Shopping

Kim and I went shopping tonight. Given our odd holiday schedules, we had agreed that I could buy her Xmas presents while I was here for New Year's.

I ended up buying her a sweater, 2 shirts, a pair of pants and these boots.

The boots are from 9 West and the best bargain of the night. We got such a great deal. They were on sale for $99, marked down 60% to $40 and we used a 15% off coupon to get them down to $34.

The sweater was pretty decent too. It's beautiful and was marked way, way, down to $20 and for a one-hour special some of the items were 50% off, including this sweater---so it ended up being $10. Insane price.

The shirts and pants are for work and nice and functional---but the boots and sweater are great. I love soft things and the leather uppers on those boots is like what you get on nice gloves.

PS The left boot looks like it has a white top--that was me making a mistake in Photoshop. I was making the sheets a gleaming white and mistakenly included part of a boot. Oops.

I like the boots. I don't like boots in general, but they look quite comfortable. It sounds like it was a fun shopping outing. :)

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?
