Feeling better today. Physical Therapy seems to be working out some of the back issues, thankfully. Mentally and physically in a more positive place – also, sundown was at 4:45 today. I certainly suspect that I don’t have Seasonal Affective Disorder. I think that the dark and cold weather mostly suits me, even if I try to be a warm and cheery sort of person.

After PT we went to Mexico for supper. I was perversely hungry for Mexican food after seeing a filthy Mexican resaurtant on Kitchen Nightmares yesterday. The food was superb – BHK and I both sussed out that it was the cook that sometimes works in Lusby on the kitchen tonight.

My mom met Shannon and her possible granddaughter – (well, by proxy – Shannon is still pregnant, due in a month or so.) I’m still not sure how that’s going to pan out.

Newt is really enjoying the ledge in the loft these days… one of the warmest spots in the house! I hope he shares with Pye, at least a bit. Hm.. somehow I doubt it. Interesting that his winter coat is a bit more visible than usual – likely that he and Pye were running around pretty heavily before naptime.

Physical Therapy today. Leg lifts, stretches, bicycle, and then the stim/heat combo that works so well for me. I needed it – I was really stiff yesterday.

Forgot to mention yesterday that Chris and Larry brought over a couple of preacher cookies for us… much better than the last batch a year ago – see archive below.

While I was fixing BHK’s machine, I was multitasking a bit – catching up with scripting, listening to old episodes of Dragnet in the background – The radio show is really superior to the TV series. Additionally – I listened a bit to some of my old time radio broadcasts. OTRcat sent me a nice collection of Richard Diamond not too long ago in exchange for a link on my website – the clarity on them was excellent, especially given that the condition of the original recordings must’ve been a real problem to fix. I’ll be looking to go back to him for more OTR goodies as time goes by. Dick Powell is no slouch as a voice actor, and I’m really pretty glad to have my collection filled out. (5 CDs worth of stuff, I’ve only begun to begin to listen. (I’m thinking about getting the Edgar Allan Poe Collection next – maybe for road trips through Baltimore)

Today I spent most of the day inside – cold out there, and my back is tricking up. I’m glad tomorrow is physical therapy! BHK and the inlaws did some yardwork in the chill while I did repairs in the heat, with the kitties inside.

Speaking of the kitties, I dreamt that we were in the green truck, returning form taking Newton and Pye somewhere – I had just off-loaded Newt in the house, when the truck drove off – Someone had made off with the vehicle and Pye! … it made it about a block and a half before BHK and I caught up with it – turned out that Pye was driving, a la Toonces. I was dumbfounded, but BHK just snatched him up and brought him inside the house, scolding him fiercely. I remember looking at the cabin of the truck, and trying to muddle out how he accomplished it – BHK was more interested in telling him "NO! BAD KITTY! You’re too young to drive!"(and this is true, as he is only 4.)

Picture taken on the way home last night – Christmas is in the air, already. Normally, I like to wait until after thanksgiving, but I love the more basic stuff… Lit up trees and misty nights.

and for the David Deboy fans out there – Crabs for Christmas.

I spent some time fixing BHK’s laptop – the boot volume was toasted somehow. Fortunately, it was just a job for chkdsk /r and a little patience for the cleanup.

After the folks left, bhk made a mighty salad – garbonzos, spinache, cabbage, and whatever other good things in the house (pumpkin seeds and meatless baco-things on mine!), served with some beans and rice for bulk. It felt really good.

Randomly found archive pics of newton and a smidgen of Pye on the upstairs pyecam – BHK’s system took a little nosedive today, and while waiting for me to come home to fix it, delved into the cam server to see what’s been happening. 🙂

Of course, now is as good a time as any to check ’em both out – as of this writing, Newt is on Pyecam, and Pye is on Newtcam, as usual.

Left work a bit early today to hit up physical therapy. Got some ultrasound, heat and electrical stim work done.

I think heat and stim combined are the most beneficial to me right now. I’ll likely go back to using the TENS box at home more frequently.

The exercises seem to be more beneficial – leg stretches, pelvic tilts, and some mild hip twists. – I did them when I got home, and I feel pretty good about it – let’s see how I feel with morning tightness in play. I’m a little concerned about how taut my back is going to be upon waking tomorrow – I’m pretty worn out, and will likely hit the sack shortly. I’m going to continue doing the yoga and just add to my nightly workout.

Watched Big Bang Theory, while eating a nice dose of leftover cabbage soup a la BHK and buttered bread knots – good stuff, perfect for a briskly chilly night. The cats are sure to be in bed with us this evening for the whole of the night, despite Newt and Pye’s evening house-run marathon habit.

