Back to Work! Didn’t kill the beard for now, but it’s still pretty close to the face. Not quite the "wild man from borneo"

I think I bit my lip while sleeping the other night – probably the ear thing again. Pain is mostly gone now, just a little irritant here and again.

Looks like snow outside – very gray day.

My jaw still looks a little out of whack and swollen… but it’s a lot better than before.

After work, BHK and I had Chinese food with In-laws, and discussed birthday plans for me – BHK has an idea for us to go to Puxatawney, PA for Groundhog’s day –

a few links for me to peruse before the trip – http://www.punxsutawney.com/calendar/ and http://www.groundhog.org

It’ll be the 123rd anniversary of the event – and my first time there, though I’ve wanted to go for some time.

Item of note – Phil’s Birthday Celebration, Punxsutawney Community Center, Peterson Room, Come and celebrate your February 2nd birthday Phil’s way. Cake and punch served. Free gift with proof of birth date.

Zonking out early .. poor BHK has had too much holiday excitement, I tihnk!

Caught a bit up on work today – warming up for tomorrow and this week. I guess the Winter Holidays are over, at least until 1/20 (day off for the inauguration).

I seem to be doing a bit better today – still a drop in appetite, but the jaw is feeling less like a stab in the ear-hole with a sharp stick.

Shaun, Jay, and Duncan come over for pasta & broccoli, and we hang out until I need to hit the sack. It’s a school night! We chitty chatted for a long while and Duncan was very gentle with the kitties.

Until later, dear journal- Happy sleeps!

I got to skip shots today! BHK and I pretty much just took it easy. We watched a good bit of TV – The first and second "Librarian" movies – cute for made for TNT flicks. We still have the third on the recorder. I also watched an episode of Freakylinks – forgot how inspired by Blair Witch the show was. I may or may not watch the remaining episodes, depending on how much shaky-cam film style I can take.

Ear ache is really rough today, but the compresses improve matters a *lot*.

Pictures are of a model house burning down at the local motorcylce store’s train display (the same one with the squirrels) – not to woory – this model is designed to look like it’s burning down, complete with smoke and lights.

Only 360ish days until 2010. I wonder what people will do for crazy new years glasses for 2011? no more double zero years for eye holes until 2020!

Danny’s Birthday Today… and one month until I turn 40. Kat’s Birthday is speeding up in about a week or so, too, and Duncan-Dad Shaun’s B’day is the end of this month.

Lets see – today – Early Morning – Amy heads home – the dog bite on her arm is too infected, and she’s worried about properly treating it. I think it’ll be ok, but I can understand having concerns.

I get an emergency visit to the dentist – turns out my earache was the result of my crown – too high, and my jaw was adjusting to make it fit properly while I slept. TMJ turned into an ear infection. warm compresses and antibiotics should fix it soon. (I hope!)

After the dentist, I hit the doc’s – got some ear drops to relieve the head pain, and looked into some treatment for some of the other issues I’ve been having. Got some new meds for that, and a consult to see some specialists in the area. We’ll see how it goes, I’m hopeful. I should’ve just done my allergy shots today… but I guess that doesn’t matter, since I’m to every other week now.

Jaw is painful, but not terrible. I guess that’s one way to prevent overindulgence during the holidays!

9567 – And with a new day… a new year begins.

Leave a comment

Hap-Pye New(t) Year!

Something I post at the top of every new year, and I appreciate the words more with every additional trip around the sun.

Love is
is not rude,
it is not self seeking,
it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices in truth.
It always protects,
always trusts,
always hopes,
always perseveres.

-1 Corinthians 13:5&6

453 entries in 2008. (417 in ‘07,618 in ’06, 975 in ’05, 716 in ’04)

At this rate, I’ll break 10,000 entries by this time next year… of course, some entries are beefier than others.. I’ve been cheating a bit with the picture posts – still haven’t done a breakdown of my holiday loot yet!

But for now, a recap of recent history –

BHK took Amy to Urgent care last night, as her dog bite was getting more infected – worried about swelling and red marks. While they were at the doc’s, Shaun and I played Easter Island (I won!), and watched Bones on TV with my in-laws. The girls got back about 45 minutes later, and Amy’s wound was freshly cleaned and re-wrapped with gauze.

After the ball dropped, the in-laws headed off, and the rest of us played witch trial into the wee hours. (BHK took that one, but Amy wasn’t far behind. I really thought I would win! d’oh!)

Amy, Shaun W, BHK, the in-laws and I rose at about 10am, (after staying up until 3ish) and headed off to Gina’s Cantina for a nibble on some tasty brunch. No sign of Tyson or Gina, but the food was tasty and abundant, as usual.

BHK napped a bit and then did some work while Amy & I play Lego star wars / Mario Land 8 on the wii for about 4 hours. I feel pretty guilty about that – I wish we had another controller, or could have played something amongst the three of us.

Amy grew concerned about her issue – BHK went out to get some fresh bandages for her, and if she doesn’t feel significantly better by tomorrow morning, she’ll probably head home.

My earache also started kicking up – could not eat dinner tonight as it hurt to chew. Going to the doc tomorrow, so my appointment timing is good.

9556 – Sunday

Leave a comment

Newt and Pye have been together for 2 years now. They’ve blended well. They aren’t too aggressive with one another, though they do play rough.

Got an earache last night, I think it’s an infection via the crown. Contacted Dr. Wolf, we’ll see what he advises.

Went to the in-laws this morning (well, about noontime) for some Breakfast – Larry Poached some eggs, and grilled up some bacon, Chris made crab salad. All served on Xmas English muffins. (Do they call muffins something else in England, and "English muffins" just muffins?)

After eating, we watched Superhero move and I got a call from the Momster – our holiday goodies arrived in her mailbox yesterday. Superhero Movie was Basically a parody of Spider-man, plus a few cameos and Leslie Neilson nonsense.

Larry showed me how to make Preacher cookies – chocolate/oatmeal goodies, with no flour in ’em. Closer to Fudge than a cookie, really.

Good stuff – I’ve got to practice making these, I think… they’re easy, but are good eats.

BHK and I headed home early for some rest – watch some old Christmas episodes of night Court and Wings – I pretty much just Vegged out all weekend.

I’m looking forward to a nice long winter’s nap after Tuesday – Vacation (but on-call) from 12/24-01/04!

A few items need to be worked on – biggest ones are file comparing encryption, getting a slacker customer to get on the new system from the old (before the old shuts down totally)  and a system map of our network that is up to date.

Maybe a little vitamin B-12 will pick me up. Until later, dear journal!
