things that make me happy and things that make me not so much

Good news on my brother. He may have lost his fingernails, but according to the doctor he didn't really lose anything else other than a lost of skin. In fact he pretty much skinned his fingertips, mangled one just a bit, but eventually he should be pretty much back to normal. I can't tell you how happy this makes me as, though I was calm and collected outside during the whole day, I was churning inside. I can't tell you how awful it was to think you were seeing your little brother possibly lose not only the fingers, but also the ability to do his favorite activities. There is no way to pull back a bow without your first two fingers, and fishing will be extremely difficult for a while too. Now, it will be out for a little while, but it won't be out forever. That makes me very happy.

You know what else makes me happy? Tony Bennett. Yes this is sort of one of those random conversations we have. I saw a documentary/performance show tonight and I have been listening to the three cds I have ever since. It is very much the happy making.

Know what makes me not happy though... Blossom end rot on my tomatoes. I've pulled off about 5 or so and everyone was ruined to it. I hope to get some of them to come through ok, but since I';ll be gone while they are ripening, it may not be possible. It sucks to put all that work into a garden only to have them ruined by something like this. Luckily there are a lot of plants that look like they will bear a lot of fruit so maybe if I can get a some that don't have it I can still make some sauce. Hopefully. This is very much the crazy making.
