I have just TKO’d my digestive tract for him. He wanted ham and lentil pilaf for dinner. Easy stuff. I got the pilaf going (straight out of a box, boys and girls – no fuss, no muss), got the ham slices that I had cut from the Christmas ham my company gave me (yes, there…

Don’t get me wrong. I love the new furniture. I love having new furniture. I am ecstatic about having something comfortable to sit on in the living room. But oh, how I mourn the loss of my computer cubby. Not that it was all that secluded from the rest of the room, but it was…

This was going to be an entry on ototoxicity, but I saw while catching up on my diaries that ADM already did this entry, and better than I would have. His entry has a nice link to a site that lists known ototoxins, so make sure you check it out. I can only offer a…

I spent a good hunk of yesterday evening listening to different internet radio stations. I was in a mood to listen to music while The Prof was out teaching his night class, but I didn’t want to listen to anything tried and true. I might live near a major metropolitan area, but most of the…

I knew that I’ve been a little graphics intense recently, but I’ve been blissfully unaware it was giving dial-uppers conniptions. I’ve been intending to figure out how to use thumbnails, and it looks like I’ll be doing that before my next entry. If I can, I’ll go back and replace some of the more graphics…

Survival. I guess that’s what it’s all about. I just have to figure out if I still have a pulse at this point. I got almost no sleep Sunday night. I kept waking up, worrying about how Monday was going to go. I had visions of National Geographic showing up unannounced on my doorstep Monday…

I guess it’s like Gremlins. Don’t get them wet. The new sofa and loveseat arrived … not only on time, but ten minutes early. Warrior Princess has taken to it. Clueless Wonder wanders hopelessly around it, looking for his old, familiar territory. Sorry babe, gotta go with progress. ACfH is locked in the bathroom so…

Went to the Younger Sister’s last night (by invitation). Elder Sister was there too … and she’s started smoking again. That’s a big disappointment, but it’s ultimately up to her to quit. She went outside to smoke, which I appreciated. Between the maple trees opening this weekend, the last of the bronchitis, and my asthma…

I had to cheat with “thorn” this time … it wasn’t in the set, and I couldn’t figure a way out around it. ░░░▒▒▒▓▓▓▒▒▒░░░ deceived by the beauty of my words I am cut by the garden bloom why do I only see the thorns after I have celebrated the rose ░░░▒▒▒▓▓▓▒▒▒░░░

I know Fridays are supposed to be a good thing, but they really don’t count until quitting time, and I’m a long way from there it seems. First of all – thanks for your comment yesterday ADM. It forces me to re-evaluate how I look at a few things. I’m going to chew over your…
