One of my biggest beefs is people who don't knock while I'm on the toilet or changing my clothes.

Why do I hear so much anger when I hear the phrase "precious little snowflakes?"

WTF?

This is effing surreal. I have been living in this building since 1996 and all of a sudden Scumcast says it does not recognize my Social. They will not tell me anything over the phone so I will have to take an effing train to effing Brookland to straighten things out. And I have only had three hours of sleep. If you don't hear from me for the next several hours this is why. No offense to people who live in Brookland

RIP Patty Duke

Where do some baristas/cashiers get off thinking they can lecture paying customers?

MAJOR COMPUTER VIRUS + SLEEP-DEPRIVED PATIENT = UNPRODUCTIVE DOCTOR'S VISIT

But what's a visit to Medstar Chevy Case without a trip to Saks afterwards? Beats a lollipop. I have issues with lollipops anyway: 

I SLEPT THROUGH A LOT OF IT

We buried Mrs. D's ashes at Arlington Cemetery. And a guy fired at the Capitol with a pellet gun and Medstar has been infected with a MAJOR computer virus. Ironic for a hospital.

LESS THAN 15 HOURS UNTIL I CAN DRINK

The next time I will have to fast and abstain other than for medical reasons is March 1, 2017. Didn't require the pigs to fast as the last thing any of us needs is another GI stasis. And it would just make them poopy. Or actually un-poopy. 

TREEZ IN THE 'HOOD

Or maybe a tree grows in AdMO? 

Dupont Circle? I took these pictures at night mainly because I didn't think of it during the day but they were so pretty...

TODAY IS GOOD FRIDAY

I am obsessing over what to eat. Or rather what not to eat. A Jesuit priest told my dad or one of his friends anything you can get through a straw does not break the fast. Good thing there are Frapuccinos. And Dunkin' Donuts coffee Coolatas.

OUR LADY'S MESSAGE FOR BELGIUM

Mary’s Message for Belgium: Beauraing and Banneux: With a heavy heart, I learned of the terrorist attacks in Brussels that occurred yesterday, March 22.  Belgium is a country that found a place in my heart after I visited that great nation in January 2015.  Among the reasons why I journeyed to Belgium is that lot of my research has focused on one particular Belgian woman …

I AM SICK OF PEOPLE PLAYING WITH MY EMOTIONS AND ASKING ME TO COPY AND PASTE STUFF

I HOPE SOME PEOPLE ARE DRUNK, HIGH ETC

Because I hope they wouldn't say/do the things they do in a lucid state. 

SAW A GUY A LITTLE OLDER THAN ME WALKING DOWN CONNECTICUT AVENUE WITH A LITTLE GIRL

Could have been me and my dad more than 20 years ago. 

Why is it when I am in line at the bank the person in front of me is buying a boat, sending money to Honduras or depositing seven hundred dollars in pennies?

BLUE MERCURY TO THE RESCUE

The last thing I needed before my podcast was a rosacea flare up but the women at Blue Mercury on Connecticut Avenue fixed me up nicely:

EXPLOSIONS AT BRUSSELS AIRPORT

Despite all the jokes about SABENA probably my favourite airport.

TEMPUS FUGIT

It makes me sad that Pepino is no longer my baby--he's now my "big pig."

Before the procedure Mom said "they'll probably use that stuff that killed Michael Jackson." That's gonna make me feel better? 

CHERRY BLOSSOM TIME

The Cherry Blossom Festival starts today and we're supposed to have snow tonight. 

SELF-DIAGNOSIS = BAD IDEA

It turns out I may have a bleeding ulcer. I thought it was a hiatal hernia. 

HAPPY ST JOSEPH'S DAY!

A big day in our family as my great-grandfather, grandfather, great uncle, uncle and at least four cousins are named Joseph. Five if you count Leonard Joseph. 

FOUND AN EKG LEAD STICKING TO MY HIP THIS MORNING.

HEARD ON A SIDEWALK IN ADAMS MORGAN:

 "I know what car bombs...hic." 

The drugs have worn off and I'm not sure the doctor did all the tests ordered.

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!

Gave the pigs green lettuce and orange carrots. 

This was me last St. Pat's day: 

Back view:

I kind of like the idea of hanging around the condo and pampering myself.

Without guilt.

Did not handle the IV's well, now have bruises on both hands.

I don't know how chemo/dialysis patients handle it 

Two doctors, two tests

Now waiting for biopsy results. I am not a fun person when in pain. Even when drugged.

JANEY'S NEW BABY

Janey and Pepino proudly announce their newest family member. His name is Pellegrino, formerly "Griffin" and he is a three-month-old intact TSW silky boar adopted from the Montgomery County Animal Shelter. His name is Pellegrino partly for the soda water (kind of goes with Pepsi) but mainly for St. Peregrine, patron of cancer patients. He and his three siblings were surrendered to the shelter on January 31st, I estimate their date of birth as November 22nd. His official adoption date was February 12th of this year. My heart still hurts from the loss of Patapsco but I love these two boys very much. This is his "baby picture:"
