The hurrier I go, the behinder I get. How in the world did I ever let a week elapse without making an entry? Granted, this diary was never intended to be a daily menu of menus, weather and bowel movements. What I wanted was a way to chronicle my activities so I’d have a record…

I have no idea how other players manage to rack up scores in excess of 60,000. Since downloading Snood the highest score I’ve been able to achieve is 34,685, and that is after 12,928 games. That’s been since June 17th, 2001. I’m thinking maybe I’ve just hit some sort of plateau, but at least I…

I seem to be going through one of my insomnia cycles again. I had hoped this would disappear when I got my replacement liver, but it seems I am not to be so fortunate. I did get a rather good score on Snood last night, but I’d rather have gotten some sleep instead. This weekend…

I was cruising through MoonriddenGirl’s diary this evening and discovered a series of rather fun links related to people’s names. The random name generator she linked to rechristened me “Leala Lindsay”. Leala? I’m not sure about that. It sounds like some made-up name from a really bad science fiction movie. The list of top three…

When the good news starts, it just keeps going. I got a phone call this morning from the transplant unit. I get to halve my steroid dose (10 mgs SID down to 5 mgs SID) and my antirejection drug gets cut from 8 mgs BID down to 5 mgs BID. These are the two drugs…

The Socialist had to take me downtown for check-up number 5 at Big City Hospital this morning. Hard to believe, but it’s been eight weeks now since I got the new liver, and I’ve been home for six weeks. Today’s landmark decisions to come out of the follow-up: – I get to drop two of…

I got a killer headache around 9:00 last night, so I gave up, took the single Tylenol I’m permitted a day, and crawled into bed early. I woke at midnight with the headache mostly gone and feeling guilty. I had promised The Socialist that I’d watch some of the Babylons with him when he got…

OK, did Kitten pose for this garden ornament or what? Unfortunately, poor Kitten had the smug wiped off her face this afternoon, when the apartment maintenance guys showed up to fix the toilet in the master bedroom and work on one of the bedroom doors so it would close properly (when it gets humid the…

*sigh* I keep forgetting that this site works on Greenwich Time. I forget that when I make evening entries tomorrow’s date comes up. The entry before this should have been dated for the seventh, but it appears I messed up yet again. You’d think after two years I’d get the hang of this, but apprently…

Actually, I suppose the title should have been “Slow down, Speed Racer!” I had my cardiologist appointment today for my tachycardia (excessively fast heart rate). My sisters and The Socialist were unable to take me, so a friend from work did the honors. I may have stated in prior ramblings that I against minivans on…
