Back from the wilds of Yosemite
So, I'm back. Not sick anymore still croaky but no longer having asthma attacks right and left. The hiking was great, the caving was great, but the cross country skiing?? Hated it!!! I'm still bruised from falling down so much. It was a lotta work, but I was able to keep one young man there rather than have to send him home early which makes ( Read more... ) -
going to Yosemite in spite of the damn doctor
So, I went to get the ole lungs checked one more time before leaving for Yosemite...and he said I shouldn't go! I'm going anyway! Besides it's raining and scheduled for snow on Sunday and Monday so there should be less pollens. I'll take the nebulizer in case the asthma really acts up. I probably won't do too much in the way of hiking unless I ( Read more... ) -
Prepping for Yosemite
So I'm chaperoning Ru's class for a week at Yosemite. I have Ru and one other - a friend of Ru's with food allergies of the sort that can't be managed by avoiding one type of fruit or whatever. I have been calling and calling the people who are doing the food there, and I keep getting the "we'll call you back right away" crap. I'm getting cranky ( Read more... ) -

It freaking works beautifully! I can breathe at night and I'm not snoring says my wife. I feel rested and no longer feel like if I stop for 30 ( Read more... ) -
Nate's back
My beloved son, the middle one, just popped back into my life after nearly three years of being out of contact. I am overjoyed that he is safe. He spent the last few months in jail, but it gave him the chance to access mental health care and get diagnosed with clinical depression. I'm sure that was a lot of the reason he disappeared - ( Read more... ) -
Having responded to a couple of these, I feel obligated to post it in my journal
Leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember. Don't send a message, leave a comment here. Next, re-post this in your notes/LJ and see how many people leave a memory about you. -
working day
So I had to miss the kid's swim meet because I have a class going - 2nd of three. She did an awesome job at the meet! I had a good class and will be working the rest of the day. Maybe I'll get some more work done on the new sock. -
Seven Squared
So I turned 49 yesterday. I worked a swim meet from 7:45 am to 4:40 pm. Got home, jumped through the shower and headed out to Kazoo (favorite Japanese restaurant) for birthday dinner with my family and some dear friends. Excellent dinner was had by all. Got home chatted for a bit with everyone, hopped into the hot tub for a while then fell down ( Read more... ) -
