Happy Spring!

Sproing!

Newtie was extra snugglesome last evening. Maybe because I brushed my teeth so soon before bed. (usually I hit the sack an hour or two after brushies… last night is was brush and plop)

I’m wearing socks. If I’m going to be wearing shoes to work daily, I’d better get some more socks. (I only own 3 pair.) Usually, the only time I wear ’em is to fancy dress occaisions, like weddings, funerals or court.

It hurt my sciatica to put on my left sock… I’m going to mention that to Kev when I get in today. It’s on now, so I’ll wear ’em today. I can sit crosslegged, but being a giant, I have to stretch my leg considerably to make the foot reach my hands. I’ve got long arms and legs.

Appointment for my X-ray is tomorrow at 10:45am. Let’s hope they’re speedier than my pokey doc. I’ve noticed that I have trouble wiggling the toes on my left foot, and there is some numbness across the top.

Gear on today – Black birkenstock shoes (time for me to get some he-clogs.)

Khaki pants, medum brown socks with some tan shot through, green & cream plaid shirt, hair in a low pony. forest green hair tie. The boxers match the shirt.

Nighty night… I’m cool. got my blankie, my kitty, and love in my heart. 🙂

time to have some sweet dreams, after a nice toof brushie and face washie.

happy sleeps to all, and to all a good night.

Going in to work today, shortly. foggy dreams last night. I got into an arguement with Astley regarding his duty…I finally got him to take some responsibility for the bad hardware he gave me…hopefully he’ll give me a refund. It’s only been a year.

For some reasony my avango doesn’t want to synch, so I’m having a little trouble posting from my palm. I may copy it into a memo, and post it in later, if it continues to be troublesome.

Newt’s going to be lonely today… he’s gotten used to me being available to him 24/7 for play and snugs. I know that when I get home he’s going to be very lovey, certainly. Hes laying on my foot right now, having a midday nap. I’m going to miss him at work today, too. I need to remember to get him more food, too…about 2 days more left.

“little house, a new beginning?” is on… Weird… I forget that they spun the show off to focus on Laura & Almonzo’s married life. It’s on TBS right now. I don’t remember the Nellie replacement, either, “Nancy”, some other nasty little blonde Oleson girl.

Ah well, I’m off. there’s my ride. until tonight, dear journal.

Thoughts of Red-furred Libras will get me through the day. 🙂 You know that list? I’m going to use it to write a few memory posts of what spawned certain titles, later tonight or tomorrow. I encourage other folks to do the same with theirs. 🙂

You is big an’ nobody knows whut yer doin’ there. Skeeter hit his head on you once, and feels invisible bugs on his arms and face alla time now. Little kids think you’re fun, but growed-ups are a-feared of you.

Totally unrelated, cool bunker here.

whee!

the poem tag project has really taken off. If you’ve made a tag, and it’s not mentioned there, let him know, and he’ll link you up. (I’ve been monitoring traffic, and that entry has been getting a boatload of hits.) If you haven’t yet, what are you waiting for? the concept is a hoot.

full report on my doctor trip is in my palm… as soon as I synch it, you’ll get the long story. the abridged version, I waited 4 hours, will be going back to work tomorrow, and scheduled an xray appointment.

ok. I called for my ride to get to my 10:30 appointment at 9:30. I called back at 9:45, 10am, and just now.

This is the downside of calling a cab, and not having a friend available to drive at this hour. I imagine that the clown that got my call is “stacking”, illegally using a modified meter and tracker to take more than one call at a time. the thing they don’t know is that when you call back every 10 minutes or so, dispatch figures these things out, and turns off their meter for a period of 1-3 hours, depending. I’m guessing that I’ve shut of two such drives this morning, and that gives me some satisfaction… however, I need to be at the doctor’s in 15 minutes, and it’s a 10 minute drive.

Waiting for my ride to take me into the docs… had a fairly easy morning this morn, a good sign!

I go to the doctor tomorrow morning. let’s hope that the wait isn’t as long as last time around. I’ll discuss with him the prescription difficulties, too.

My back only really tweaks up in the morning here and there now. Hopefully, this means I can go in, get a MRI to peek, just in case, and get back on the work wagon on Tuesday. I’m tired of being stuck in the house, and of being worried about projects due.

hearing about “embedded chip” technology, a chip implant that’ll store information about you, like medical or security. Uh, no. Not for me. Maybe for Newt, if he gets lost, but there is precious little that would get me to get a bit of harware installed in my body for information purposes. I’ll carry an ID card, no problem… but something about being that trackable is upsetting to me.

*note to self, get mailing stuff together to drop at the PO after the doctors.

Newt cracks me up…we’re playing army-man fetch, and he’s really into it… bounding all over the place, and hauling after tossed plastic soldiers at top speed. he’s running so fast that when he returns them to me, he sort of runs past, and just lets go of the toy and is in the other room before it hits the ground at my feet.

solution to piracy sound-bite. “make it easier to buy than it is to steal.” I tend to agree with that.

ack… polls no longer support images. drat!

*sending my sweetheart thoughts of love, comfort and key lime pie*

Discovered Digital neigbors… much better than Local Yahoo. It helped me to dig up more local information on Pompano, Lusby, Holbrook, Bellingham, and North Bend. some of the links are dead ends (non-tiger maplinks pulled by advertisers), but the rest of the info is quite nifty. I got longitude and latitudes of the above cities, so I can track stuff on my palm astronomy program more accurately. I can see what the sky looks like in any of those places quick and easy, now.

I wish I’d found the Pompano info before I went on vacation… a better list of local stuff, save for the Hurricane coaster.

On an unrelated note… Wonder Woman was far more spiffy when she cruised around in a voice-activated, remote-controlled & telepathically summoned invisible plane (and later, jet). Just flying, any superhero can do. Tooling around in a transparent F-16 is cool, man. Even if it’s tricky to read the invisible altimeter and fuel buttons. Weirdly, everyone aboard stays visible, so you see a sitting pilot hanging in midair.
