life update

So, my uncle died yesterday of cancer. When I say "uncle" I mean "husband of one of my father's many sisters". I hadn't actually known he had cancer. They aren't having a service for him (which would be tough for me to get to anyway, since it would be in Ontario and I am not, and I can classes and work), but they are having him cremated and possibly my aunt will be coming east to spread his ashes in the Shediac River. Mom's keeping me posted. I'm not sure if I should be sending a condolence card to my cousins and aunt or what. What do you do?

I have a midterm tomorrow and a paper due for the same course on Wednesday, and I am woefully unprepared.

I have a headache that just does not want to go away, although I did some stretches last night that seemed to help for a while.

I need to find some place locally that carries Ben & Jerry's The Gobfather ice cream. The local cornerstore had it and got me hooked, but now they don't, and neither does the grocery store, and dammit I want some.
