Back to Work after the snow day – Busy day scoping out the parameter. BHK isn’t feeling very well today, tummy issues, so a light dinner all around.

What’s happening right now? (or at least since the last time the motion sensors were tripped?) As for me, I can see Pye in Newtcam window, and Newton on the Kitty Tower on Pyecam. I’m still debating doing a Scotto Cam from the laptop)

Saturday – timeline

Filled in from laptop –

Saturday, February 21, 2009 10:35 AM

Been waiting at the doctors office for about 30 minutes now – longer time than usual to get shots.

BHK is getting blood work done – I’m more peeved that she has to wait than me – she has been fasting since last night and probably has some low blood sugar going on.

I’m just glad they have some juice available to her for afterward.

After we finish here, plans are for me to get a haircut, a spot of breakfast and then visit Miss Tigger for some love while the in-laws are out off town on a school field trip.

This weekend is primarily set to be for catching up with work – home and otherwise.

Supper last night was buffalo “chicken” patties – celery for BHK, pickles for me. Caught up with an episode of Burn Notice and Psych, and then we toddled off to bed. Straightforward evening.

10:49 AM

I am back from my shot- bhk getting blood work done now.

Good day sunshine going through my head, for no reason in particular. This week did not feel like a 4-day workweek. I hope next week is less demanding on my resources.

Britny’s girlfriend broke up with her the day before valentine’s day- kind of a punk maneuver. They’re best friends “with benefits” now, but are free to see other folks.  That sounds a bit like a death knell for a relationship to me, but who knows how it will work out for them?

Haven’t heard a lot from Jay or Sean lately – I suspect that that Duncan hasx been giving them quite a run for their money.

It’s pretty cold in the doc’s office… remodeled too – the carpet is making me feel a little dizzy, too.

11:10 AM

BHK is done with bloodwork – they gave her a caprisun? I thought real fruit juice was proper, not corn syrup? Ah well, we’ll get some breakfast / lunch at home – lots of good eats there.

11:20 AM

We go to Chessie’s for subs – I get veggie & cheese, BHK gets a pizza-steak sub. I opt out of getting a haircut at the barber shop next door, as they only take cash. 7-11 next door has drinks and dessert – BHK starts on a slim jim to get her system back.

11:35 AM

Fill up with Gas, and hit the Car wash! http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-632554519355380271&hl=en


Noon

Time to peek in on Miss Tigger while the in-laws are gone and give her some food, too. Subs are lackluster.

8:00 PM

Back to feed and play with Tigger again – we brought a copy of "The Cat From Outer Space" to play with her in the room.

8:20 PM

Tigger is asleep. BHK is Asleep. I’m doing stuff on the computer, and am enjoying the old disney flick.

9:30 PM BHK is awake, Tigger is downstairs, Movie is over.

9:45 – Heading home – until Later, Dear Journal!

9605 – 2/4

Back to work! Light dusting of big fat flakes of powdery snow which was pretty in the morning, but melted away before noon came.

Larry and Chris came over for dinner of potluck leftovers – and made fresh hot dogs. Well, it was nice having them over, in any event!

BHK is worried about neighborhood kitty – she’s already named it Priscilla. I think Pris will be ok – she’s very healthy and clean… If we keep seeing her, we’ll make her a little bed and give her some food.

Men’s Health has a listing of the 20 worst foods of 2009, all of which fit the description of "calorie bombs".

The worst food is a shake from Baskin Robbins that has 2600 calories.

9604 – Tuesday

Just some nutshelling – Let’s see:

Trimmed back down to goatee.

Wasn’t feeling too well today. Got up at 8, went back to bed at noon, slept until 2.

BHK and I stayed in most of the day, save for a trip to the library and then to Roland’s to get spaghetti for tonight’s dinner. (Which was super tasty)

Chris was a bachelorette tonight, so she came over had dinner and watched NCIS with us.

After she left, we watched some Mr. Meaty left over from the marathon on Nick a week ago – The show consistently gets a good laugh or two our of me every time.

Speaking of TV – I forgot to mention that we watched the Superbowl – actually quite a good game – I really loved that 100yd snatch and grab. BHK and I still prefer the Puppy Bowl (and the kitten halftime show).