Today was a good day, all told. My trepidation about going back to PT is fairly unwarranted, thus far.

long day today, but soon I’ll be in my sanctuary, with bhk, newt and pye to bring me comfort and good cheer. my head is filled with bits and bobs of loose ends that need tidying up… but each frayed string is being woven back into the greater tapestry of the projects involved. it seems that the silly, niggling things expend the most energy… that and pure entropy are the tricky time suckers, while the guts of deep thought seem to fit easily. go figure.

Another *busybusy* day at work, but eased when I got home – BHK made supper of the remainder of the sloppy joe mix became taco salad fodder, with a side of veggie taquitos. Good stuff… BHK and I watched the Vampire Ventriloquist’s Dummy episode of Middleman – the show continues to shine. Venture brother’s first half was pretty spiffy, too.

Other things that brought cheer – seeing these kitty pictures in the archive… both were taken at the same time – both kitties sucking up as much sunlight as they could hold. Newt was totally whited out, and pye looks very comfy on the purple couch.

The nice folks at NPR have done us all a favor and taken some used Kinoki foot pads to be tested to see if they’d drawn anything out of a guinea pig reporter’s body. Guess what? They didn’t.

Reporter Sarah Varney bought some Kinoki foot pads and wore them to bed. She also subjected her husband to the (alleged) detox treatment. In the morning, they both awoke to the stinky brown mess that the advertisement had promised. Not convinced that the brown stuff had actually come from their bodies, our hero took the foot pads to a lab and had them analyzed and compared with unused pads.

“Compared to the blank that’s almost identical,” said the scientists. “It looks like three of the same sample, basically.”

A doctor from UC Berkeley confirms the scam diagnoses. Your body already eliminates “metabolic waste” and “toxins” through, um, other means…

“For many hundreds of thousands of years we’ve been successfully eliminating them through the usual means, which is urine and feces, and there has been no demonstrated need to accelerate that.”

So what is all that gunk in the pad? We’re not really sure, but it shows up if you hold the pad over a pot of boiling water. Who knew distilled water had “metabolic waste”?

I neglected to mention that the love cube (our Honda element) is now repaired… they replaced the whole hood – BHK think that it may be from a different model, and she might be right. I haven’t seen any good photos of 2006 vs other element hoods online yet, but we’ll get to the bottom of it, if it requires us to go to a car lot somewhere and look in person.

Last night at about 5:30ish, there was a storm that knocked out power to both Chesapeake Beach and North Beach… not to mention the surrounding towns, too. No juice means no oven, and since I was still dressed from work, I figured it’d be nice to take BHK out to dinner, seeing as she’s been craving meatballs all day. We tried Ledos, Asia Cafe and Mama Lucia’s north to no avail.. apparently everyone else had the same idea about eating out… even mexico was too mobbed, so we continued onwards to Mama Lucia’s south – The service was a bit on the weak side until BHK politely asked the waitress (while I was washing my hands in the men’s room) . Service improved after that…. we got home and both towns were still dark, save for places with generators.

I used the flashlight on my key chain to get us inside, and we lit a few rechargeable candle-style lamps for some ambient light. We have access to a lot of battery-powered light – cell phones, pda, laptops, flashlights… I think we could go days without running totally out of lamp-juice. That said – I want to recharge the candle-lights, since we hadn’t done them fully beforehand.The emergency flashlight and radio lit up the bathroom area nicely as a night lite – we opened the bedroom windows and went to bed, hoping that the heat wouldn’t be too bad… it wasn’t… but poor BHK didn’t sleep very well… I was snoring big time, as the CPAP runs on juice, too. Next time, I’ll bring the UPS from the computer room in to run it.

So, power was restored at about 2am this morning, and we were all able to get an hour or two’s rest before it was time for me to get up and get rolling to work. I hope to catch a little nap sometime tomorrow in order to try and catch up.

Today is Chris and Larry’s 33rd wedding anniversary, and plans are to hit Selby Sub Shop for a nice little nosh. We’ve got to pick up a lemon meringue pie and sneakily get it past the parental guards.

Newton sunning upstairs on Pyecam – he loves going up there from about the time I leave the house to midday, when the sun has passed, and the heat-beam has shifted.

Tooth is definitely damaged – filling and tooth itself have pulled apart, and the tooth portion is loose. we’ll see what happens tomorrow. Pain is ok – still only at medium headache level.

BHK and I have really gotten into following the blogs of a few WUSA9’s folks – Kim Martucci and Angie Goff, specifically. They’re trapped in a horrible blogging software called pluck, but once past that, it’s really fun to see folks that are brand new at the whole on-line journal thing… and puts a more interactive and social face on folks you normally only get to see in a one-way medium of TV. I’ve mentioned both Kim and Angie before once or twice, and they both seem to be swell people.

Oh My Goff! –Emmy award winner Angie Goff profiled me, the kitties and Alan & JC’s pup Chae on her blog entry today ! (Picture here from the entry… eek and awesome. BHK is going to tease me mercilessly – She’d better watch it, or she’ll get She-Ra’ed.) The WUSA9 team all have blogs it seems, and the bulk of them are very entertaining!

