Betta Update and Blindsided

lydamorehouseWell, from the research I was able to do on the internet, my best guess is that Johnny/Giant-Girl has two tumors. There’s nothing that will make them better, but at least one site seemed to imply that as long as he isn’t acting sick, he isn’t in imminent danger. Apparently, some bettas with tumors live on to a ripe old age. My only concern, of course, is how rapidly they appeared and that there’s not one, but two!
And, of course, this whole thing seems like some kind of horrible real-life metaphor for everything that’s going on with Shawn’s dad.
That just goes with my general feeling of being blindsided*, because this morning my mom e-mails me and tells me she was watching some late night show and she heard the Bucky will be the new Captain America. My mom! (At least my mom said “Bugsby” so I could still feel vaguely superior), but why am I the last to know, people?
Then on Facebook someone tells me some information *I’m* still waiting to hear from my agent.
And John Edwards dropped out of the race? He was just here in Minnesota last night. Did call me to give me a little advanced warning that was coming down the pike? No. Well, hell. Just when I was feeling all decider-y.
-----------------
*Note: I re-read this after said-Facebook friend apologized and realized that for a writer I did a piss-poor job of implying the correct tone. This whole little rant isn't meant to be taken too seriously. I figured starting with my mom spoiling Cap's secret would clue the reader into realizing that the rest of these bits made my day brighter, actually. But, I think maybe that's hard to tell since the rest of my life has been so crappy lately (Shawn's dad, sick fish, etc.) Anyway, the point of this addition is to let you know that I actually found the rest of the blindsidign things kind of funny in a "sheesh!" sort of way.
Oh, and it looks like I'll have an announcement to make tomorrow.
