This is why you don’t wake me up

Early Tuesday morning (2.30a), I got woken from a dead sleep by a ringing phone. I was still groggy, so it took me a minute to figure out what the sound was and when I did get up, the person calling hung up. I went pee and the phone rang again. I answered it and [...]

2 bits

Empath’s thumb looks very good for having cut off what he did. The bandage was the worst, trying to soak it off with warm water and hoping like hell the damn thing didn’t start bleeding again. It’s been doing fine since except for when he pulled up a pair of socks. It bled a little, [...]

Interpretation

Empath cut a hunk out of his thumb on the meat slicer at work yesterday. He  called me at 3p to tell me he was at an ER waiting for someone to see him. He came home at 6.30p with a sock bandage on his thumb and a bloody arm from the tetanus shot. He [...]

Naked lunch

The diet is going well. I’m eating a lot of turkey sandwiches though, which are tasty but it’s damn hard finding a compromise between fat and sodium. The turkey is low fat, the cheese is low sodium and the bread is riding the middle of both. I’m eating more fruit and veggies or at least [...]

Labels

Man, there’s sodium in EVERYTHING. I found 2 things without sodium – sodium free peanut butter and unsalted butter. I can’t get away from it. I’m doing my best, though I’m sick of eating raisins and raw carrots for snacks. I’m eating regular servings (as told to me by the food packages) and hope that [...]

Pokey salt

I was not happy this morning. I peed in my cup, filled it up, and stuck it in the fridge to keep until we left for a hospital. The main problem with a hospital in the day is parking. We drove around the nearest for 30 minutes, searching vainly for an empty spot. The next, [...]

What’s up, Doc?

This post was supposed to be uploaded yesterday, Sept 9, 2009, but my posting privledges were canceled.
Empath and I went to our doctor appointments this morning. The doctor took down our info about past/present health issues, then took our blood pressures. Mine was high (170/100) which I expected. I have anxiety when getting my bp [...]

European trolls

It seems I did succeed in partially blocking G, Joey, Michael, et al from commenting though they are circumventing it as trolls are want to do. They’re whining now because 1) the commenting is “broken” and 2) I posted their ISP addresses. They claim to only want peace and that this is merely a revenge [...]

Reap what you sow

The internet can be a dangerous place.
The internet can be home to little boys with nothing better to do than troll for reactions.
The Hiatus Crew, as they call themselves from Living in Oblivion, and Alice and Kev (specifically Announcement post) decided I’m their next target. Of course, they didn’t pick me out of nothing. I’ve [...]

Salmonier park

Empath and I traveled to the nature park; he drove and I played passenger. The TCH is pretty nice to drive on and I saw too many pine/spruce trees. When we drove by the Barrens (different from It), I was awestruck by all the boulders. [...]
