Saturday

I've not been sleeping well for over a week now. I think it's largely related to work and the issues I was airing out on June 2 here on my blog. Sinus stuff is also contributing but I think it's mostly work. As a result of the lack of sleep, today was a "Bed Day". I didn't go to bed until around 3am Saturday morning and got up at 4:30am but I never gave up. By 1pm I think I had gotten at least 6 hours of sleep by going back to bed at least 4 times.

I feel a lot better though I'm sleepy again. Between taking pictures of bees, flowers, and an occasional ant plus watching the Braves for a while and then seeing the Carolina Hurricanes go down to a close defeat (2-1) in a hard fought and quite engaging hockey game against the Edmonton Oilers I managed to stay awake the rest of the day. Now it's a bit past midnight and I should get back to sleep! Eventually.

I finally finished the last 20 pages of the Misquoting Jesus book I mentioned the other day and now I've started a new book. It's sort of a chick-lit book so I'll let you know if it has any effect on testosterone levels. I don't have all that much to spare so I might have to back off on the book.

The book is titled Tickled Pink and shows some promise. It's a pretty book and I took some pictures of it to demonstrate that, but those will have to wait until tomorrow. I'm going to go to bed to read a bit then go to sleep. More or less.

Since Becky skipped you I thought I would stop by!

It seems like this no sleeping thing must be contagious. Taping shows is a good idea-I do own lots and lots of DVDs (I have obsessive-compulsive-DVD-buying-disorder) to watch, but now I am thinking that replacing infomercials with great hockey games could be fun...

It still amazes me that in my home state of NC, they're playing hockey in June, when the only ice to be found then is in tea! I love the picture at the top of your blog--beautiful. here from Michele's.

Michele sent me to say "Gusuri nemute ne!" (Sleep well and deeply). I laughed at the chick-lit comment too.

Nitroflex at home

Image
I mentioned a few days ago that I'd purchased off of Craig's List an exercise machine. A Nitroflex, to be more specific, for the grand sum of $75. The boxes you see to the left were bought by the seller as discontinued merchandise over a year ago and stored in his back yard storage shed. You might be able to see some of the bugs and such that had made their homes on these boxes. I left them out on my deck for a few days before opening them to allow the insects to leave gracefully or die in the sun. The picture to the left is the pieces from the box, unboxed, and up in one of my upstairs bedrooms. For the most part it wasn't difficult to move it around though two pieces were heavy and a number of them were kinda long and bulky to be wandering about the house with. Surprisingly, this kit didn't require any extra tools. There were two allen keys and one combo wrench included in the boxes and that was all it took to put it together. The whole thing only took about half an h...

ankle update

S ince a few people object to seeing my feet --poor misdirected souls--I have the two pictures below hidden behind links. Behold them at your own risk! *evil laugh* Actually they're not scary though the first one is a little colorful. T he first picture shows my ankle and foot from the side, as labeled. You can see a lot of general edema of the entire foot. There's also a good bit of discoloration of the ankle area and to a lesser degree the top of the foot all the way down to the toes. The side view is a lot worse in this regard than the top view. T he second picture shows the two feet from the top so you can compare the somewhat normal looking right foot to the injured left foot. There's not much abnormal color on this view but you can see the "sausage like" swelling of the left foot. It's this swelling that is causing my main problem--I can't get the foot into my boots and I need the boots to support the ankle. Damn Catch-22. Side view, looking inward ...

Ostrich poop found here

Image
I took these pictures last Fall while visiting the NC Zoo. On the left you can see what appears to be a nice polite ostrich just wandering around. This impression soon turns out to be false when her dowdy tail feathers raise up and reveal a puckered anus. Ewwww! If you look carefully, you can see that she's made a deposit on the ground. More ewwww! Feel free to click on the image to make them bigger. Details can make all the difference in these shots. In other matters, aren't those really bony legs they have? And couldn't they have a little more color?
