power

I hate people on power trips.

I have nothing else to say.

gotta get outta here...

For some reason Freddie has been snarking at Pacie far more than normal. So I'm going to work today! I'm so tired of hearing him bitch it's not even funny anymore. Boys. Stick with girls, they're much easier to work with and really only bitch when they're pissed. At that point they're usually kicking some one's ass, but a good leave it works. :)

Anyway, I watched a couple of movies yesterday and did a bunch of homework. I only have a couple of things left to do before the next week starts. :) Bonus. :)

I have no idea where I am with work stuff - I just don't remember. Today will be fun trying to figure it out. :)

I'm doing well, not in agony but can certainly tell something was done. I can't take anything but Tylenol for the next 3 months, which isn't a problem since I'm not big on taking pills in the first place. If I get a headache, my body usually just takes care of it on it's own. :)

I really don't have a hell of a lot to say! I guess I should stop procrastinating and get my ass in gear. :)

I survived...

I'm all about this new-fangled surgery. :) Nerve blocks so you don't feel a thing, no cutting or bloody messes to worry about, being awake the whole time, and getting ultrasound pictures of what's going on are pretty cool!

The nerve block has worn off now (I think the nap helped) and it doesn't hurt as much as it did before surgery - sweet! I will say that I'm not all that thrilled with the boot thing - I have to wear heels (ha! one heel really) just to even my stride. It'll be interesting, that's for sure. ;) I'll consider it successful if I don't fall on my ass more than a couple of times and hopefully not in public. :)

I haven't observed much today but that's probably due to me sleeping most of it. :) I'm about to watch yet another Johnny Depp movie (not sure which one) so I'm sure I'll have an observation after that. ;)

My cats are curled up in a yin yang pattern, each cleaning the other. It's really quite the sweet thing. :)

Ok, so I lived and hopefully I'll be better soon - it's just going to be a stupidly long month!!

rainy Monday

Before I forget, yesterday's observation was about music. I got a few Beatles CDs for Xmas, which I've been listening to non-stop. After singing along to 20+ songs, I started thinking about lyrics; specifically how many songs I could sing along to. How much brain space is taken by lyrics? Think about it, turn on your favorite station and see how many songs you can sing. Even stuff from childhood - I still know the Itsy Bitsy Spider, don't you? I can remember songs from 30 years ago, why can't I remember what I ate yesterday? Because my brain is filled with song lyrics. :) We only use a small percentage of our brain for critical thinking because the rest is just a big harddrive filled with songs!

The tourney on Saturday was good - just stupidly long. We seem to have at least one conversation that is weird, bizarre, or strange. This time, it was about the Swedish, holiday tradition of a goat that brought presents or beat you with a stick. This was apparently before Old Saint Nick came along. Hmmmm...a piece of coal or a beating, let me think. Every year they have a 30 foot goat made out of sticks they set up that "vandals" light on fire. Ummm.. ok. If I got beaten with a stick by a goat, I'd light the sucker on fire too. :)

Yesterday I visited Ellin. We went out for lunch and then watched Pirates of the Caribbean 2 while stuffing things into boards. I'd use the proper terminology but I don't know it. :) The boards are the green things that run machines - like in a computer - except these don't run a computer, they do something else. :) I enjoy it - it's like a puzzle or rolling up coins - mindless work that keeps your hands busy.

After that I helped get stuff ready for dinner, sat in front of the fire, and watched the Legend of Sleepy Hollow. It was a Johnny Depp day. :) Oh wait, every day is a Johnny Depp day! Yum. :)

Today I'm having the sound wave surgery thingy done. Fun.

I'll observe something later - I have to jet for this thingy. :)

tourney

Off to a tourney today. I have to stop at the store and pick up drinks as well as grab Steffi.

I did 10 miles on the bike last night and it felt good. :) I have to figure out a way to rig it so I can use it with whatever stupid boot I'll be tortured with for the next month.

My observation? It's been so warm flowers are getting confused! Go look, I'm sure you'll see things still alive, or new shoots, that shouldn't be around right now -- at least in New England. :)

Gotta go!
