Morning all! It’s going to be a hot one today, so Maggie Wonderbeagle and I are going to the dogpark.
For everyone who wants a gay boyfriend/wife/auxiliary husband, it reminds me of a line from my favorite song:
I need a vacation from my life
Me and my husband we need a wife
Somebody who’s sole ambition is laundry
bobbio, you could start a new tradition: Burning Man East.
good luck to Taters and Tatersmom. My mom had breast cancer 5 years ago. She had a lumpectomy, and they even let her keep her hair.
Mawnin! Gonna be another hot one here…well, it IS Flawduh, so, DER!!!
Please spare some of the good wishis for my dad. He’s been in a lot of spinal pain the last couple of weeks which is “probably” arthritic in nature. The pain med from his doctor just isn’t working and he has lost all strength and a lot of weight. He’s going back to the doc today so everybody please send good vibes.
kai and meeks, thanks for the nice words. :o
I don’t want a wife. Current husband fits the bill to a T, thankewveddymuch. Does everything I ask him and then some. I am very lucky.
I got two nice compliments last night: someone complimented my hair, saying it looked “so beautiful down”, and then a young Indian man left some other customers at the Indian store to come over and serve me, and then gave me such a longing look on the way out the door.
It was nice.
In other news I bought the game Syberia last night; it’s only $19.99 and I desperately miss those adventure-style games. Wanna go home and play it.
The doctor has told me that typing does not cause carpal tunnel, which I know is true because I read it on the interweb. Nevertheless, I’m scheduled for an EMG on September 5, and until then I’ve got a bunch of sample-packs of Celebrex (won’t last me until anywhere near September 5), and instructions to take a break every hour at work and stretch my hands and wrists. Yeah. Because I haven’t been doing that since it started hurting, or anything. And a suggestion not to wear my wrist braces unless I plan to be doing heavy lifting.
As a result, I’ve been at work 40 minutes, actually working (not training somebody else who is thicker than a McDonald’s milkshake–remember the training I was doing about two months ago? Same person, same job, still training.) Where was I? Oh yeah. At work 40 minutes, actually working about 15, wrists and forearms already starting to hurt. I’m going to spend an hour or so telling myself it’s all in my head, and see how that works out. :mad:
Oh, and prayers to those needin’, happys to family members with birthdays, and an echo of the booby-squishing imperative. I should probably do that sometime soon, myself. But I’ll wait until a doctor tells me too–I’m a masochist, but not that much of one.
Oy–we are not ok over here. #1 son tried everything last noc to get out of soccer–even tears. He doesn’t like to run. Ok, but the more he resists, the more I am convinced that he needs to do this–not soccer perhaps, but some physical activity.
I can’t help but think that this has been coming for a long time. He has spent the summer, staying up until 0300, on WoW, and sleeping until noon. Reality bites, but his summer of anomie is over.
I sound bitchy–but I am not. I truly feel for him. He is anxious about looking “weak” in front of the coach and guys (god, I hate macho shit), and seriously worried that he cannot run fast enough. (they jog around the field, nothing is timed). He needs to learn this. We are being supportive and low key with him, but sticking to our guns. He can barely walk today, and is now at soccer practice. He probably hates us, but it’s for his own good (and now I am officially my mother).
I think for the first time (for all of us), #1 son has not been able to charm his way out of something that he finds distasteful. Give me strength–it’s been a long time coming.
Sorry to natter on about this-but it is on my mind.
In other news, I cannot link onto my LIVE (practice) session for my online class. Should I worry? (gaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh).
Hugs to rigs. I think you’re doing the right thing.
Ellen, he’s adorable.
I’m waiting for first rise to finish. I’m doing three types of grainy bread, and one white with rosemary, feta, cheddar, and black pepper. I’m keeping that one.
