It is 5 am and I am up and out of bed…in pain. I have just had it with this sciatica or whatever it is. I’m able to sleep for 4-5 hours and then it starts throbbing and wakes me up. Today it is so bad that I took a vicodin. I’m hopeful it will […]

Don’t put clearance items on your wedding wish list. I got onto the Kohl’s website on Sunday night where my nephew and his fiancee are registered to take care of ordering their wedding gift. I logged on around 10 pm, thinking it would only take me about 1/2 hour to place the order. Two hours […]

Once again I’ve been hit with the last minute tax returns. I keep thinking it won’t happen this year, but it always does. Still have to send in my return and Patrick’s, but at least they are both completed and just need to be printed and mailed/e-filed. Will finish that part up this weekend and […]

Arrived back home tonight around 7 pm. How nice it was to have my car waiting at the airport and being able to drive home rather than waiting for a shuttle…and then waiting while same shuttle dropped off 4-5 people on the way to my house. And the cost for parking was less than what […]

Tomorrow is the big day when I get to see Robin again! My bag is packed and I only need to run a few errands tomorrow morning and I’ll be ready to go. Patrick is taking Murphy to his place in the evenings and will bring him over here during the day. The cats don’t […]

So much has been going on and I don’t know where to start. Some things may be out of chronological order as a result. Oh well. The funeral for Vanessa’s mom took place last Tuesday. It was a beautiful service and lots of Vanessa’s friends and family were there. After the service at the cemetery […]

Last night I met Veronica’s parents for the first time. They are here visiting over the Easter holidays. I went to Patrick and Veronica’s apartment for dinner with all of them. Dinner was great and they are fabulous people. We chatted for a few hours and I’m looking forward to having all of them over […]

Vanessa’s mother died on Thursday. (http://www.nessahead.com/archives/75) She had cancer and was in pretty bad shape the past few weeks, so it was not unexpected. Nonetheless, it was a very sad day for Vanessa and her family. Death is never an easy thing, even when you know the person has been suffering with a terrible disease […]

I’ve just got to get my shit together soon. Seems as though the last few weeks/months have flown by and I’ve done nothing. All these medical/dental problems have resulted in too much vicodin and too little accomplished. I’m finally off the pills and have a stockpile (80+) of vicodin remaining! My shoulder still hurts a […]

The Daily Show is very boring when it’s a rerun of Hillary on the night before last week’s primaries in Ohio and Texas. Somehow the jokes just aren’t funny the second time around. I have come to the conclusion, however, that Hillary’s cheeks are soon going to explode from her permanent huge grin. Those puffy […]

You know what they say about things happening in three’s. Well I just had my #3 yesterday. It started a month or so ago, when I went to the hospital with chest pains that wound up being due to stress. Then there was the shoulder pain a few weeks ago due primarily to tendinitis. And […]

Happy 33, Kevin! Hope you’re having a good one in San Diego and that your business colleagues are helping you celebrate in style. At least you should be enjoying some nice warm and dry weather.

Somehow I can’t get as excited about a Hillary vs McCain presidential campaign. I’ve been seeing so many young people paying lots of attention to this campaign and being very supportive of Barack Obama. I’m starting to get worried after tonight’s election returns. We’ll see what happens, but I don’t look for Obama to do […]

Calcific Tendonitis, Bicipital Tendonitis, and Frozen Shoulder. It took awhile to get it, but that’s the diagnosis for my shoulder pain. I went to see my regular doctor yesterday. After pushing on my shoulder and having me yell out in pain, he said he was ‘pretty sure’ this wasn’t serious and wrote me a Rx […]

My shoulder is just as bad today as it was when this first started on Sunday. So I’m headed off to see my doctor later this morning. God knows how long this will take since he’ll probably send me out (across the street at the hospital) for x-rays. Then I expect him to refer me […]

Spent the evening watching the Oscars…kind of. I watched the show, just am not sure who all the winners were. Mostly because I don’t know a lot of them or the movies they were in, produced, directed, etc. As most of you know, I rarely go to movies. I might have liked a few of […]

It has been a great long weekend, but certainly not long enough. I could use more time…a lot more time! Worked in the yard a lot, cleaning up leaves (damn next door tree) and weeds. Trimmed the ice plant along the side of the house and got the front beds ready for planting. And then […]

Three full days off…yay! And the weather is supposed to be really nice, in the mid-70’s. Great weather for being outdoors. Have a few things remaining to do in the yard (not much really), but want to spend at least a few hours each day out there enjoying the weather. I’m also going to spend […]
