RIP

Well ... no big news to people now. but Michael Jackson has passed away. I'm in shock - and I AM surprised, regardless of all the people on TV saying it had been coming for awhile.

I just remember listening to him all the time and my somewhat bewildered grandmother going to the store to buy me the Thriller RECORD to play on my RECORD PLAYER ... I can't even believe I'm that old. She looked none too pleased to see this young man showing his chest, laying with a tiger - and her granddaughter's reaction to him. I absolutely LOVED Michael Jackson. Rest in peace - I hope you're truly in peace - and blessings to your poor parents, siblings and especially your three little kids ... I am so sad tonight.

In other news, I heard of this coming back from the doctor- flash back to my STRESS TEST post from last week. The news is that the doctor doesn't think it was meant for me. The request was on a sticky note on my folder. He thinks it was meant for someone else. He said my age and the fact that I'm not really having any symptoms- make the stress test not necessary.

So ... I'm relieved to hear THAT news! ok ... well, off to mourn.
