Blessed by the Potato

Happy Potatomas to everyone!

I’m in the midst of packing up to spend a week with my parents. While I’m gone, the poor web server will have to chug along without me: odds are, it’ll sieze up around day 5. I’ll apologize for that in advance.

I had my CT scan today, it went fairly well (and boy is that contrast agent injection feelling rather strange). I stopped by futureshop on the way home (why do I bother?) to try to get a last-minute gift for my dad. I checked the in-store availability checker on the website, and it said that the item I wanted was in stock — but it was no where to be found in store. The clerk said not to put any faith in that tool, particularly around the holidays. Well, there goes another strike against futureshop in my book.
