Mother's Day weekend was bittersweet. The sweet consisted of being reminded that it had been one year since bringing Belldandy home, receiving a rosebush from husband and child, and spending most of that day with MY mother (and father and daughter). The bitter? Going with my husband to the cemetery the day before to visit the grave-sites of HIS mother and half-brother, and learning that My Dad has prostate cancer. Yes, I know that Prostate cancer is one of the more easily treated and survivable of the lot.... but my dad is 77, has diabetes, high blood pressure and heart problems.

Daughter is having boy problems again.... it's complicated. For a while she and the Out-of-State Scumsucker from the January/February soap opera tried to patch things up, his mother got into the act and offered to pay for Daughter to fly out there and go to OoSSs' high school Prom, but that fell through... then one of her 'friends-who-happens-to-be-a-boy' from Anime Club started liking Daughter... a LOT. Poor kid was almost crying on my shoulder, 'cause she DOES like him, as a friend; wants to keep him as a friend, doesn't want to give him false hope; and now he's asked her to double date with another couple from Anime CLUB to OUR prom. I can sympathize; I went through something similar my Junior year in college, during which it seemed like every time I turned around one of my male classmates whom I considered a friend was professing an interest in 'getting closer'...

Well, enough angst. My right foot, badly sprained just before Easter, seems to be healing properly, although not yet up to par. Still limping a bit, especially when tired, and it aches at odd intervals. The doctor told me it generally takes 4-6 weeks, and I know I've pushed it a bit.

There's a fanfic fandom meme making the rounds: Choose a character from the posted list of fandoms, and I'll tell you three things about him/her/it from my personal fanon/fanfiction. I've hesitated because I've written so little, in only a few fandoms, and I'm not sure if anything I come up with will make ANY sense, especially since I tend to blend my fanons in weird ways (multi-fandom crossovers, anyone?) But.....

Here goes: Real Ghostbusters
AirWolf
Highlander
StarGate SG:1
Yu-Gi-Oh! (not GX)
Brokeback Mountain
