Ok, so last month I had surgery. For those who didn't know, it was a hernia repair. Surgery went well and I was on my feet and out the door by 4pm. My recovery was without incident and I'm told rather quick, especially for a diabetic. I no longer have any pain from the area and do have to remind myself that I'm not supposed to pick things up. I'm still under the doctor's care till February 12th when he will officially release me. Last visit he said all looked excellent though. *grin*

So other than a really bad case of cabin fever the state of the Kayote is AWESOME! lol

Well, it's been over a month since Jimmy paid any child support. Like I said before, not that it bothers me that he racks up the bill with the interest they charge him on the balance and when you owe over $20,000 in arrears, the interest is astounding... but I degress.

So I just got off the phone with the AG office in Texas and they have put Jimmy back on the naughty dead beat dad list and flagged his SSN for locate.

I guess I should brace myself now for a new round of crazy from the Psycho Stalker aka

Oh the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I've bought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

When we finally kiss good night
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But if you'll really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm

The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still goodbying
But as long as you love me so
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

I know some people were upset that Rowling seemed to ignore the GLBT community in her Harry Potter series. Well it seems she really did not as now she's saying that one of the most beloved characters was Gay. :)

Albus Dumbledore, master wizard and Headmaster of Hogwarts, is gay. J.K. Rowling, author of the mega-selling fantasy series that ended last summer, outed the beloved character Friday night while appearing before a full house at Carnegie Hall. [click for full story...]