– another meme – pass it around if you want! I’m interested in what other people put. I think I found it first via Kat, or maybe Misti

9602 – monday – birthday

Got my Upper GI done – will know more in 24-48 hours. A shot of fizzy pop rocks with a Barium/chalk milkshake chaser to take pictures of my plumbing.

It’s official, despite morning nausea, moodiness and dry heaves, I’m not pregnant.

This morning, when I got up – I saw my shadow, much like Punxy Phil.

After the doc, we went to have lunch at cheeburger cheeburger and then see Taken. Not bad for a fluffy "gimme back my daughter immediately or I’ll kill everyone in my way and take her back" sort of flick. spoiler, they didn’t give his daughter back immediately.

Pic of me squinting into the sun. Figured I should document my 40th b’day for posterity.

9593 – Saturday –

Fasted since 8pm last night through this morning – got my sonogram done, but I have to reschedule my upper GI. I got copies for myself, may photograph ’em, and show images of my spleen / liver and assorted guts as shown by echo. The technician was unimpressed when I asked if I was having a boy or a girl…. probably has heard it a million times.

Possible issues could be gastritis, ulcer, gallstones, kidney stones, or the all-encompassing "OTHER".

BHK made some scones – blueberry/ginger and maple/oatmeal/pecan. Both were quite good, but contrary to my usual, I’ll have to go with the maple being just slightly superior to the blueberry ones.

Spent part of the day playing Fallout 3 on the PC, and BHK played more Boom Blox on the Wii.

The Element has some issues – likely due to the tree falling on it back in June. It seems that the Frame is bent, and that’s causing a lot of wear on the tires. instead of being | | they skew slightly like this / . Insurance is resistant to taking care of it, since it’s been a while, but we’re trying to get it ironed out – looks like about $1000 to $3000 to repair, so I may not be going to Punxy next weekend – Due to both the cost, and the time it will take to repair the love cube.

The in-laws took us out to Selby bay – I’m still eating light, but I could do a 1/2 veggie sub and fries.

I forgot to mention that the grocery lady Patricia asked me where my "nutty wife" was – BHK got a kick out of it, and I’m starting to be recognized a bit by the locals after having been in the region for two years and change. It doesn’t hurt to have a charismatic and outspoken wife, either.

9592 – Friday

Went to hospital for a gut – check – Doc gave me meds, and prescribed an Upper GI / sonogram. Digestive tract is treating me mean – but now I have some meds to tide me over. Sonogram tomorrow, Upper GI next week. Also got Allergy shots today, since I was in the area, and work told me that I didn’t have to come in.

Stopped at the  library – got boom blox for the wii- cute, but not a purchase. one night was enough.

BHK made some tasty soup! pot pie squares (noodles), broccolii, cabbage, peas, carrots, celery veggie "beef" stock. really good.

To make up for a lack of content – have a picture of Newton sunning in the window, watching the starlings outside

Still feeling gut-lousy – went to the dentist for a followup. Dreamt unhappily that I was lost in the mall, BHK took off in the Love cube, and I had to climb a giant couch to make it outside. BHK had a nightmare about me power-washing the kitchen, and her in it, too.

Had a calzone – not sure if it helped or not, but it’s the first really palpable food substance in days.

Started reading The 13 and 1/2 lives of Captain Bluebear about 100 pages in, and I’m enjoying it quite a bit. It has a Munchausen vibe to it that I dig.

Beware the 13th!

Sick as a very sick dog. Got as far as the Metro station, and turned around and went home as I started hacking like a plague victim. BHK spun me around and home we went. Coughing due to infection blended with poor lungs in the bitter cold and firewood smoke, I think.

Slept most of the day. Ate some noodle soup, saltines, and a lot of ginger ale.

Eyes too tired to read – drained the Tivo remaining Dr. Who episodes. I liked the evil "shadow monster in the library planet" episode – fun, goofy, but spooky and sad, too.

Happy Birthday to Kat (and 3 years of journaling!)

Today, I got my shots, and BHK visited the doc for chest pains-  turned out to be muscle-related… knot in her back radiated out to the rib area. Knot is fading considerably now, thankfully.

