bad weekend

*whew* This has been a bad weekend for me. I've been kinda sorta sick the whole time. I don't know if it's a mild cold or really bad allergies (my girlfriend got another cat--this makes 4!--so I might be reacting to it) but in either case I just don't feel good.

As a result I've been doing a lot of sleeping and reading but not much else. Ren and I replaced a wall switch that had stopped working --it controls the fluroescent lights in the kitchen-- but that's the only project we bothered with.

I only watched half the UNC / Florida State game 'cause I was so tired that I kept falling asleep. Sad. UNC won the game (84 v 58) and I really wish I'd seen more of it. Zzzzzzzz...

I've been the same for about 3 days, Dave. Mr. kenju and I both have it, although he is coughing his innards up and I am just headachy and stuffed-up.

Hope you feel better soon.

I have 7 cats at my parent's home. I have two cats at the home that I share with Paul.

I love my cats.

:)

I'm sorry that you are so allergic. They can be so sweet sometimes.

I hear you, Teresa. By Tuesday morning I felt better. I'm pretty sure it was something in the house that was making me feel sick though I don't know if it was the cats or not.

The mild weather and the damp weather has helped the mold explode. Apparently the cold winter helps kill it back and we haven't had that. It also hasn't done much to kick back the flea population either... great outlook for the summer.

My sinuses can't take the back and forth really warm, really cold business. But then they have been messed up with exposure to pine pollen and 25 years of formaldehyde.

Feel better.

I hope you're all better now (I know, I'm slow...)

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?
