So windy yesterday and today, that the windows in the building are creaking… sounds like a ship at sea. One of my coworkers claims that she can feel the building move.. I’m not that sensitive to motion – the tower seems pretty dang sturdy to me.
Somehow I doubt this will happen here any time soon, let alone this. Sakes… was Wilma two years ago, already?
We’ve been pretty fortunate, storm-wise lately. One Ice storm on Valentine’s Day… what more reason do you need to stay…

BHK picked me up from work, rather than have me take the Metro home… That shaved 2 hours off of my commute – more quality time with the Missus. We stopped off at *$ for cocoa, and then grabbed a little California Tortilla for take home… watched open season with the in-laws and then played a little classic mario bros before retiring.

The Doodleboard in my website’s toybox is getting a little activity again.. I dig the two newest pix.
Odd that my wordpress backup journal has already gotten a half dozen spam-hits (all removed by akismet before publishing.) just random gibberish, no links or anything.
Christmas reminder.. Santa’s Pals, not so sinister elf-replaced Black Pete and the sinister Krampus. (More Krampus here ! – Found while Searching for James Ensor… Belgium’s Famous Painter. )

back to work….feeling better enough to get to where I need to go. Got my Secret Santa Assignment. Not picking it up tonight, but soon. Today started slow going, but hourly stretches are helping a lot. Not so bad, once I showered and headed out the door. No drugs stronger than ibuprofen until I got home… have to stay sharp while on the job.

Spent the day pretty much on my back or in a chair, semi-stupefied by painkillers. I seem to do better when I’m moving around a little bit… after 8 hours in bed, getting up first thing in the morning can be quite difficult, at best. After making my way to the shower, I loosened up considerably.
Watched some TV and played some Wii… that’s about all. We started to watch The Number 23, but we sacked it 35 minutes in. No point in wasting any more time… the thing just couldn’t take off…

If you look at the “things in jars” link in Kevin’s post, you might be sorry. I’m not. Lore also put me on to The Superest –
The Superest is a continually running game of My Team, Your Team. The rules are simple:
Player 1 draws a character with a power. Player 2 then draws a character whose power cancels the power of that previous character. Repeat.
best read from the very beginning.

Looks like permanent accounts will still be good, at least for the moment. Still, LJ-archive is handy, in case a person wants to jump ship with comments and links intact… or Blog2Blog, if they don’t mind losing comments while sliding from point to point.
Speaking of Easter Decorations at Christmastime (well, I was, yesterday) Looks like Melting Bunny is making the rounds. Waste of a perfectly good trio of chocolate bunnies, if you ask me, dear journal.

Nice morning, until I got out of bed, and pulled my back. At that point, I was in extreme pain and after much shrieking and frightening BHK, I took a shower to loosen up a little bit and went to urgent care. I’d say it took me about 45 minutes to work out how to walk from bed to the shower…the pain was pretty significant. Agony is a good word, that sounds about right.
Needless to say, I missed my allergy shots. I get to call on Monday to see what I can do about rescheduling.
After…

I’m officially a year into Maryland. It surely doesn’t seem that long. I haven’t ventured outside of the immediate region of MD / DC / VA since then. I’d like to do a deeper tour of outer-edge day trip plans. Places like Philadelphia, Boston and New York aren’t too far out for a little getaway. BHK and I still plan on taking a little journey through a bit of American history by way of National Treasure… possibly taking Adam along if he would like and has the time.
I’ve been to the Natural…
