9592 – Friday

Went to hospital for a gut – check – Doc gave me meds, and prescribed an Upper GI / sonogram. Digestive tract is treating me mean – but now I have some meds to tide me over. Sonogram tomorrow, Upper GI next week. Also got Allergy shots today, since I was in the area, and work told me that I didn’t have to come in.

Stopped at the  library – got boom blox for the wii- cute, but not a purchase. one night was enough.

BHK made some tasty soup! pot pie squares (noodles), broccolii, cabbage, peas, carrots, celery veggie "beef" stock. really good.

To make up for a lack of content – have a picture of Newton sunning in the window, watching the starlings outside

9591 – Thursday

BHK brought the element in for an alignment at the dealer today. Mechanical issue, it turns out. Insurance should cover it, but it has to be looked over first.

The moon was orbiting pretty close tonight, I nearly banged my head on it. My gut is still out of whack – I may have to go to the doctor tomorrow if this keeps up. Cereal and Milk for dinner – that should soothe a bit.

Pye, birdwatching this morning, as we left the house.

Self-portrait taken at midday today, with a tiny self-portrait inside the phone.
I think I look odd here – overhead lights, I guess. I’ve lost a little weight, but still working on it.
Note the dueling scar just between cheekbone and beard.

I have an irrational fear of post-getting a tattoo – I figure that as soon as I get one, I’ll accidentally scar my body in a way as to make the design appear torn or crooked.

That said, I don’t know what sort of tattoo I’d ever get.

9590 – Writer’s Block: Open Arms

Yes, I last hugged a stranger… at the end of Fight Club, at the movie theater. I held out my arms, and they moved in for the hug, so it was not a surprise. ( I do have a build not unlike Meat Loaf / Bob)

That’s one of the things I miss about hanging out with the wonderful hippie gang in South Florida – Hugs were plentiful, warm, and never forced both with new friends and old. Geotarget Geotarget

9589 – Wednesday

Back to Work -workworkwork – played catch-up for missing Monday. I was tired to begin with, and now, end of day, I’m dead tired.

Randy Rogers off to work with M.A.D.D. – good for him! I hope the rest of the crew get as good a break as he did.

I dreamt the other day that we adopted all the stray kitties in town, and BHK named the orange one with white feet "Bagel". The other cats didn’t have names, but Bagel was extra naughty – knocking over anything that was knock-over-a-ble.

We loved him (her?) anyway. BHK hollered "BAYYYYYY-GULLLLLLL" every so often when he was acting up.

After work, we did the once a week night ritual of soda and scratch-offs –  no money was won, but we did locate ome tasty chips to go with dinner from subway.

BHK took the Element in to have the tires replaced, but there was trouble with aligning it – She’s bringing it to the dealer tomorrow, to see what the situation is.

Watched a little Gordon Ramsay and Doctor Who, and now we’re off to bed.
