1. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who voted for my blog in the “Blogs of Summer Awards”! Thanks to all of you, “Using My Powers For Good” came in 3rd with 79 votes. Woo hoo!

2. Thank you also to everyone who has been keeping my family in your thoughts and prayers. Apparently when my grandfather got to the second hospital they discovered that all 5 of his coronary arteries were almost completely blocked, and so last night he had quintuple bypass surgery. He came through the surgery well, and now we are just waiting to see what happens next.

I have designed my own 2-part method of coping with this stress:

Part One: Designated Dining For Disasters

I make sure to get in enough nutrients from each of these four food groups:

-sugar
-fat
-carbs
-caffeine

Part Two: 2-D Action Plan

I plan activities that rely heavily on

distraction
and
denial

(Along with the time-tested practice of going to bed in one room of the house and awakening the next morning in a completely different spot, with absolutely no memory whatsoever of how I got there. This is extremely bizarre, because I am normally a VERY light sleeper, much like Heather B. Armstrong of dooce describes her daughter: “Sometimes at night while she is asleep in her room at the back of the house I can wake her up from fifty feet away by imagining the sound an eyelash would make if it drifted to the ground.”)

So please keep us in your thoughts, and I will keep you posted.
