Over the weekend, I had at least a dozen visitors to my diary who arrived through my Salamander entry of 6 May 2002 entitled “New apartments, turtle tanks and work” because they were using a search engine looking for key words “turtle tanks”. I have no idea what gives here, but I strongly suspect that…
January 27, 1967. I was ten years old. I was one of those geek kids who was completely enamored with the space program. These were the days when they still wheeled the big television set into the classroom so we could watch take-offs and landings. On this day I was in the living room, laying…
Today I return to the workaday grind. It pains me to admit it, but this is almost a relief after the last two days of conference. I did have a good time attending the conference, but it had much more to do with the people I saw than the lectures I attended. Wednesday morning we…
I’m rather betwixt and between today. I don’t know if it’s the residual aura from yesterday still clinging to me or if I’m still sleep deprived, but I’m walking through the day in a haze. I even called one of my coworkers (whom I know well) by the wrong name. Whatever the reason, my coefficient…
I feel pretty lousy at the moment. I’m just back from getting the paracentesis done, and my abdoment is very crampy and sensitive. Today we broke my all-time high, set two and a half weeks ago at 8.125 liters. Today we drained 9.4 liters off of me. Let’s see – 9.4 liters is approximately 9.4…
Well, I’m alot closer now to what I was originally hoping for in the Palimpsest decor department. I really wanted to go with something more tan, but tweaking in some yellow makes the contrast better, and makes things easier to read. I probably won’t stop tweaking, but I am going to give it a rest…
I’m trying out a new comment board so people can have the instant gratification of leaving comments once again. I’m also playing with the look – this is much closer to what I want, but I’m not yet satisfied. I’m having a grand time rearraging the virutual furniture though.
Yes! I got the paracentesis rescheduled for Monday, 10:00. I suspect I’ll be a bit miserable this weekend, but at least I won’t be mistaken for escaped hippopatamus when I arrive at the hospital next week for my appointment. I’ll be glad to get this taken care of. I just wish the results were more…
There’s a relatively new diarist afoot, and one who has captured my interest. Check out Derna’s Fund Raising Diary Her plans have trapped my attention, my admiration and my jealousy. I’m going to try and do a little fundraising at work for her. Lord knows, the Girl Scout Cookie Mothers, and the Daffodils for Cancer…
