Sorry, I am still very busy and not keeping up at all well with LJ and DW. I owe people replies to their comments, I know, and I'm slowly getting through them. But on the bright side, I am slightly less depressed than I was when I last updated. Yay.
Two reasons to update:
1. It started SNOWING again last Friday morning, and has yet to really stop for more than about 12 hours at a time. SNOWING!!! In Vancouver, of all places.
2. Does anybody have a good recommendation or five for good books about the English Civil War, preferably published at some point in the past 40 years? See, I was obsessed with "The Children of the New Forest" when I was a kid, must've read it so many times the book literally fell apart. And as a child, I also read some history books about the English Civil War belonging to my parents. But they were probably pretty old even when I read them. Then I kind of dropped the subject until just recently, and now there are all these new (or at least published after I was born) books out there, and I don't know which of them are good.

But also glad you're slightly less depressed. How did your emptying study go?

I just did the emptying study yesterday morning and it was...anti-climactic. I was expecting a little more excitement, given that we were fooling around with radioactivity, but it was just me, a nuclear medicine tech, and a trainee tech, sitting around for 2.5 hours, getting my abdomen scanned every 10 or 15 minutes. As medical tests go, it was easily the least painful and least embarrassing, possibly because I didn't have to put on any hospital gowns. Thanks for remembering and asking.
