12 giugno Odds and EndsTrying out a new font...we'll see...
I stayed home from work today. I've been consitantly, and unexplainibly, tired for 2 weeks or so. This week I've been reduced to going to bed before the sun goes down - @ 8:30 or 9pm. Sad. Then Mr. Sore Throat appeared, followed soon by his best friend, Deep Cough. So, I stayed home and rested. Maybe God got a cold on Day 6, so he rested?
Sometime this afternoon I went to put a mid-size Gatorade bottle into the fridge. And, instead, dropped it on my right big toe. That moment between impact and "pain" is really awkward. Just enough time to think, maybe it won't hurt. Then pain hits and you are left to deal.
In today's test, I remained frozen in place for another second. And flashed back to when I was a kid and dropped a peanut butter jar on the same right big toe. It wasn't the pain, but the resulting doctor's visit, treatment - a toenail-ectomy - and prognosis of living a year waiting for a new toenail to emerge. Which it did. Thankfully. Only to be cut every so often because it's too long. Ironic, don't you think? 24 dicembre Christmas Eve UpdateI broke down and used a more primitive version of Alexander Graham Bell's invention...the telephone...to call and speak to the Church office. Services are 5:30 & 10:30pm. Dinner with the immediate family (sans my wonderful British niece) in Texas City @ 6pm. "It's A Wonderful Life" starts at 7pm!!...although, I bought it on DVD this year, just in case I miss it. Depending on the order of events, I should be able to make it back to the island to Church service, sing "Silent Night" by candlelight, and home in time to watch a bit of "A Christmas Story" before heading off to bed.
Wake up call is early to get back to TC to watch the great nephews open gifts --- apparently around 7am!! Let's just hope the older one -- who is now calling me "Uncle Mojo" -- hasn't already torn through all the packages in his devilish assumption that everything is for him!! God bless the greedy little kid.
Happy Anniversary of the WWI Christmas Truce (Western Front, Christmas Eve 1914)
-d 26 luglio FluffOccassionally, I take notice of something, usually something that makes me think "WTF??" ...and then, I will continue to notice it over and over again.
A few weeks ago I noticed one of the usually "hot" women in the building was wearing her hair differently. Being a guy, I wouldn't normally notice, unless it actually makes the person physically repulsive.
Lemme try to describe it...start with all your hair down, then make a part along both temples. take all the hair in the middle, pull it back and pin it. If you want, you can even add a hump to it and spray it. The result being, humpback ponytail. I have NO IDEA how these seems like a good style, but it's like a 20-year-old female version of a combover. Seems like there was a dinosaur who had a big fin on top of their heads...that's the look. Bottle-nose dolphins?
Seriously? I see them everywhere now!!! I don't understand!!!!!!...WHY???? |
