I woke up this morning.
It's snowing.
Again.
Moderately heavy.
I'm going back to bed.
-
Flurries for tonight and tomorrow, but it's supposed to warm up. I need more coffee.
-
Already been to work for 2+ hours. Still need more coffee. Really want to go back to bed.
-
Two hour delay for school today. Still coldish outside, but no new snow.
I've decided I HATE this time of year. I get so overly emotional. I understand it in my mind, but it doesn't help the rest of me. And then something minorly major happens to stir emotions and I can't handle it at all. Total suckage. Have spent more of the last 24 hours crying and feeling crappy than I care to claim.
-
Chance of rain today. Work has become very busy due to people being shuffled around, and I'm still on crutches so I can't carry anything which makes me feel inefficient. Really, I don't expect anything too exciting to happen today.
-
Two Doctor's Appointments today. Hopefully, some good results will come of these. One is for the MRI I took last week of my abdomen and the other in re: my spine issues. F'n Yayyy....... :(

Nothing exciting, huh?
How YOU 'doin? :naughty:

Sun is out and it's supposed to warm up to 43. Several inches of snow is still on the ground, so it's really pretty out.
Possibility of rain/sleet/snow tonight.....
Things are pretty quiet around here.....very unusual for a Monday...
-
I should never make chocolate chip/pecan cookies..... :thatsright:
-
Beautiful morning here...I watched the sun rise. Crisp, around 20, big moon in the west. Glad I was up.

Are half of them gone? :-)
I'm fryin' up a mess of chicken. Yum.

Same here now. :banghead:
It was supposed to end at 3:00, now the esteemed weather people say it'll end at 4:00. We're only supposed to get one inch, but I suppose that's code for 12 inches.
-
I'm all set for snow for another year. Once is enough.

I heard it was quite nasty. Glad you survived it, Chris.

It wasn't bad around here... half a foot at most. Other areas got hit worse.
I've been at home for the last three days enjoying a short vacation, so I've only had to go out in it once. It was kinda fun.

It must be nice for a change of pace every seven years or so. :-)
When I was in college, we got maybe 2 inches in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, and they closed school for two days. No equipment to treat the snow/ice.

I decided to forego getting this last wisdom tooth extracted/chiseled/air-hammered out of my head. Too many people telling me, "yeah, I had that done and my chin/lower gum/tongue/lips were numb for two years."
Eff that. I'm a brass player. I need my chops. :shame: :nunchuck:
-
Damn, sorry Eupher. That's rotten.
No teeth problems here... my brother had a nasty experience with a lousy dentist once. I won't repeat that story again.

Thanks, Chris. It's not really so bad. This last impacted wisdom tooth just flares up and acts stupid a couple times a year or so. In a week or so it quiets down and behaves.
I was afraid that it was still trying to get room to pop up, but the oral surgeon said no, not the case.
He spent more time talking about the risks, i.e., the shit that can go wrong, than he did the procedure.
I should've had this done when I was a young pup. I waited too damned long. :bawl:

I had three of the four wisdom teeth removed. The fourth one was coming in a little sideways. The tooth next to it got yanked, so now the wisdom tooth is coming in fine, so far.
Definitely surgery on my spine, starting with my neck. I need to get a CT scan done with contrast dye for some reason and then surgery will get scheduled. The abdomen thing is still up in the air. :clueless: More tests..... maybe some sort of scope thing to look at the pancreatic duct. :???:

We worked in the yard all day yesterday. We haven't planted anything yet but just from cutting down over grown mexican heather (we cut it back almost to the ground), trimming the crepe myrtles, raking all the leaves out of the beds and cleaning out the gutters it already looks a TON better.
We also dug up a ton of african lilies and split the clumps up and replanted some and just sat the rest in the back yard under a tree. I'm going to replant them in the next couple of days (they will be fine for a couple of days). But now I think we should have replanted more than we did in the original spot as it looks a bit thin there now. I think I will plant a few more back where we dug them up from.
My FB friends already know this but I washed a chapstick in the wash and it went through a whole dryer cycle. It melted on the clothes. :thatsright: Some people on my FB swore by the Tide Stain Releaser so I stopped at the store on the way home from picking up my daughter from school and bought some. I'll report back and let you all know if it worked. :p
Oh I go to the orthopedic surgeon tomorrow to discuss the EMG and nerve test I had the beginning of January and to talk about the surgery. I am quite nervous about having the surgery now (I believe it is a tendon transfer). The doctor who performed the tests told me that some people are really glad they had it done while others really wish they didn't.

That is some serious stuff there Thor. When will you have the surgery on your spine?

Nothing is worse than tooth pain (well except extreme back pain). Having an infected tooth can affect your health as a whole Eupher.

The tooth isn't infected, BEG. It just hurts from time to time (about every 6 months it rears up). The oral surgeon pretty much confirmed that.
I guess I'll just deal with it. I'm not gonna let him chisel that tooth out and run the risk (however slight) of screwing up that nerve that runs down my jaw line. I like euphin' too damned much.

The Tide Stain Releaser worked. :)

Many years ago, circa 1988, my ex-wife washed a few white things together. Mainly, my summer white uniforms and some white sweater she liked to wear. In the pocket of the sweater, she had left a tube of some flavor of red lipstick. She then dried the washed clothes. She pulled them out and saw what she had done. When I got home, she informed me that she had ruined a set of hard to replace uniforms (I was in Minneapolis and had to mail order all of my uniform items). I told he to put some Tide on the lipstick marks and rub it in, then let it sit for a while and then wash them. Tide removed 99% of the lipstick stains and my uniforms were once again wearable. There was one barely noticeable little "pink" mark on the collar and that was it. She was amazed.

Pink. Lipstick. Collar.
Must. Not. Comment.

Actually I spoke too soon Flame. I put it directly on the shirt I was most upset about (I bought the liquid because you can use it as a spot treatment as well, I also put it in the wash as stated on the bottle) and I took it out of the dryer before it was dry. The spots of chapstick are gone from that shirt but the other t-shirts that I dried all the way still have spots. I also put it directly on my most favorite t-shirt of all that had what I think was an oil stain from Italian dressing that had been on the shirt FOREVER. The stain came out of that shirt as well.
So I put the stain releaser on each of the spots on the other shirts and I'm getting ready to rewash after my towels are done. I will update again after that load goes through the washer again.

And I thought it was bad enough having to go up to Port Hueneme. Then again, CNT's were incredibly easy to clean.

Yes, fortunately. And these were CNTs. They were the only practical summer white uniform to own.
Ohhh, and Eupher....... shshhhhhh........ :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:
