Got epidural (ouch.), appointment with cardio, met with back doc, got spore, Mexican food and maggie moo's.




Wal-mart drew the last straw, and is now on the official boycott list - poor service plus bad business practices in the pharmacy.

While BHK was reading bergdorf blonds, I played spore - somehow I can't use the critter I created in the demo creator in a spore game -still investigating why that is.

Went grocery shopping - Cranberry sierra mist is back and I  got creme de menthe altoids - sad to see the mandarin orange mist gone.

As for walkies - we've laid out a reward plan - we have a bundle of space-critter buttons, and for each goal, we get an additional "merit badge" - after we get up to distance, it'll be repetition. My goal is 5 miles a walk, three walks a week.

So far -

5 badges each--earned

1 after 5x 1 mile walks---Allison got a space piggy, Scott got a red astro-kitty

2 after 4x 2 mile walks

3 after 3x 3 mile walks

4 after 2x 4 mile walks

5 after 1x 5 miles walk!

Recent walkies

Sat - 8/23/08 -1.5968  addl -~1.2mi (total =2.7641 counting whole day )

Tues - Today - Before going to the doc - 9/9/08 2.0234 miles

Walkabout pics - mostly flowers, fruit/berries and birds along the view from the boardwalk - I really like the little red star flowers - forgive the repetition, dear journal - trying out aspects of macro and zoom.

Spoke to Brittney about getting serum ready for Saturday, and maybe an EKG at the same time. *please* let it be ready - this'll be the third week out. I think it's likely that we'll get some this go 'round.

Keep us posted on how spore works out for you.

It looks interesting, but the system requirements are pretty steep.

I have all those things, just not in the same computer...

Spore is running pretty smoothly on our system, but it has been beefed up ram and video-card wise pretty recently.

I've got gobs of memory in all my computers, so that's not an issue.

My desktop has a borderline video card that I wouldn't mind replacing, but is getting a bit long in the tooth processor wise. And my laptop (much newer) has a pretty decent processor, but crap for video because it was never meant to play games and such.

I couldn't find the requirements for the Creature Creator listed anywhere. Do you know if they're similar? That way I can grab that and see if it works first...

NVM, I found the ones for Creature creator. They're close enough I'll give the full game a shot if it works.

owie back shots are no fun! but if they help the pain they are worth it. I hope they give you some relief. What's the problemo with your back? I know you've had surgery before but I don't remember the injury.
mom had 4 facet joints done the last time in L4 and L5 on the right and left sides. Scary thing is she refuses any and all medication to make it less painful because she doesn't want anything on top of the meds she's already taking funking up her bum liver.
the doctors thinks she's a freak of nature, but she says the pain from that is nothing compared to the back pain she's already having.

I've got a few herniated disk issues - it does hurt - but the prednisone is helping. I was told that I couldn't do too much of it either - for similar liver reasons.

your mama is mighty, no doubt about it!
