, since the doctor gave him a new medicine yesterday. (Is it "topical" if it's in the mouth? Probably not. But "oral" suggests swallowing ... "gummal?" Further research obviously is needed.)

I feel apprehensive and excited about school starting in 19 days. And mostly apprehensive about whether or not I'm going to get a campus parking permit. Neil has 4 job applications pending on campus, all of which look promising.

Yesterday I was thinking about how I probably will never think about this moment again, and therefore why not spend it doing something nice and worthwhile? I spend countless minutes each day thinking about time and money and scheduling (e.g., "When I get paid for this in two weeks, should I put the money into savings or pay some bills in advance ... or both ...?"), and it's ostensibly to help myself in the future when I need to actually make those decisions (e.g., when I get paid). But give me a break, how long does it take to transfer money upon getting paid, it's not like I need to formulate a 5-step plan 100 times over in advance. And further, it's not like I'll get paid and reflect back positively upon the countless minutes spent in "busy work." So. Right now is it. It is here and will never be again. Ever. Let's see how long I can carry that through the day!

Interesting: Who's minding the mind?
