my thyroid levels are fine, so hooray for that. my 1-hour glucose screen came back high, though. bugger. i'm on a diet until wednesday. nothing except water after midnight that night, and then i go in for my appointment at 10am on thursday and i'll have blood drawn three times over three hours. oh, yay. all of the other stuff they checked for in my blood was ok, though, so at least i have that. hopefully i'll pass the 3-hour glucose tolerance thing and be done with this, although i'm sure that even if i am, i'll have to be tested again further down the road.

my insane brother was here from thursday - sunday. actually, he seemed to be sane on thursday, but from friday on, it was the normal cannot-deal-with-you craziness. saturday night i went and stayed over at rob's just so that i could get the hell out of here. he got a kitten this past week. and of course he's just too cute (the kitten, although of course i think rob's cute, too). while rob was attempting to sort out the mess of cords behind all of the computer equipment that occupies his living room, i played with kitty until we were both tired. actually, somewhere in there rob made me some veggie quesadillas that were really good, and also probably made me want to go to sleep even more. i know that i passed out before rob came to bed, and i think kitty did, too, but i'm not sure about that. rob said he banned kitty from the bedroom at some time during the morning because kitty was up and he wanted us to be up, too.

last night rob, my mother & i went to see jesus jones. yep, my mom went with. i was actually going to blow the show off, and then one day last week my mom is all "we need to get tickets to jesus jones!" eh? never would have assumed that she really wanted to go. i think she'd mentioned it and i'd kind of blown it off as well because i thought it was more like "i'll go with you if you can't find anyone else who wants to go." (which wouldn't be a surprise - usually, none of my friends want to see bands that i want to see.) anyway, the show was very good and i just felt bad for the band that they didn't get a better crowd in there. i don't know if it was truly just nobody giving a shit about jj anymore (some guy in one of the opening bands was like "wow, i didn't know they were still around" "DUH TO YOU!" i say), or that it was father's day, or maybe a combination of the two. the club wasn't empty, but it certainly wasn't packed, either. oh well, anyone who lives in houston and considered going, but didn't - bollocks to you! iain wasn't there, so he was replaced by a DAT tape and that was ok. i thought they sounded brilliant. rob was never really into them. well, certainly not like i was (most people weren't), but he said he thought they were excellent. my mom also had a good time and she went out to dance for the songs she knew. heh. she even brought her camera, and took some pictures of mr. edwards for me, who by the way, is as cute as he ever was. i wanted to buy the new cd, since it was for sale at the merchandise stand for less than i'd pay through their online shop, but then rob was insistent about me buying a t-shirt, also. he ended up paying for both. the silliest part is that the biggest t-shirt they had was a large, so i imagine i won't be able to wear it for much longer here anyway.
