9627 – Monday
Workitty work work. Workitty work. Workitty workitty workitty work. Sounds a bit like a train on the track, clackitty clack.
Solid Day today – So much so that I snoozed a bit on the train ride home. I got a little extra time, as they were single-tracking on the green line heading toward Suitland station. I guess one was down for repairs.
Things I listened to today as I worked: Jean Shepherd (the guy that did a christmas story) , Phil Harris (Bandleader for Ol’ Jack Benny) I like that Archive.org has a built-in streaming player – I can listen on my laptop in the background while I do my thing. I should listen to Jack too, while I’m at it, but I really Like Ol’ Phil and Alice’s wedding dynamic.
Found out that a coworker of Sean’s got canned for having a wireless device (an ipod touch, I think) – The price you pay for working with certain levels of security clearances. I’ve been some places that forbid cell phones and flash drives, too – just to protect proprietary info. (In my case, it was the courthouse.) Not sure what Sean’s going to do about his entertainment, now… I guess a walkman will have to do the trick, rather than an ipod? Seems sort of stone-age given the technology corridor here.
BHK and I swung by Jerry’s for supper tonight – I got onion and green pepper pizza, she got the chicken "cheese steak" sammich. While we waited for it to cook, we swung by Giant to pick up some goodies for next supper – green beans, peas, broccoli for the noodle dish she’s got in mind… not to mention the chocolate covered bunny grahams (Easter goodies out already?? What about St. Patty’s??) and Old Bay Cheese-crackers, shaped like little crabs. Nom nom Nom.
Smoking dulls the effects of caffeine. As in, you need 3-4 times as much caffeine as a non-smoker to get the same effect. It also has the same effect on some antipsychotics – meaning smokers need a much bigger dose, and if you quit smoking while on them you’ll be overdosing. And if you start smoking while on them, you’ll be underdosing.

Cousin David is going to South Korea to Teach conversational English. I’m glad he’s heading out of Blackburg and expanding his horizons – I think he’ll dig it, and can help folks in the process.

Not much to say – I’ll part on ripple.
If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung,
Would you hear my voice come through the music,
Would you hold it near as it were your own?
Its a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken,
Perhaps they’re better left unsung.
I don’t know, don’t really care
Let there be songs to fill the air.
Ripple in still water,
When there is no pebble tossed,
Nor wind to blow.
Reach out your hand if your cup be empty,
If your cup is full may it be again,
Let it be known there is a fountain,
That was not made by the hands of men.
There is a road, no simple highway,
Between the dawn and the dark of night,
And if you go no one may follow,
That path is for your steps alone.
Ripple in still water,
When there is no pebble tossed,
Nor wind to blow.
But if you fall you fall alone,
If you should stand then who’s to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home.

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!
