Beware the Ides of February!!

0215091058.jpg

Nice walkies today - cool outside, saw a couple of new neighborhood cats (as well as a few of the regulars) - There are more than a few local houses with ship's figureheads on them - one on the boardwalk puzzles me a bit, as I think they look better at the tip or meeting of two corners, rather than on a flat surface.

Stopped by the post office - a letter from insurance says I have fibromyalgia , but my doctor hasn't said anything to me about it. Put me in a bit of a foul mood for a while - stewed in my own juices for a bit, but have since recovered. Giving the situation a name hasn't really helped with finding a repair situation, and I suspect that calling it such will cause more than a few people to dismiss it like folks do with ADD, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or the like. It is one of those things that is hard ot diagnose, and is likely over-diagnosed. I'm not going to assume anything until we can go over more facts.

Tonight, the in-laws came back over and we watched the remainder of Lost in Austen. To be honest, it was off to a weak start, but was more entertaining in the 2nd half. After that polished off, a little Top Gear helped to elevate the rapidly diminishing testosterone volume. Looks like they're back on track with the fun goofy stuff, and not so much straight car reviews. I prefer the weird challenges any day.

scottobear: (Monday!)
Some tummy trouble this morning, and the ol' back is acting up a smidgen, too. Body did not want to get out of bed this morning, but the brain made it so.

Newt was late coming to bed last night, I tossed and turned quite a bit.

Long day, this Monday. Old picture to represent the vibe from back in the day, in Fort Lauderdale, heading out in the morning. I haven't done any panoramic pix in a while... maybe on walkabout this long weekend?

Just some nutshelling - Let's see:

Trimmed back down to goatee.

Wasn't feeling too well today. Got up at 8, went back to bed at noon, slept until 2.

BHK and I stayed in most of the day, save for a trip to the library and then to Roland's to get spaghetti for tonight's dinner. (Which was super tasty)

Chris was a bachelorette tonight, so she came over had dinner and watched NCIS with us.

After she left, we watched some Mr. Meaty left over from the marathon on Nick a week ago - The show consistently gets a good laugh or two our of me every time.

Speaking of TV - I forgot to mention that we watched the Superbowl - actually quite a good game - I really loved that 100yd snatch and grab. BHK and I still prefer the Puppy Bowl (and the kitten halftime show).

- another meme - pass it around if you want! I'm interested in what other people put. I think I found it first via Kat, or maybe Misti

Got my Upper GI done - will know more in 24-48 hours. A shot of fizzy pop rocks with a Barium/chalk milkshake chaser to take pictures of my plumbing.

It's official, despite morning nausea, moodiness and dry heaves, I'm not pregnant.

This morning, when I got up - I saw my shadow, much like Punxy Phil.

After the doc, we went to have lunch at cheeburger cheeburger and then see Taken. Not bad for a fluffy "gimme back my daughter immediately or I'll kill everyone in my way and take her back" sort of flick. spoiler, they didn't give his daughter back immediately.

Pic of me squinting into the sun. Figured I should document my 40th b'day for posterity.

Taken on Walkabout with BHK - beautiful day - it's like spring outside. I hear snow is coming for my birthday, though.

Went to The Narrows with the in-laws and BHK for birthday lunch. Crab cake was great, possibly the best I've had - and the desserts were fantastic.

White chocolate mousse in a dark chocolate bag - Butterfly and raspberry sauce.

Bread pudding... seems awful fancy for a simple treat!

Also, taken yesterday - looks like the 80s are back in fashion, at least at Target.
0130091959.jpg

We picked up my EEE at target too and upon finding it was the version with less memory and no camera, took it back today. I ordered the 904HA online (in black), due to arrive on or about 2/9 - the new one will have better battery life and the goodies I was hoping for.]

Was feeling pretty sick on the ride home - I went to bed at about 5 pm, woke up a little while ago, but will be going back to sleep soon.

scottobear: (out-of-whack)
Fasted since 8pm last night through this morning - got my sonogram done, but I have to reschedule my upper GI. I got copies for myself, may photograph 'em, and show images of my spleen / liver and assorted guts as shown by echo. The technician was unimpressed when I asked if I was having a boy or a girl.... probably has heard it a million times.

Possible issues could be gastritis, ulcer, gallstones, kidney stones, or the all-encompassing "OTHER".

BHK made some scones - blueberry/ginger and maple/oatmeal/pecan. Both were quite good, but contrary to my usual, I'll have to go with the maple being just slightly superior to the blueberry ones.

Spent part of the day playing Fallout 3 on the PC, and BHK played more Boom Blox on the Wii.

The Element has some issues - likely due to the tree falling on it back in June. It seems that the Frame is bent, and that's causing a lot of wear on the tires. instead of being | | they skew slightly like this / \ . Insurance is resistant to taking care of it, since it's been a while, but we're trying to get it ironed out - looks like about $1000 to $3000 to repair, so I may not be going to Punxy next weekend - Due to both the cost, and the time it will take to repair the love cube.

The in-laws took us out to Selby bay - I'm still eating light, but I could do a 1/2 veggie sub and fries.

I forgot to mention that the grocery lady Patricia asked me where my "nutty wife" was - BHK got a kick out of it, and I'm starting to be recognized a bit by the locals after having been in the region for two years and change. It doesn't hurt to have a charismatic and outspoken wife, either.

Went to hospital for a gut - check - Doc gave me meds, and prescribed an Upper GI / sonogram. Digestive tract is treating me mean - but now I have some meds to tide me over. Sonogram tomorrow, Upper GI next week. Also got Allergy shots today, since I was in the area, and work told me that I didn't have to come in.

Stopped at the  library - got boom blox for the wii- cute, but not a purchase. one night was enough.

BHK made some tasty soup! pot pie squares (noodles), broccolii, cabbage, peas, carrots, celery veggie "beef" stock. really good.

To make up for a lack of content - have a picture of Newton sunning in the window, watching the starlings outside