Called Dr. Wolfe – cracked my back tooth, the one with the composite filling. I’m taking antibiotics starting tonight, and I’ll be seeing him in a week for a fix-up. It only hurt a wee bit yesterday, but has progressed to headache level annoyance now. I wonder if the tooth will come out of my noggin before thursday… it feels a bit loose.

Maryland Renaissance Fest is coming up. I figure we’ll go again, probably for one weekend, this time to just people watch, if nothing else. Scottish Weekend might be fun.

Got a postcard from the bro. He sounds better when he’s sobered up. I’ll be writing him sometime between tomorrow night and this weekend. It breaks my heart every time I think of him… I thought I was mostly over it, but I’m really still fairly tender about it at times. If luck enters the picture, maybe he’ll get some good, solid treatment, but I won’t get my hopes up.

His arraignment was supposed to have been on Monday – I wonder how long before public records will give me follow-up info? He’s got a calendar call on 9/2/08 – I guess I’ll know more then.

I am so thankful that today is Friday… I’m ready for a weekend. Lots of hustling around, getting ducks in a row, lately at work.

Dagwood night! BHK sneakily added Bethesda, MD -centric Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants to Netflix, and I suspect that’ll be what we watch, rather than Machine Girl, given that the in-laws are coming over… It also seems that she bumped up Introducing the Dwights, which I’m actually fairly interested in seeing.

The longer I wait to see Indiana Jones 4, the less I even want to see it. My mind will likely be changed once it gets viewed.

Sandwich for me – Veggie Sub -fried eggplant and provolone, on fresh Italian bread. Yum.

Pye still seems to prefer to appear on Newtcam… and Newt lingers a lot in Pyecam‘s window. Go figure.

9364 – Sunday – Adam’s Birthday!

July 20, 2008 scottobear Leave a comment

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ADAM!!

BHK managed to grease Adam’s nose, with a minimum of struggle. total surprise. We watched The Seeker: The Dark is Rising -(not bad, but seemed more than a little “Mary Sue“-ish, even for a fantasy movie. Christopher Eccleston was totally misused in the film. I know he can act, I’ve seen it.) and re-watched National Treasure 2. (BHK and Adam really like the sequel… while I like the first, the second fell a bit flat for me…. I am looking forward to the next one.)

Chips and dip, Hot dogs and corn on the cob for all, with a confetti-birthday cake, yellow cake with whipped white icing and sprinkles. It was devoured before a photograph could be recorded. I fear we may soon grow weary of hot dogs, but I’m doing OK so far. In-laws left at about 6, and Adam at 7. We hit the sack pretty early again tonight.. need to recharge the batteries for tomorrow.

We gave Adam coupons for his birthday, as we couldn’t find anything his size that was something special.

Coupons included:

1 use – Get out of being nagged by BHK Free. (He almost had to use it re: cigar smoking on special occasions.)
Hug from Pyewacket (renewable)
Headbutt from Newt (renewable)
1 full tank of gas (please to use before it gets higher than $10 a gallon, and no more than 18 gallons – (his car holds 12))
Girl advice from either a girl (BHK) or a Boy (me) or both – he is not obligated to take said advice.
free trip to the drive in
free pizza night!
emergency help, anytime he needs it.

Watched the last episodes of New Amsterdam – I can almost see where they got the cancellation notice, and decided to stop effort in the writing. and Burn Notice Psych are both coming back in the summer (this week and next, I think), so I figure that Amsterdam would’ve fallen out of rotation, anyhow.

Caught another 10-20 of Duck, you Sucker (Or A Fist Full of Dynamite), (158 minutes!) – I don’t know if I could sit through it all in one sitting. I like spaghetti westerns, but this one is best taken in smaller doses.

New desk in the office – BHK and I went through more sweat than we needed to put it in and install it – my fault on that. But, we’ve got it in and it looks to be a good, sturdy bit of furniture. Slightly different angle on Newtcam now, but I’ll work out the particulars of that later on. Seems like the cam suffered a little bit in transition – I can’t get auto-tilt to work now, nor does the mic want to pick up. I still need to reactivate Pyecam – it’s been sleeping for the last week or so.

Pinched my back and had a monster headache, so I slept a bit, and read some of the Planet Hulk hardcover I got from the library. I’m blessed by the fact that there’s a comic book guy working at our local branch, and he hooks me up with just about anything I might like. He’s been on the money more often than not, thus far!

The holiday was 4 days long, but it went by swiftly. Lots of junk food and time consumed at a mammoth rate. I’m going to hav eot be a bit better about that sort of thing in the future… first things first, clean up the office desk and then a MWF walking schedule.
