The youngest has a party coming up in English class to celebrate their reading of The Tell-Tale Heart, with the theme being “Blue Eyeball Day.” One of the activities is making a T-shirt with a blue eyeball on it. We were going to use the same eyeball from the second-youngest’s shirt to save time/money/aggravation, but apparently we aren’t allowed to do that because it would be plagiarism. So here, on this website, is a picture of said artwork so that we can properly cite it using MLA format.

I got my gallbladder taken out.

Of course, it didn’t go smoothly, but then what ever does? So I find myself convalescing here waiting for the bleeding to slow down enough for me to go home.

The chaplain stopped by tonight to see how I was doing and to fulfill his seminarial duties (probably more the latter), and one of the things he asked me was what I was taking away from this experience. And I’m not sure what I said or if I said anything at all. I’m not really good off the cuff. But I should have told him not to be a surgeon.