This afternoon, BHK and I finished Happiness of the Khatkuris, and The Dunwich horror – both were much better than I’d hoped, for totally different but similar reasons. "Bad" horror flicks, that were fun to watch, mostly because BHK was in the room with me while we lounged on the couch and ate chocolate cookies.

After the movie-fest, it was off to Selby with the in-laws – Not bad, but not the best – lots of new folks there – owners out, so the quality was a bit under par, but still good.

BHK got her big warm coat for our trip to Punxy – she’ll be toasty warm while we’re there now, I’ll wager.

I got to skip shots today! BHK and I pretty much just took it easy. We watched a good bit of TV – The first and second "Librarian" movies – cute for made for TNT flicks. We still have the third on the recorder. I also watched an episode of Freakylinks – forgot how inspired by Blair Witch the show was. I may or may not watch the remaining episodes, depending on how much shaky-cam film style I can take.

Ear ache is really rough today, but the compresses improve matters a *lot*.

Pictures are of a model house burning down at the local motorcylce store’s train display (the same one with the squirrels) – not to woory – this model is designed to look like it’s burning down, complete with smoke and lights.

9568 – Friday.

Only 360ish days until 2010. I wonder what people will do for crazy new years glasses for 2011? no more double zero years for eye holes until 2020!

Danny’s Birthday Today… and one month until I turn 40. Kat’s Birthday is speeding up in about a week or so, too, and Duncan-Dad Shaun’s B’day is the end of this month.

Lets see – today – Early Morning – Amy heads home – the dog bite on her arm is too infected, and she’s worried about properly treating it. I think it’ll be ok, but I can understand having concerns.

I get an emergency visit to the dentist – turns out my earache was the result of my crown – too high, and my jaw was adjusting to make it fit properly while I slept. TMJ turned into an ear infection. warm compresses and antibiotics should fix it soon. (I hope!)

After the dentist, I hit the doc’s – got some ear drops to relieve the head pain, and looked into some treatment for some of the other issues I’ve been having. Got some new meds for that, and a consult to see some specialists in the area. We’ll see how it goes, I’m hopeful. I should’ve just done my allergy shots today… but I guess that doesn’t matter, since I’m to every other week now.

Jaw is painful, but not terrible. I guess that’s one way to prevent overindulgence during the holidays!

Hap-Pye New(t) Year!

Something I post at the top of every new year, and I appreciate the words more with every additional trip around the sun.

Love is
is not rude,
it is not self seeking,
it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices in truth.
It always protects,
always trusts,
always hopes,
always perseveres.

-1 Corinthians 13:5&6

453 entries in 2008. (417 in ‘07,618 in ’06, 975 in ’05, 716 in ’04)

At this rate, I’ll break 10,000 entries by this time next year… of course, some entries are beefier than others.. I’ve been cheating a bit with the picture posts – still haven’t done a breakdown of my holiday loot yet!

But for now, a recap of recent history –

BHK took Amy to Urgent care last night, as her dog bite was getting more infected – worried about swelling and red marks. While they were at the doc’s, Shaun and I played Easter Island (I won!), and watched Bones on TV with my in-laws. The girls got back about 45 minutes later, and Amy’s wound was freshly cleaned and re-wrapped with gauze.

After the ball dropped, the in-laws headed off, and the rest of us played witch trial into the wee hours. (BHK took that one, but Amy wasn’t far behind. I really thought I would win! d’oh!)

Amy, Shaun W, BHK, the in-laws and I rose at about 10am, (after staying up until 3ish) and headed off to Gina’s Cantina for a nibble on some tasty brunch. No sign of Tyson or Gina, but the food was tasty and abundant, as usual.

BHK napped a bit and then did some work while Amy & I play Lego star wars / Mario Land 8 on the wii for about 4 hours. I feel pretty guilty about that – I wish we had another controller, or could have played something amongst the three of us.

Amy grew concerned about her issue – BHK went out to get some fresh bandages for her, and if she doesn’t feel significantly better by tomorrow morning, she’ll probably head home.

My earache also started kicking up – could not eat dinner tonight as it hurt to chew. Going to the doc tomorrow, so my appointment timing is good.
