I'm horrible at committing myself to this, but really do miss the days when I wrote in my LJ regularly. <br /><br />Today I wait wait wait for yet another biopsy result from a mole. I'm supposed to hear back either today or Monday, and am hoping dearly that I hear back today! This was the strangest mole yet... and even... peeled... (ew!!!). A cousin died at 25 from malignant melanoma, and an aunt on the *other* side of our family had one removed. There is another in there too... but I've forgotten who it was. Basically, the family history is glaringly present, and therefore I'm rather nervous today. Bleh.<br /><br />So to change the topic to something much cheerier... <br /><a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/janukanu/pic/00001daa/"><img height="240" border="0" width="179" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/janukanu/pic/00001daa/s320x240" alt="" /></a><br />This is my spawn... playing on his "computer" upside-down. This is NOT unusual.... ;)<br /><a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/janukanu/pic/00002dbg/"><img height="240" border="0" width="319" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/janukanu/pic/00002dbg/s320x240" alt="" /></a><br /><br />And here Sean is... threatening me after I invaded his imaginary<br />world to photograph it... <br /><br /><a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/janukanu/pic/00003xte/"><img height="240" border="0" width="319" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/janukanu/pic/00003xte/s320x240" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Lastly... here is my baby turning 4 (his birthday was January 9)...<br />and his Wall-E cake. And his Wall-E shirt. He loves Wall-E,<br />and often has Eve blow up his toy railroad. <br /><br />Now let's see if I can blog again *before* years roll by... eh?<br /><br />urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:janukanu:2916Seriously, Wow!2007-04-03T03:14:30Z2008-11-30T06:27:35ZI can't really describe how wonderful it is having the upstairs neighbors move way way out of our lives. Today their crap was hauled (most), and the carpet was pulled. We also offered up our old stove (it belonged to landlord anyway, we were storing it)... and so now we also have more room in our garage!<br /><br />In a decent neighborhood, these people really were sore thumbs. Our next door neighbors used to watch them throw bags of garbage out the window onto the trash heap on the side of the house. This trash heap left some time ago, after we and others called the health department. <br /><br />My point is... they were BAD. And they only got way way way worse. And now they are gone, and the upstairs apartment is being fixed up. It's actually a really sweet layout, and I WISH my brother would move in! hehehe. It would just be awesome to have someone we're comfy with living up there. <br /><br />We feared that the landlord wouldn't clean things properly, but instead he's doing as he should. YAY!<br /><br />So my mind is feeling much happier. I think a lot of my depression stemmed from the sickness up there. It was very oppressive. And embarrassing. *sigh*<br /><br />Twoot,<br />Jenai
