Off to bed!

It's almost 2am but I'm caught up with the night's viewing schedule. I watched a bit of the baseball game and it got me sidetracked. By the way, it's good to know that the Phillies didn't totally forget how to find and cross homeplate.

I was really expecting the Amazing Race to have a non-elimination leg this week. As a result, I was surprised when the last team to finish was told to scoot. It's too bad 'cause they were not one of the teams I was hoping would bite the dust. However in the preview for next week, they show that the football guy finally tells off his wife. It's about time---she's very annoying!

Anyway, it's time for me to go to bed 'cause I have to get up a couple of hours early. Work is going to start at 7am instead of 9am and 19 mice are seeing their last day. Sorry, mice. If it was up to me you'd have another week. I'm not going to name names here, but somebody got impatient and that means the mice and I are meeting early this morning---and for the last time. :-(


Update: It's 2:30pm and there's 19 less mice around. We'll know in a few days if their contribution to science will bear any fruit though final results won't be in for a few weeks. Let me know if you want to see pictures. :-)

I got in bed about 11:30, but didn't sleep well, so I know how you feel. Yawn! I'm hoping to catch a few minutes of rest before my 2 year old wakes up....

Maybe the mice chewed through your phone cord - oh wait, you don't have a phone cord...

Re the Amazing Race - I really dislike the football player/separated wife team. My favorite is still the mom/son team - the other teams aren't very likable.

Actually, Judy, I'm a serial mouse murderer. I didn't stop at just one.

I usually like the brother/sister team also but she can be a bit mean at times. I usually like the Mom/son team but not always.

Pictures of dead mice? I didn't even want to see the live ones!

Baseball has been messing with my TV viewing also, but hopefully that problem will be resolved after tonight. We are expecting showers against tonight though, so it could be a long game or rescheduled for tomorrow....

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?
