I haven't really updated about my life recently, mostly because I'm very boring. LOL ( Read more... )

So I took this yesterday with my cell phone camera, so the quality's not great, but to those who have seen me, you can probably tell the difference.

I took the day off to get ready for my weekend away, and as part of that 'getting ready' stuff I've been watching streaming videos from Amazon. I have Amazon Prime which include a selection of free vids. So far I've watched The Gospel of Judas, The Buddha, Human Family Tree, and a couple episodes of Walking with Prehistoric Beasts. All, by the way ( Read more... )

I hope everyone had a pleasant Spring holiday/religious observation/break of their choice. I went with my cousin to my brother's for Easter dinner, which was really nice. I'm definitely glad April is coming to a close though as I've been on Altar Guild duty during one of the busiest times of the Christian calendar. On top of the regular changing ( Read more... )

Feeling better after a weekend of feeling pretty lousy from my cold. Last year, I don't think I got any colds at all until the end of the year, and this year I've had two so far. That sucks. I skipped church yesterday, and I think that was the right choice. I actually didn't do any more than I had to this weekend. I did cook a taco casserole ( Read more... )

Ugh, football has eaten my brain. It seems like all I do anymore is watch football on tv. It doesn't help that my mom & pop cable company has expanded its line-up to include ESPN University, ESPN Classic & the NFL Network. There are a few other sports channels too, but I've mostly blocked those out. Anyway, I stayed up way too late last night ( Read more... )

Made it through the colonoscopy with flying colors. No polyps, yay! I was awake enough to watch the procedure on the monitor which is always cool. Afterwards in the recovery room, some guy got really loud and belligerent about apparently waking up during his procedure when he'd been told he wouldn't and tossing F bombs and ranting about people ( Read more... )

My Steelers lost. Fucking Ravens. Still, they're 3-1 playing without Ben so I'm damned proud of them ( Read more... )

I think I'm getting a cold. I've gone the whole year, even thorough the winter from hell, without a cold, but now I think I'm coming down with one. I took this afternoon off work because I was feeling kind of punky, and now my head is really getting all balloony and my throat is scratchy. Damn germ-laden hotels!

Went to see my endocrinologist this morning, and my numbers weren't as good as last time. My weight was up, LDL levels were up, and my thyroid numbers weren't good calling for a change in my medication dosage. The only good thing was my blood pressure. Anyway, so I need to get back on my diet and stay away from the chocolate (my biggest downfall ( Read more... )
